Great overview of The Freedom Trail and Boston History
This was a great way for our family of 4 (including 2 teens) to become acquainted with Boston! Neal did a great job keeping us all engaged throughout the tour. We covered a lot of ground, learning about Boston and its history as well as US history along the way.

The Best of Boston
We had an outstanding private Freedom Trail tour with Cindy and could not recommend her more highly. She is an incredible storyteller who brings Boston’s history vividly to life. Instead of just pointing out landmarks, she shared fascinating stories about the people and events that shaped the American Revolution, making every stop engaging and memorable. It also happened to be an extremely windy day, and Cindy went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. At one point she even guided us to a nearby Marshall’s so we could grab sweatshirts and hats before continuing the tour, a small gesture that really showed how thoughtful and attentive she is with her guests. Cindy’s knowledge was remarkable, and she answered every question with enthusiasm and depth. She paced the tour perfectly, allowing us time to take in the historic sites while weaving together the larger story of Boston and the birth of the nation. If you’re visiting Boston and want more than just a walk past historic buildings, book a tour with Cindy. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip.

Neal is amazing!!
We had a great tour with Neal! We brought our grandparents who wanted to see the city, but can’t walk too much. They felt like they saw the whole city and loved hearing all the knowledge Neal had! Bonus, he was very funny! Neal even put a headset on to speak through the speakers so they could hear him better (he was loud enough for the younger ears, but for their sake!). Great experience for all ages, would definitely do it again. Thank you, Neal!!

Wonderful Boston Tour with amazing guide Neil
This was the perfect tour with Neil - the best tourguide we ever encountered! We were a group of four returning from acruise and had time for a half day tour before flying home. Neil picked us and our luggage up on time at the cruise ship terminal. The communication prior to pick up was exceptional. A four hour driving/walking tour thru Boston followed with drop off at the airport. Neil has an incredible knowledgable of EVERYTHING!! And he is funny, a great driver, the dynamic and energy of our group and him was just wonderful. From stopping at his favorite bakery for tasting freshly baked cannolis, walking thru the awesome historic section to driving thru different neighborhoods covering all the famous highlight of this amazing City - the time flew by, this tour was amazing thanks to Neil. If I could I would have given it 7*'s. Thank you Neil! Christina, Elena, Maria & Jerry
Neal is the BEST!
This is the second time I've booked Neal. He's a master of history and delivers it in an entertaining way. Neal taught history and had to keep the kids engaged and he does that with his tours, never white washing the truth. We learned so much! Neal is the man!

Private tour with female and male histories
Cindy, our guide, was amazing. She was knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, and very patient with our questions. She showed us streets and alleys and told building histories that we never would have heard or thought about happening in Boston. I very much recommend the private tour, which gives you a more in-depth personable experience that is incomparable to a large group. We were able to do things that most couldn’t do and we were able to go at our own pace. We skipped the parts that we had already seen while here in Boston. And the best part I was with my two daughters, ages 17 and 14, and we requested to know more about the women in the history of Boston, which so much of the history has been reported around the famous founding fathers and fighters so often leaving out much of the story. We learned both sides, the men and their contributions to history and the women and their contributions. It was a very worthwhile and educational experience, which I hardly recommend.

Amazing Boston Tour with Neal!
We had so much fun on this tour! Neal was fantastic from start to finish, especially since he was dealing with a group of mostly "seasoned" women and one in a wheelchair. He took his time getting us from place to place, and made sure we weren't on the bumpiest streets for the wheelchair. His commentary was as delightful as it was enlightening. And, his recommendation of Modern Pastry for our cannoli stop after the tour ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. As a travel agent, I will highly recommend future clients take a tour with him in Boston because I know they'll be well looked after and have a fantastic time.

Great historial stories
Guide, i think Gabe , was very personable and waited for the last person 10 minutes to find a place to return her bike. He knew lots of wonderful facts. Wish we had done more at the cemetery. I do not think it mentioned a long uphill or the stairs we climbed to get out of the Commons in front of the statehouse.
