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!

Know Boston Better - Our guide was very knowledgeable. Also, took time to explain items (buildings, parks, history etc.) in great detail. Also allowed time to take pictures and ask questions.

Great tour, ask for Alan - Alan was an amazing tour guide and clearly loves his job and Boston. He has a lot of info to share and we were lucky to have a small group. So glad we didn't have a tour with a guide in costume yelling into a mega phone.

History architecture eating shopping and culture all in one day in Boston - Allan’s walking tour of Boston was brilliant. A small group and an amazing guide whose history and story telling made American history come to life. Loved it and made me wish I had many more days to explore what Boston has on offer.
