4.00Our guide was very engaging and animated and he kept our attention throughout the tour. The tour ran longer than advertised which worked fine for our family but if you had something else planned it could have been a problem. We learned a great deal about the beginning of Boston and we were reminded of parts of American history that we hadn't thought about in many years.
Interesting for kids
