5.00We had an extraordinary time on our Boston tour! Ben was our guide and he made us feel like we actually went back in time! From his authentic colonial accent, to how he walked with his cane, Ben was exceptional at making the history of Boston come alive!! I recommend Ben and this tour to everyone!
Very worthwhile.
