5.00Delayed a few days due to weather, this was at the top of my list for tours to take. It was well worth it. Julia, I believe I got that correct, was a great tour guide. She had a genuine love for the history of Boston. Even with the Old North Church under going construction and other large groups on the Freedom Trail, she managed to maneuver us around while explaining the history. She also identified several other tours of interest which we hope to enjoy on our next visit.
Awesome!

5.00There is so much history that was explained that I would not have had a clue about if I walked the freedom trail on my own. The experience was great!
