Informative and Entertaining

Published on Jan, 2025

Allan was very knowledgeable. The tour was well layer out. There was a good balance of humor in his delivery as well. My 8yo son was tested a few times. Would recommend this tour.

Great Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

We really enjoyed this tour. Alan was fantastic in his local knowledge and took time to answer any questions. Would definitely recommend to others looking to find an informative and personalised tour.

Amazing walking tour.

Published on Dec, 2024

Alan was very knowledgeable and had great stories and a wonderful personality. I will take the tour a second time to reinforce what i learned. Well worth every penny and more.

Must do in Boston!
