Fun but very sketchy on the history

It was fairly good fun but the guide really needed to brush up on her history given this was billed as a historical walking tour. It was all a bit superficial.
Bad jokes in Boston

This tour was a joke - it is called the Freedom Trail tour and the guide never even mentioned the Freedom Trail. Our group had at least 80 people in it which was ridiculous trying go maneuver with that many people to the landmarks we walked to which were few and far between. The tour had us retracing our steps. We spent half the time crammed into a cemetery where the guide told bad jokes that we could barely hear. He spent the other half the time telling us about Sam Adams beer. Don’t waste your money. We ditched it after an excruciating hour.

I have done the Freedom Trail tour 3 times but Elaina was by far the very best I’ve ever had. She was funny, smart, and made learning so fun and interesting. She was great with my 4 year old and our whole family just enjoyed her energy and presence. Would recommend anyone request her specifically as she made the tour I’ve done before new, exciting and fun!

It was so interesting that we didn't want to miss anything Ben was saying. Very knowledgeable and skilled storyteller. Shared the warts and the glory of the people and the time.

Catherine was amazing. She pointed out things I didn’t know about the freedom trail and cemeteries we visited. Did a great job of fielding questions the group had. It was a fun experience.
