“Had an absolute fantastic trip. Informative, and we were lucky with so many sightings! A really good option for a Boston experience! There is always a chance you won’t see whales, but the ride out was is great. Bring something to contain your hair if it is long and a jacket. Even if warm, the wind can be chilly. 10/10 experience.”

“Hugo was AMAZING!! His knowledge of Boston history and the various neighborhoods really added to our overall Boston experience. I loved his personal anecdotes. This was a great way to get an overview of Boston history, allowed to see the places that were of particular interest in an unrushed manner, and take a mental note of other sights we wanted to go back to. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if your time is limited in Boston, or if it is near the start of your Boston adventure. Taking the tour with Hugo will really make the tour extra informative and entertaining.”
Walk the Freedom Trail with a period-costumed guide on a 1.2-mile route packed with Revolution-era landmarks for $26.
“It was enjoyable and the walk was not at all strenuous. There were only 4 stairs. It gave interesting fun facts.”
