We had a great time with Ben who gave us a really informative tour with an interesting spin on history. He was also very willing to detour for us when we saw something of intersts (mainly food!). It was also refresshing to get the history of Boston without idolising the foudning fathers. Thanks Ben!

Don’t just take our word for it
Ellen was a great tour guide and we enjoyed learning the history of the different areas of Boston, including stories of individuals that we were not familiar with from our classes in school. She personalized the tour by asking about the types of things we were interested in, especially as it related to the trials following the Boston massacre. We would highly recommend her to others interested in an educational, informative and exciting trip through the areas of Boston.
Our tour was just wonderful. We really enjoyed Jim, and we learned so much about Boston. It was a wonderful tour !!
