Sully did a good job showing us Long Wharf, old City Hall, and other Revolutionary War sites. He earned points with our group by hosting us to coffee on a cold day.

Sully was a great tour guide. We went in the middle of the rain and he did his best to entertain and provide details while all of us, including two kids, were getting soaked.

The guide was not very knowledgeable. She was stating the facts that can be read in any book or google. The information on the history was very limited.

This was a truly magnificent tour! Bob was great--knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. We learned a lot, and had a wonderful time. The best part of the tour (though it is difficult to choose) was seeing the State House, and getting to go onto the Governor's Balcony--very cool!

Fun, Frigid walking tour of Boston
Leonore_W

We really enjoyed the walk with John. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and pleasant in spite of the cold breeze we endured. It would have been nice to pop indoors more frequently to thaw out and we felt it very odd that the tour ended over a mile from our starting point where we had left our vehicle.
