4.00Great historical component! Loved the storytelling. Might be a tad boring for kids who aren’t yet into history. But it’s also short enough that they can manage.
Good intro to the Revolutionary War sites in Boston

5.00Our guide Adrie was from Belgium and had a wonderful grasp on the nuances of American revolutionary history! The reason for the title is that it was pouring rain the day of our tour, but 4 of us showed up and Adrie made the best of it for us all! True dedication!
Great tour!

5.00Our tour guide Nate, dressed as (and at times acting as) a colonial, led us on fascinating and witty tour of Boston in the Revolutionary era. Expect lots of great anecdotes, reality checks on the sometimes embellished history we were taught in school, and a deep reverence for the history of land, the people who toiled here and the sacrifices they made to break from England. Highly recommend.
Perfect

Disrupted Day, Disappointing Communications

- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00Our Boston tour was a significant disappointment due to a lack of communication. We had planned for a noon start at the Arts booth, but the guide never appeared. After our telephone calls to the tour operator went unanswered, searching for the correct location and asking multiple other tour guides for directions, we finally found the Boston Common Visitor Center and joined a much later tour at 2:30 p.m. We later discovered that an email had been sent with a last-minute change to the tour's time and location. Unfortunately, this crucial update was lost among the many promotional emails we receive from TripAdvisor, and we missed it while rushing to get off our cruise ship. This mix-up completely disrupted our plans for our single day in Boston. To make matters worse, we have yet to receive an apology or a refund from either TripAdvisor or the tour operator.
