Reviews
Wow!! We would have given this tour 6 stars if we could. Our tour guide, Dave, was so knowledgeable and spun the stories to weave Chicago's history so clearly for these East Coast visitors. Loved the mixture of interior and street landmarks. We learned so much and will be sure to recommend this tour to others. A true highlight activity of our visit to Chicago.
Molly was fun and besides AMAZING seafood, we visited historical sites and learned more about Boston’s rich history. She even made changes to the tour to avoid places that we had already been! We do food tours all over the world and this one is at the top of the list.
Ms. Ally, you were truly incredible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your knowledge, your stories, and your passion with us. You made this experience unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for you.”

Fantastic time
Absolutely fantastic walking tour. Nabil was extremely knowledgeable. He took us to all the main Freedom Trail sights but also veered off to share other interesting bits of local history. It was thoroughly enjoyable.
Boston Historical Tour - fun, interesting, entertaining
Connor was AMAZING and so fun! This is my first trip to Boston, so I booked this tour, and would do it again! Highly recommend, so many historic facts in such a small space and Conner answered all of them with a smile in his face. At the end of the tour, he took his time to be sure I didn't have any questions, then asked me where I was going next, and got me going in the right direction! This was a Solo trip for me and I am a 60 year old who loves walking and history! Great company to book with a Conner was a gift!
Great tour and value for money
Conner was a fantastic guide - Enthusiastic and interesting. I had just landed from London and great thing to do on arrival.
