This was a great way to see and learn about so many different neighborhoods while getting a nice walk in at the same time. We learned a lot from Captain Pickles and thoroughly enjoyed his passion for history.

Tour was fantastic and really beats walking around randomly on your own. The tour guide we had was Elena (aka Mother Goose), funny, entertaining, knowledgeable, and contagiously enthusiastic. She spoke clearly (our visitor from Italy was able to understand Elena). Would highly recommend, it was a fun experience and really got to see the best of Boston with great narration!

We took this tour at the last minute as we were planning on doing it ourselves. Wise decision. Captain Pickles is s great tour guide. Even my teenage daughter asked questions. He has a lot of historical knowledge and entertained us with many stories. We were able to enlighten him on certain information regarding historical figures from our little island of Jersey,UK too. 😀
