Great tour with knowledgeable guide! - Despite very rainy conditions, Alan was a wealth of knowledge that only comes from being a lifelong Bostonian. He hit all the high points and also touched on architecture and some history of Boston that isn’t as well known. The tour was much smaller than others that I saw and I appreciated that. He gave 2 great dinner recommendations also. Thanks to Alan for a great afternoon.

Boston trip - Alan is very knowledgeable, we had a great time learning about Boston history. The two hour tour was plenty for my seven year old. Be advised to pack a jacket in case it gets windy.

It was cold and windy that morning so be sure to check the weather and dress appropriately. We found the tour to be full of interesting information and sights.

Alan rocks - book this tour! - Alan, I cannot thank you enough for the amazing tour and for hanging in with our party of 6 ranging from 3 (almost 4) to 74! You had something for everyone in your tour. The information you shared was incredible, and the way you engaged with each member of our party and the other family we toured with was top notch. I also appreciated your humor and the clear joy you bring to what you do. Most importantly, we learned so much along our Freedom Trail and Beacon Hill tours!
