Enjoyable tour, learned a lot
Mark_C

Loved having a smaller group for this tour! Our Guide was very knowledgeable and clearly shared the information with us (you could tell she was a school teacher :)) She was helpful with recommendations for later in our day also. Saw all of the important stops and took time for pictures. Definitely would recommend!

We had a wonderful Freedom Trail tour. Our guide, Nick, presented the Freedom Trail in an engaging narrative story-telling format which brought all the sites to life. The tour was well designed and kept a good pace and we learned more than we would with a different service. Thanks so much!

Our Guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job in presenting a story line rather than just showing us the sites. The only negative is the tour which was already 2.5 hours went 20 minutes over. For us we missed the next tour as we ran out of time to get there. I felt we got our moneys worth.

Perfect tour! Matthew made this 2.5 hours visit SO interesting and included many fun facts. There are 4 spots where we could seat while listening which was great because it was SO hot and humid. When we looked for tours our main criteria was small group (15 people max) and we are so glad we chose Hub Town Tours. We learned so much.

Come prepared to listen, learn and WALK. If you do, you will certainly love the tour. Great meal possible at the end!

Nick was an excellent tour guide, incredibly knowledgeable and told a great story. Come prepared to walk, listen and stand for extended periods of time. Excellent content and thorough. We had an incredibly hot August day, but we did it!! Ending in the North End on Saturday night was a total bonus! Excellent meal right after (not included, of course). Proud that we completed the Freedom Trail and we felt we got the best tour!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
American history with Nick followed by an Italian feast is a hard combination to beat in Boston! Our 2.5-hour tour is definitely lengthier than most walking tours in town, but we feel the history demands it. And somehow, smelling those waves of garlic and olive oil in the North End make the last stretch of the stroll much easier! Thanks for choosing our small tour business, Catherine—we love hearing how much fun you had exploring Boston with Hub Town Tours.

A History Above And Beyond Expectations

A great tour! Our tour guide Matthew was extremely knowledgeable and gracious. No script, would tell more about Boston while we were walking to our next destination. All this while navigating the busy (insane) streets of Boston!. Top notch-- would highly recommend!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Tour guiding in Boston requires more than just knowledge of history, but some street smarts, too. Matthew has years of experience as a guide through Boston, and we're glad you noticed his historical AND navigational skills, Roy!
Please note, we NEVER ask staff to memorize scripts. Instead, every member of our team composes an original narrative of Revolutionary Boston and the Freedom Trail. This way, you can be sure your guide isn't simply parroting a script and is always ready to engage with questions, too. We aim to be the top-quality history experience in town!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
