4.00i have done the walking tour in the past but it wasn't as elaborate as this one. our tour guide was dressed to impress us (with the old garb) and i especially enjoyed the cemetery area where i learned so much about boston's history of famous & infamous persons. if you are into history - this is the tour that you'd like to go & venture into.
Worthwhile experience!

5.00My wife and I did the walking tour with our guide "John Hancock", briefly known as "Timothy ". He was a wealth of knowledge, extremely engaging, and encouraged questions. We loved this experience and learned a lot! Highly recommended and well worth the time and money.
