Eric was very knowledgeable on all the topics and spoke with great enthusiasm. However, the tour went over approximately 30 minutes. This tour is better suited for adults.

Kiera, our guide, was tremendous. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and provided superb insight to the history and its impact on the time period. Plan for the weather - our tour was late October - it was cool and windy - so plan accordingly.

Our guide, Amir, explained to us how Boston and it’s residents played a role in the revolutionary war while walking the through this historic city. It was like a listening to a lecture from a passionate college professor.

It’s a long tour with a ton of information. She presented it thoroughly without sounding like a monotonous recitation. She did great. Kept the group moving without leaving anyone behind. Ready to answer questions and provide additional information when asked.

Tracy is a superb guide. Her background teaching history takes her guiding to the next level. She was great at placing the audience directly into these formative American history moments in a captivating way. And for someone who isn’t American, I appreciated the way she made it so coherent and accessible. Thanks Tracy! Rebecca

Amir was awesome. He filled the time with his extensive knowledge of history. Never realized how central Boston was to that period
