5.00We did a 12:30 tour on the last Sunday of May. Sorry I forgot the name of our tour guide but he was great and it was a perfect time frame for our 1 day trip to Boston.
Great experience for both kids and adults

5.00Prior to booking our Freedom Trail tour, we went to Reddit for unfiltered opinions and reviews. The general consensus was that Boston Town Crier was a solid choice and it didn’t disappoint. Our guide “James Otis” was fantastic; he kept the group engaged with a balance of fun and facts. If you are planning a trip to Boston to do the whole touristy thing, add this to your itinerary.
Look back to Early Boston

3.00Unfortunate circumstances. I had booked a PRIVATE tour for our 7 family members. On the morning of the tour I received a call that our guide was sick and could we change the time from 11:30 to 2:30. it was an inconvenience but we rearranged our schedule and said ok. I called to reconfirm. When we arrived at appointed time we were told no private guide was available but we could join the small group already scheduled. That group turned out to be almost 30 people. When asked about the refund difference, he talked a credit. I said no and wanted a refund difference of almost $300. We did the tour but felt cheated. I have not received the credit as of today which is a week later. Very disappointed with this experience.
Trip Advisor never let company know we purchase our Private Freedom trail with them, should company our receipt

1.00Because trip advisor never told the company that was running the freedom trail, that we paid and schedule a tour. So we never got our private tour at all

5.00“Samuel Gray” was an excellent and interesting host and docent for our tour, with great storytelling skills and a wealth of new history and information. He was considerate and led our group with great skill. I would highly recommend this tour, and ask for “Samuel Gray!”

5.00We weren’t sure which tour we wanted so went to the visitors center and this is the one they offered us. The tour was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job of making stops in the shade, which was particularly important because it was rather hot. He did a great job separating fact from fiction what we may have known.
