The guide, Jeremiah Poope, was terrific. Lots of history and plenty of humor. I would do it again and would be especially eager if we could have Jeremiah as our guide.

Not what we expected. Too many long stories instead of clear explanation. Many people on the group were not locals/native English speakers and it was very hard to follow the instructor

Worst tour BY FAR we have taken with Viator.
Loots
, Jun 2022
Group size was about 80, completely unmanageable for a city tour. The tour guide’s preparation was at best adequate. She was entirely insensitive to the difficulty people at the rear end of the group had hearing and keeping up with her movement along the Trail. Iatrogenic should cease representing this tour. It besmirches your good name.

icon Response from Host , Jun 2022
We're very sorry about your bad experience. We have already refunded your tickets. Earlier in the day 911 was called for a tour guide who experienced a medical emergency while on tour. All guests were refunded. This led to a lot of traumatized guests, us being down one employee, and many guests asking to take the next tour instead. Unfortunately this made later tours larger than allowed under normal circumstances. In addition to the refund, we would also like to offer you a gift card to take our tour for free at a later time of your choosing. Email us at histrionicacademy@gmail.com if you'd like to take us up on the offer for a gift card in addition to the refund which has already been initiated.

Our guide seemed very knowledgeable but would over-talk the stop and lose most of the groups attention because of rambling. Seemed to want to tell her version of how the poor and the slaves were wronged in this time than telling about the sites. I know the two can tie together but it got a bit too much. Several couples, including us walked away before it was over.

Not what I signed up for
Inger_J
, May 2022
There was too much talking, not enough walking, and very few sites to see. We spent 1 hour and a half in the Boston common area park and cemetery. We signed up to see more than that for that period of time, so we ended up leaving the tour at 1pm.

the wonderful story telling of Jeffery. We also enjoyed the facts that Jeffery was able to bring to life. Jeffery took a lot of care to make sure my handicapped wife was included in all the tour. He made extra effort to help her get into the cemetery so she did not miss anything.

Steve was an excellent narrator and walk was very enjoyable. Steve had a very pleasant attitude and added many tidbits that made the walk a lot of fun. He also included the children and made them a big part of the experience.

Tour guide matters.
Eileen_W
, May 2022
We arrived as instructed 15 minutes early for tour. We are informed our tour guide was not there, might come or might not come. We then were offered Jeremiah Poop to start our tour until our tour guide arrived. We had 15 minutes of fun, knowledge and enjoyment with Jeremiah. Our tour guide arrived and then fun, knowledge and enjoyment ended. Not sure of her name she did not introduce herself. We were told to gather around, she asked if we were all there, not sure how we were suppose to now this. When no one answered she scolded us and said "when I ask a question I expect an answer". And so it begun, we were ordered scalded and lectured for the rest of the tour. I feel we were not given a broad enough history of the areas we saw, she seemed to have an agenda ....

Eats of time and money
Douglas_G

None . The group leader was not prepared. Stated incorrect information ( we checked on google several times ). Was not real pleasant, uninspiring . While I understand we were his 1st tour and wanted to give him lots of slack , he was totally overwhelmed for the tour . I’m sorry to be writing this but since I was emailed I thought as a buisness owner you should be made aware . My wife and I left after 45 minutes and did the walk ourselves.

John Hancock was a great guide and kept it interesting and easy to follow. Our boys (11/13) pretended to be uninterested however after the tour both admitted they really liked it! 👍🏻 Success!! Well done JH. ☺️
