The guide was nice, but the talk was a little disjointed and hard to follow. Finding the meeting spot and guide was easy. Would I do it again…no.

I have been traveling and touring for 15 days and the walking tour with Captain Pickles has been my favorite! It was informative, fun, and covered so much history of Boston and the many individuals who helped shape our country’s history. I give him 10 out of 10 rating! Do yourself a favor and book his walking tour. You won’t regret it.
