Nico was very knowledgeable! We learned some things that we did not know. He was a true historian. He always made sure we could hear and had the time we needed to see everything. A bathroom break was also built in, which was appreciated.

Nick did a great job of telling the story in a way that brought the timeline and key events to life. I’m glad it wasn’t just a stop by the points of the history trail. It’s all about the points in between too! I came in having been well-read on the topic of Boston history. I learned a lot with Nick’s tour.

This tour was a small group which is why I purposely selected this one. Nick, our tour guide, was excellent. He was very informative. There is quite a bit of walking. I wouldn't recommend this for someone who has difficulty in walking or young children. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn the history of Boston. I thoroughly enjoyed this and Nick!

Our Freedom Trail recipe is simple: small groups and spectacular guides! We're really lucky to have a local professor of Nick's caliber leading tours for us this year. Thank you for leaving us this kind review! We do recommend comfortable walking shoes for every tour, especially our longer 2.5-hour stroll. Considering the amount of walking and the history content, we recommend our tours for children ages 10+, although all are welcome!
