Look for the glass-and-metal awning that extends over the sidewalk—this is right beside the Surface Rd & Hanover St bus stop. Above the entrance, you’ll see a sign that reads “Massachusetts Department of Transportation”. This is the correct door and the spot where your guide will be waiting.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of the Freedom Trail in Boston. Nabil, our guide, was fantastic. His knowledge of Boston and the history of everything we saw along the freedom trail made it a memorable tour. If you’re lucky enough to have Nabil as your guide I guarantee you’ll have a wonderful Freedom Trail tour.
Friendly and Knowledgeable

5.00We were very lucky to get a private tour with Olivia, she was excellent wealth of knowledge about Boston, and its history I would put her in my top five of guides in fact all the guides have been great on this trip. Olivia was very thoughtful to us both as my Wife has a bad ankle, so she kept the pace a bit slower for her, which I appreciated. Thank you for that. Overall, the tour was well laid out and set at a nice pace
Boston History Tour & Beacon Hill neighborhood

5.00This tour consisted of a nice mix of historical sites and anecdotes, as well as tidbits about life in contemporary Boston. I’d say it’s a wonderful opportunity for anyone visiting Boston to learn more about this “Birthplace of the American Revolution”. I especially liked seeing the oldest tavern in the US, various monuments and statues, as well as other places I can go visit a bit later on to step back into American history in more depth. Our guide was Claire, and she did a fabulous job. She was warm and inviting to each person in our little group. This experience was like a friendly visit through town with a knowledgeable friend.
