It was an amazing and informative tour! Our tour guide Mark had great energy and was extremely knowledgeable! Also, he added a couple extra stops along the way. The group size was perfect. He even had extra waters for us. We had the opportunity to take pictures. There was no theatrics with story telling. He kept it real. l also appreciated how he included the women’s contribution’s to this part of history. It was truly a great experience!

This was the best tour I have ever been experienced, and the credit goes to our tour guide, Mark. He has studied Revolutionary War history extensively and put together his own material for the tour narration. Mark put together a story of the revolution that connects cause and effect in a way that everyone can understand. I wish every high school student could go on his tour. They would come away with a clear understanding of the events and be inspired about our country's history.

This was our first time walking the Freedom Trail. Mark was very engaging and knowledgeable about the events and players of the time. He goes into greater detail than the standard history text book tour, talking about important characters that don’t see the light of day in US history 101. It was a beautiful day in Boston, and maybe I even learned something.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable of the events leading up to the American Revolution and used the sites visited effectively to tell the story. He was eloquent and entertaining throughout the tour. As someone who enjoys walking and hiking, this tour was ideal for my group.

We had such a great time on our Boston walking tour with Mark! He was super friendly, funny, and full of cool facts about the city. You can tell he really knows his stuff and loves sharing Boston’s history. Mark made the stories come alive — from the Freedom Trail to hidden spots we never would’ve found on our own. He kept everyone engaged the whole time and made sure we all had a great experience. It didn’t feel rushed at all, and he even gave us awesome tips for restaurants and things to do after the tour. If you’re in Boston, definitely book a tour with Mark — you’ll learn a ton, laugh a lot, and walk away loving the city even more!
