Mikayla M. led our 2.5 hour tour of the Freedom Trail and I can honestly say it would not have been the same experience without her. Her background, knowledge, personality, and obvious enthusiasm for the subject matter enlightened us and ensured our engagement throughout the tour. The pacing was perfect and we are so glad we booked this tour and got Mikayla as our guide. read more

Phenomenal Freedom Trail walking tour with Mark yesterday. He's a history teacher...and was really good at it, knowledgeable, personable, professional. No costume...a serious (casual) younger gentleman with a passion for the city and its past. Recommend highly! read more

Kiera was knowledgeable and very personable. A great tour leading up to the revolution.

We did the small group freedom trail. Our guide Shawn was amazing. He is so knowledgeable and his enthusiasm made the entire tour very entertaining. I feel like we got to see more than some of the larger tours you see. I highly recommend. read more

Our tour was fantastic! We could have done the Freedom Trail on our own, but it would have been tedious to look up the historical facts that our tour guide, Jon, was able to share with such knowledge and authority. He really knows his stuff and didn't have to refer to notes or a script. He was fun, easily answered questions, and made the Freedom Trail come alive. Highly recommend!! read more

I went on the Freedom Trail tour with my mom on Sunday May 25th and it was a very fun experience, it was my first time in Boston my mom hasn't been since she was a kid. The tour started in the Boston Commons where you learn about the history of Boston itself and the Commons, we then made our way over to where the Freedom Trail begins and began walking down it. The first stop we made was to the Granary Burying Grounds we then kept going till we got to other landmarks such as where the Boston Massacre occurred and into the North End to see some more historic spots such as Paul Revere's house. The tour lasted around 2 hours in total. Our tour guide (can't remember her name unfortunately) was very friendly and knowledgeable, it was actually her first time leading a tour and she did a great job! My only two complaints would be that she didn't really give us any time at all to take photos of the different stops along the tour once she was done telling us about the significance and she did walk a bit fast there was a small family in our tour that briefly got lost because they couldn't see where our guide went. Overall I would definitely recommend Hub Town Tours and will consider doing another tour if I'm back in Boston in the future. read more

We have done many walking tour in this country and in Europe, and our Freedom Trail tour in Boston with Gianna was by far one of the best. Gianna was very knowledgeable and brought the history of Boston to life by presenting stories and fun fact's smoothly and effortlessly. What really impressed us was her attention to detail- not just in her facts , but how she took care of the group. She made sure we stopped in the shade whenever possible, which made a big difference on a sunny day. It showed how much she cared about everyone's comfort. We highly recommend this tour, and Gianna! read more

A Guided Tour of Freedom Trail is a must do for anyone visiting Boston. What a beautiful and historically significant city. Rosalie, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and thorough. She made sure we saw all 16 sites and welcomed questions without making us feel rushed. We selected this tour because it was a small group tour. Our group had 5, which included our family of 4 plus a visitor from out of the country. I'm so glad she was on our tour bc she asked good questions which allowed Rosalie the opportunity to provide us all with a much needed refresher on American Histo read more

Kaitlin was our tour guide and was phenomenal. She had a wealth of knowledge and kept us entertained with her wit. We were able to ask her questions, and she was able to provide us with detailed answers. read more

Amazing! First time in Boston and our tour guide, Cal, was incredible! She gave such a great history and overview, throwing in some great quotes and stories. She also gave some great restaurant recommendations! The walk isn't too long, especially if the temperature is good. Great way to get a lay of the land and connect it to the rich history. 10/10, Cal is great! read more

Great Freedom Trail walking tour with Rosalie! She has lots of great stories and was both informative and entertaining.

Kaitlin was phenomenal. I'm a retired teacher and she knew more than I did! I highly recommend this tour. It's beyond informative and well worth the price. read more

Hub Town Tours - Excellent tour! Kaitlin was a walking encyclopedia and should be on Jeopardy! I HIGHLY recommend this tour. Well done! - Historical Tours Near Me

Moments into the tour I knew I was going to enjoy the next couple of hours. Maureen is knowledgeable, passionate and humorous. No gimmicky outfit which I saw in other tours next to us - instead, in depth narrative and an invitation to imagine you were a contemporary of these historic times. Enough for me to commit to further reading of this period. The highlight of our visit to Boston. read more

Rosalie did absolutely amazing retelling history and keeping all of us tourists safe while we navigated Boston's Freedom Trail tour. It gave me a lot of appreciation for our country's history and founding! Also loved the food recommendations that locals go to. read more

guide - Drew - was great! He managed to cover a lot of history in a short amount of time. His narrative was fun, energetic and educational. I liked that the group was limited to 16 people so that we could all hear him without the need for earbuds and we were able to ask questions easily. So glad I chose this tour! read more

Our tour was wonderful. Maz, our guide, was knowledgeable and personable - his voice projected well (despite traffic and construction!) and he was conscientious about us finding shady spots, places to sit while he talked, and even an air conditioned break. The stories are just as much of what is good about the tour as the specific buildings or sites, so it's important to have a great guide, and Maz was terrific. (Only criticism: it's possible the tour could be trimmed to be two hours total. It was a tad long, given the content, and since it's a walking tour, to be paying attention for 2 and 1/2 hours.). Thanks! read more

This tour is amazing! Very thorough, informative, and a great way to see the city. Cleo knew so much and answered all of our questions. She was a blast and the highlight of our trip!! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the city. read more

Took the Freedom Trail Tour this morning with Drew as our guide. I can say that this is the best walking tour I have taken in any city or country we have visited. Drew told the story of the revolution with passion, enthusiasm, some comedy relief, as well as acting out the personalities of a few of the forefathers. The 2 1/2 hours flew by, and he was respectful of the guests by making sure he gave his presentations in shady and safe areas away from traffic. It is evident that Drew clearly enjoys what he is doing and his delivery is captivating. Take this tour and you will not be disappointed. I would classify the experience with Drew as not a "tour," but a "performance." Job well done by Hub Town Tours!! EXCEPTIONAL value for the price. read more

Sarah did a great job relating the sites of the freedom trail to the history of the revolution pre-1776. She taught us facts and tidbits of history that were not in the history books. Like the role of Mr. Otis in his speech sparking the revolution fervor in Boston. She made sure the small group stayed together, had a reasonable pace, and found the shady spots to keep us out of the summer sun. We would recommend to others! read more

A first-rate tour: well crafted, thoughtful, informative, and consistently entertaining and vivid. The story of the run-up to war is very well integrated into the sequence of sites, which makes for a coherent and gripping narrative. Nick, our guide, described the most prominent participants, such as John Hancock, Sam Adams, John Adams, and Paul Revere, vividly and three-dimensionally. He's clearly very knowledgeable, welcomed questions, and answered them adeptly. He described an ambiguous confrontation between a crowd of rowdy Bostonians and armed British soldiers, on the site where it took place, so colorfully and with such detail that it was easy to picture. He clearly knows the history well and has the skills to convey what happened and why in a memorable way. read more

We took the 2.5 hour walking Freedom Trail Tour. Katelyn was our tour guide. Apologies if I misspelled your name! But, she was absolutely awesome!

We took the private Freedom Trail private tour. It is our first time in Boston. We highly recommend Ted (founder and tour guide) and Hub Town Tours.

Well worth the money! read more

We decided to do a walking tour of the Freedom Trail and am so glad we did. Our tour guide, Ted, was engaging and interactive. The typical historical tour guide sounds very rote. Ted, on the other hand, was obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about that period in history. We were fortunate to have perfect weather for our tour and, although advertised as 2-1/2 hours, we spent 3 hours. Ted didn't rush through any of the stops, answered all questions thoroughly; we definitely got our money's worth! read more

This tour was AMAZING! I have done other Freedom Trail tours in the past and found them seriously lacking. I loved that this was a small group, much longer in duration, and hit all the stops on the trail. Our tour guide Drew was absolutely incredible. His knowledge of the local history and ability to share the stories in an engaging way kept us all riveted. The time passed so quickly and I could have done several more hours with him. Our three boys 9-16 loved Drew as well and never once complained (huzzah). Cannot gush enough about this tour and guide. read more

You will love this tour. It is really worth your time. Dana Smith was fantastic. Such knowledge and energy. He was a great story teller and had answers to all our questions. Actually learned so much. Our entire group from young to old enjoyed Dana and the tour. The walking isn't bad as you walk to some many places and then stop and talk and then walk so more. read more

Great way to spend the afternoon in beautiful downtown Boston! Ted is an excellent communicator and full of really interesting information. I highly recommend Hub Town Tours to present the fascinating history of such a great town (not city)! Matt Tietema Grand Rapids, MI read more

Cyrus Marion was an amazing tour guide on our Freedom Trail tour today!!! Highly recommended.

What a great tour and Kaitlin was so informative! This was my first ME trip to Boston and going on this Freedom Trail tour was eye opening and very informative - it set me up for the other 6 tours I also look of the various areas that she mentioned in the tour. The only thing that was tough was trying to find my car on the way back - as sometimes the phone signal didn't work in areas I was walking (likely because of the buildings). Otherwise, it was fabulous and I learned so much! read more

Such a great experience! My sister and I were doing a girls weekend away in Boston and we wanted to find a fun educational way to learn about the freedom trail. We aren't history buffs, so we didn't want anything too long. The tour we did was 2.5 hours which covered a specific timeframe of the Freedom Trail. Our tour guide was Maureen and she was awesome! She knows so much about the history of the city as well as gave great recommendations of places to go throughout Boston. I can't recommend this tour with Maureen enough. We learned so much about the city's history! read more
