Nice small group where we could listen as we walked to guides comments. Meet up was easy in front of public library. We should of showed up early to visit the interior of the library. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had lots of information to keep us interested.

Boston is a lovely city, and our tour guide Alan showed us more fabulous places - like the final stop on the underground railroad, the first integrated Baptist Church and the English church that has no steeple. I learned about the creation of the city, the subway and the city planning.

The freedom walk in Boston was perfect. Alan our tour guide was not only knowledgeable but was friendly and help at the beginning,during and at the end of the tour. This was a great way to see Boston. Definitely worth the time.

Superb walking tour! Our tour guide Andrew was engaging and brought the history to life with fun facts and historical context that was unbeknownst to me, a college history major. It’s amazing how much one can keep learning! I was riveted by it all. Well worth the time and money.

This would have been a good tour for people with a lot of prior knowledge about history. With kids and one person not being American we wanted an overview of the historical events rather than snippets of fun facts. We walked away not feeling as we had learnt a lot however the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Great tour from Alan, our very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Good pace, lots of information, and he even let us run the Boston marathon at the end 😆. Definitely recommend if you want a run down of the main historic sites in the area and also some interesting nuggets of information about the more recent history of Boston too. Will go again with Boston City walks if we visit again. Cheers Alan, Ewan and Theresa.

Allen was very knowledgeable. In pain right now since elbow surgery. Nice walk. Nice group. Be sure to leave time to do free tour of Boston public library Friday or Saturday available. About an hour. Beautiful structure. This is where the tour starts. Steps of library.

The information about the building architecture was helpful. Also, the guide agreed to go to Acorn St. and Louisburg Sq. which was a bit off the beaten path in back of Beacon Street which was very interesting.

This was a wonderfully informative walk! Our guide, Andrew, was so engaging and made the history really come alive.
