Our tour guide was an actual historian! How cool is that?? Mikayla M gave us a delightful, enjoyable, thorough Freedom Trail tour. She made sure we were safe at all times and that we could hear all of her tidbits of history. We learned a lot!!

Our tour guide, Lyn was fantastic. A real trooper for hanging with us through t h e pouring rain .. Her knowledge and friendliness was much appreciated. We all were soaked at the end but thought it was still a great value.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Tour with Jeremiah Poope! I recently joined a Freedom Trail tour in Boston led by Jeremiah Poope, and it was easily one of the highlights of my trip. Jeremiah’s passion for Boston’s history, combined with his humor and storytelling, brought the Revolutionary era to life in a way that was both entertaining and deeply informative. He balanced historical accuracy with great energy and interaction, making sure everyone—from locals to first-time visitors—felt engaged. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. I left the tour with a whole new appreciation for the city’s role in shaping America. If you’re visiting Boston, ask for Jeremiah by name—you’ll be glad you did! — Terry Schmidt
