We enjoyed our guide who lead our group through the mob of people in Boston for the 4th of July. His knowledge of the city and history was very much appreciated.
Not bad for where we went, but would have preferred to do the entire trail
Great tour. There is so much to see in Boston, one tour hardly does it justice. Minor point, we lost our tour guide at the cemetery for a while due to the massive number of people there. Wish he would have brought a flag along for that part.
Great tour!
Although somewhat interesting, this walking tour was very slow-paced and did not cover as many of the historic places that I thought it would cover. Our tour guide spent the first ten minutes of the tour talking at our starting point. So, instead of the advertised 70 minutes walking tour, I think it actually ended up to be about 50 minutes in real time. I felt like I could have done this walking tour myself and saved some money
