5.00Kenneth was an excellent host and guide. He shared he is a lifelong Bostonian and is passionate about its history! He answered so many questions and encouraged interruptions from our small group to ensure everyone what they came for. He shared lots of anecdotal stories, little known facts, and made it really enjoyable for everyone. We would definitely take another tour with Kenny!

5.00Jim was great. You could hear his voice from the back of the group (and that is something hard to do). He was motivated, told an amazing story and was very friendly. Would recommend.
Best tour!
