Marco was great! Tour was a lot of fun! I would definitely recommend for any first timers to Boston! Easy to find the meet up spot and the end of the tour left us close to local restaurants.

Explore Boston’s Revolutionary sites on an epic land and sea tour! Walk along the Freedom Trail sites that tell the story of events leading up to the start of the American Revolution. See the Boston Massacre Site, Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, Blackstone Block, and Paul Revere's House. Then take a short break at the Old North Church! Go inside the church (entry included), browse for souvenirs, grab a snack. After the break, enjoy a private boat ride on Boston Harbor to continue the story of the American Revolution. Learn about the Battle of Bunker Hill and see the USS Constitution up close from the water. Follow Paul Revere's route out of Boston to start his Midnight Ride! Float up close and personal to the Boston Tea Party replica ships! Enjoy stunning views of the Boston skyline on the return trip to Long Wharf where the tour ends. Take advantage of the chance to chat with the boat captain while watching airplanes take off from the Logan airport and fly right above your head!
