Fantastic Experience - Paulie was fantastic - Paulie was absolutely fantastic - his enthusiasm for history and love of Boston really brought the tour to life. This was our second trip to Boston and we learned so much more thanks to Paulie's huge knowledge and sense of fun. We were met by Paulie at the correct time and location which was easy to find. I could not recommend this tour highly enough.

Best tour in Boston! - We had a great walking tour with Paul, a Boston local, very knowledgeable and entertaining. Our kids 7 and 13 had no issues walking and had a lot of fun. The tour was rich in history and great local recommendations.

Paulie gave my family a... - Paulie gave my family a wonderful tour along the Freedom Trail. He was extremely friendly & enthusiastic as he taught us the history of Boston. We really enjoyed his easy going demeanor & all the tips along the way of other interesting spots that we may want to explore on our own. It was chilly on our tour date but Paulie kept us in the sunny spots. I can only imagine how beautiful all the sites are during spring time. I would definitely recommend this tour! *Our tips to future patrons are to make sure to wear comfy shoes and use the restroom before showing up to the tour meeting spot. There weren't any public restrooms around until we were about halfway through. **Many thanks Paulie😊 from the Torres Family of Tx

What can I say but if you have the time and you love history go on this walking tour. - Very informative and interesting walking tour with a guide who is passionate about his subject. I learnt a lot about Paul Revere and others who were the heroes shaping the country for how it is today . I also found out about other interesting names from the past and how they lived in the Old Boston. Thank you Paulie!

Very informative walking tour and great guide! - Pauline could not have been a better guide to have on a walking tour. He is passionate about his city and subject and describes the history with a visual perspective. I understood the whole historical factor of it and I found it very interesting. I only wish that I had gone on a day when "mother nature "was kinder to us as it was freezing cold and really icy winds! It makes it hard to concentrate and that was no fault of Paulie. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys history and would like to know more about the Old Boston.
