Back in Time

Our history and guide, Matthew was extraordinary. His passion for history and his understanding of legend versus truth brought the past alive, as we walked through Boston. He was a captivating story-teller who took us with him, back in time. Thank you!

Fantastic tour - enlightening and humor too!

Jim in December

Published on Dec, 2024

Jim was great! Very knowledgeable. Engaged kids and took questions. Highly recommended for all groups. Lots to share along the trail but Jim highlighted the must-knows. We enjoyed learning a little more about the history of immigrants, commerce and trade and the overlooked.

Excellent walking tour of Boston history!

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a great time on our tour today with Kenneth! We had a private group of 4 and did the freedom trail. Kenneth did an excellent job telling stories, taking us to notable history spots, and answering endless questions from our group. We all had a great time, learned a lot about Boston history, and got to explore the city. We were impressed with his scope of knowledge and the ease with which he linked it all together, while keeping a great pace and providing the right amount of detail.
