Our tour Guide was Ben and he was AMAZING! it was by far one of the best things that we did while in Boston. Not only do you learn so much but we learned how to navigate our way around. It was fascinating and fun at the same time. If you are going to Boston its a MUST!

A very informative and fun tour. Ben did a great job at explaining the landmarks and history. As a complete US history novice I sometimes struggled to keep up as there was so much to take in, but I’ve recommended the tour to others!

Best walking tour ever! Captain Pickles brought his knowledge and historical background to bare and I learned much more about Boston and the revolutionary years. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Jeremiah Poope, is Boston in a nutshell! Funny, witty, and full of stories and secrets that only a true Bostonian would know. He kept the attention of my teenage son, and made us all laugh! The tour is short, affordable, and definitely worth it! You can’t experience the city like this on a bus! Highly recommend!

Fantastic walking tour led by ‘Captain Pickles’. Not only was he informative, but entertaining. Very well organized and thought-through. The first guide I’ve ever met who has researched original manuscripts! He also displays a genuine love and interest for the history, and provides context on the actual events vs written narratives. Highly recommended.
