5.00Our guide Zoe, also known as Mercy Otis, was excellent and very informative. We learned a lot! Loved her stories! One suggestion we have is for her to carry a flag; on the very crowded streets it was difficult to follow her. Tim and Barb Melloy

4.00Great historical component! Loved the storytelling. Might be a tad boring for kids who aren’t yet into history. But it’s also short enough that they can manage.
Good intro to the Revolutionary War sites in Boston

5.00Our guide Adrie was from Belgium and had a wonderful grasp on the nuances of American revolutionary history! The reason for the title is that it was pouring rain the day of our tour, but 4 of us showed up and Adrie made the best of it for us all! True dedication!
Great tour!

5.00Our tour guide Nate, dressed as (and at times acting as) a colonial, led us on fascinating and witty tour of Boston in the Revolutionary era. Expect lots of great anecdotes, reality checks on the sometimes embellished history we were taught in school, and a deep reverence for the history of land, the people who toiled here and the sacrifices they made to break from England. Highly recommend.
Perfect
