5.00The pre tour preparation was detailed, frequent and welcome. Kat was totally focused on us knowing and understanding the presentations she had for the Boston marathon and other sports familiar to Boston. She was well versed in the history of sports events and made them interesting. She was exceptionally easy to listen to and was also easy on the eyes. Very engaging personality and full of energy.
You won’t be disappointed

5.00Tour was great. A few of my buddies and I came into town for a Red Sox game and decided to do this tour. Kat is a certified public historian. It’s one of the main reasons we decided to go with her rather than some random tour. Thank you!!!
Learned a lot in 2 hours!

5.00Kat was a great tour guide, very passionate! Even though we already knew a lot of Red Sox history, we learned a lot more interesting fun facts. The Boston marathon piece of the tour was really interesting to me. I had little knowledge of or appreciation for the event before, but really found it fascinating. Great tour!

5.00Our family had a wonderful tour with Kat as our guide. It was very informative and provided lots of historical details which we appreciated. Our kids enjoyed it as well! Kat did a wonderful job with engaging them by letting them guess answers to questions relating to the tour which made it interactive. We truly enjoyed and highly recommend this tour!
A very passionate tour

5.00Kat’s tour is a top notch walking tour for any level of sports fan or not! Her first hand account and connection to Boston sports is paired with historical information which makes it engaging and heartfelt. She made it a highlight of our first visit to this amazing city! Don’t miss out on this tour during your visit! I missed reading that the tour focused on the Boston Marathon and Red Cox only and would have liked to have heard about the Celtics but that would have needed another hour or more of walking. We used the Go City Explorer pass for admission but would have gladly paid the admission fee if this was among the few things I was doing on our visit. Highly recommended!
Great Tour
