5.00Nate was an absolutely fantastic guide! Engaging and entertaining and had a wonderful wealth of knowledge. I loved his emphasis on learning from the mistakes of our past for the betterment of ourselves today. Can’t recommend this tour enough! If you can request Nate specifically, all the better!
Excellent Tour

5.00Amazing. We had John Hancock 😀 as our tour group guide. What a lovely man. Very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. The tour was longer than expected but "John" never looked at his watch once. Being the only Brit on the tour, i did get picked on for a lot of it, but all in good humour. We had a lovely group. He was very patient with the slow walkers making sure we all got across the quite busy roads safely. Would highly recommend a tour with "John".
Poope for the Win!

5.00Tour Guide was Jeremiah Poope. Highly recommend. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. He stated he’s been doing this for 20 years and he has it down. He made history fun and funny. We took the half tour which was perfect as it started to get cold in the Nov afternoon.
What a great way to spend a few hours

5.00This was so fun and we learned so much from our “Mother Goose” guide. She answered all our questions, she engaged us with the stories of the past and gave us insights you don’t get from books. Loved it!

5.00Lots of great information, things you didn’t expect with some theatrics, with information you would not even expect to get, such as where to go for something to eat afterwards.
Excellent Tour
