Between the light snowfall and Meaghan giving a great tour you really couldn't ask for a better experience. It felt magical in the best way possible.

Be prepared to walk! We stopped a lot too, but being winter, it was cold when we stopped! Amir gave us a lot of great information starting at the monument in the park! I would highly recommend and even do it again myself.

Matt was an excellent tour guide! He knew so much about the history of Boston and the revolutionary war! I loved walking through the city and seeing all the neighborhoods along the monuments on the Freedom trail. Would highly recommend this tour.!

We had the best guide Matt who is a history teacher and you could tell he knew his stuff AND he was very passionate about it! He made it fun and entertaining and really connected the history to all the sites and landmarks we visited. I learned so much about Boston’s history and the important roles it played in the formation of our country. I’m not a history person but this really sparked my interest. Would do it again, 5 stars!
