Review of Boston’s 2.5-hour small-group Freedom Trail tour, with 16 landmarks, strong storytelling, cemetery stops, and North End views.

“Toby did a great job of explaining the history in an entertaining way—I definitely left retaining knowledge instead of being overwhelmed and not retaining anything. It was nice that half way through the walk you get a brief stop to use the bathroom and grab a drink if needed. Definitely worth the money!!”
