5.00We had a brilliant time with Sean Delaney. Got to see the a lot of the history of Boston with great food as we went along. I particularly enjoyed the way Sean told us about his personal connections to the area and the personal history of growing up in the area. Would highly recommend!

5.00A delightful mix of Boston cuisine, culture and history! Our tour guide, Sean D., met us with warmth and immediate demonstrated a breadth of Boston knowledge that kept the attention of the more casual listeners in the group, while also maintaining the rapt interest of this old History teacher! Sean went the extra mile, knowing we had to get back to Logan airport, by guiding us to the Blue Line stop and thereby saving us the Lyft fare (and traffic angst) that we otherwise would have incurred! He also texted us a few ideas for sights to take in upon our return!
A great mix of Boston's cuisine culture and history
