My husband and I enjoyed the Freedom Tour very much. Our guide, Drew was extremely knowledgeable of American history and you could tell loves his job. He took time to answer our questions but also keep us on pace and was very thorough and passionate. I learned a lot and found it very interesting. I would highly recommend the Freedom Tour and would request Drew.

Gianna was awesome!! She really brought the history to life. She is passionate and intelligent and just made the whole tour lovely. Great experience.

Dewald_J

Enthusiastic and very well informed guide. Small group is perfect for this kinds of experience, as the guide can communicate effectively with everyone and take questions.

Bailey_B

It was a great experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was willing to answer any questions we might have. He also walked us to a restaurant that he recommended after the tour!

Eric_M

Will was an amazing guide. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for American history in Boston was above and beyond my expectations. He delivered each story like you were right there. If I had to choose, my favorite explanation would be the Boston Massacre. The 2 1/2 hours flew by and it never for once felt boring. His passion and love for the historical accounts of the city came through. I felt very lucky that he was my tour guide.

rebeccarB3879QD

Very accommodating to folks of different ages & capabilities. Sometimes a little difficult to hear our guide. I would take this tour again! The up close & personal aspect of the walking tour is wonderful, but a second choice for those with real mobility concerns would be a bus tour. Rebecca

Sherylann_K
