We lucked out and had our guide, Alex, all to ourselves. She paced the tour appropriately and gave interesting, insightful, and thorough explanations at each of the major landmarks along the freedom trail. Watching the other tours of 30-40 people trudge past the three of us made us very happy that we had such a special experience. Alex brought enthusiasm and style to her storytelling. Would highly recommend this tour experience. While we also booked 2 other experiences in Boston, we felt this was the most comprehensive and up close connection to the historical Boston experience.
