  • "Also, I really wouldn't recommend bringing children because of all the walking and because the content will probably not keep them engaged." See review

Brought History to Life!

Wow, Mike was a fountain of knowledge. This was a great way to relive the story of the American Revolution. I learned more about how the events unfolded, the real people involved, their back stories and what parts they played on this tour than I had thought I knew all my life. Mike presents it all in a fun, yet fascinating way. This was absolutely the best way to explore the events that occurred in Boston. If you are any kind of history buff, or just want to learn more about Boston, this is your tour! What are you waiting for...

This tour was worth the time and money! Mike, the guide, was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. He presented history as a story, tying all the historical characters in context to each place that we visited. My 23 year old daughter enjoyed it, too, because Mike went beyond stating facts: the story of how all the main characters played a role leading to the revolution was very interesting. The 3 1/2 hour went by quick! There’s a coffee/restroom break half way into the tour. The group was a bit larger than advertised - there were 20 of us, but Mike had a loud voice so it was easy to hear him. Surprisingly, only 4 out of 21 people were wearing mask despite Viator’s “covid-19 safety measures” published in their website that says “face masks required for travelers in public areas.”

Hard to pin point one item of the tour as the most memorial but I would put the statue of Paul Revere with the church as a backdrop at the top of my list. Mike (our tour guide) has a passion for history and you could sense that passion in his delivery. Very informative. Bring comfortable shoes. Well worth the time and expense to experience this part of American history. God Bless America!!! Robin and Linda/Little Rock, Arkansas

A MUST WHILE IN BOSTON
Christine_S
, Sep 2021
Our guide, Mike, was outstanding—- part storyteller and part historian. Of all the tours we took this week in Boston this one was the BEST! We learned so much about the people and events leading up to the revolution but in a way that was woven along a timeline rather than a litany of dry facts. This tour is a lot of walking—— but well worth the time. Outstanding way to see most of the Freedom Trail sites!
