X6376PBmichaels, October 2026
Charlie R. Was a great and knowledgeable guide. This is a longer walk in a busy town but he kept us together and communicated well with interesting topics.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Family of 5 Approved!
Sightseer17149194349, October 2026
Our guide, Rob Crean with the Boston History Company, was entertaining. We had three kids (13, 12, 8) and keeping their attention on a 2.5 hour walk is a task, but Rob managed it well. I liked the uncommon history that was shared, like who Paul Revere's statue was modeled after. I did notice that Rob had a tour after ours that was much smaller, so if you want a smaller group maybe go for the mid afternoon tour. We were competing with other tour groups from different companies and it would have been nice to have gone at a time with less traffic and a smaller group. Overall, great overview of the Freedom Trail.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
