Chris was extremely knowledgeable and presented a clear understanding of how the revolution built up until it finally exploded. Interacted with the group well and I learned quite a bit.

An appetite for learning history

Mike was absolutely amazing, you could really feel the passion he has for the city, its history and the stories he tells you about the places you see. Very much felt like I was back in college with a professor that wanted me to learn what they were teaching. I have been to Boston before, I have been to every major city in the U.S. I have done dozens of tours and I can say without a doubt, I would do this exact tour again as long as Mike was running it. Also, greatly appreciated the food recommendations, a place like Boston, specifically the North End can overwhelm you with choices and he was Red Dead on with the Pizza recommendations. Regina's was worth the 30+ min wait.

Mike was great and very knowledgeable about the history of Boston! He really was very engaging and the pace was nice. I consider myself a history buff but even I learned a lot!

Great, unique, VERY INFORMATIVE

Mike was awesome. Educated in history and government extensively. Knew things you’ve never heard about the times, locations and especially the people. You can’t do better than this tour. Talked loud where everyone could hear, which has been lacking in other tours I’ve been on in other cities.
