5.00We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Paulie was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to spend time with. It’s clear that he loves doing this and loves Boston. Since we were the only ones on the tour, it ended up feeling like a personalized walk through history. Exploring the Freedom Trail this way made the whole experience memorable and easy to follow. Highly recommend.

5.00This was my second walking tour through Boston and this was an incredible experience! Paulie was super knowledgeable and personable. It felt like walking through the streets with an old friend. It was a two-hour walk that began in the North End and ended where Samuel Adams is buried. We were there during a slower season so it was only my co-worker and myself, which was really nice. The pricing/fee was fair and appeared to be the average market rate for these tour types but so happy that I discovered this particular one. Highly recommend this tour for a wonderful experience when visiting Boston.
