Comments about Smart Destinations The Freedom Trail Foundation Walking Tour:

Our tour guide was informative, entertaining and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed his tour and liked how he moved the tour along. It did feel like it moved just a tad fast but we did cover a lot of ground in what I consider a short amount of time -so it was definitely worth it. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston. History is all around you in this city and you'll learn all about it in this tour - complete with anecdotes that you might not otherwise learn. Take this tour!
