5.00Great information from Elaina. I felt the information was much more interesting listening to it from her point of view vs listening via audio tour. Elaina was very clear and articulate about her passion for her job. Loved it!
Best Boston Guide!

5.00Our guide was fantastic! One of the best guides I’ve ever had. The heat was unbearable and I went, planning to peel off early but because of his amazingly entertaining and informative stories- I stayed the entire time and was late for the Red Sox game!!! He made sure we found shade in the 95!degree heat- all the while he was dressed in his woolen costume!!! There were 3 young boys- ages 9-13 - who were totally engaged because of this guide. Bravo! Bravo!

5.00Elaina Jacob’s was our guide and we are so happy we went with her. She was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable and fun. Even our two middle school boys enjoyed it, which is saying something. My husband and I loved all of the little stories about lesser known figures and moments and her humor and passion were palpable. Importantly, it was sweltering and she was great about finding a corner of shade at each location. Definitely worth the time and def try to book with her! You will be so glad that you did.
Highly Recommend!
