4.00Francis was a fantastic guy! He was very knowledgeable, funny when he needed the, but extremely passionate. The tour itself was very informative. You get to learn a lot about Boston’s role in the American Revolution and we really enjoyed it. One thing to keep in mind is that you do not end up at the place you started! It does not come full circle, and you are left on your own at the end (we grabbed a Lyft). Not a huge deal, just something to keep in mind.
Great.
