Kelly gave us an amazing tour of Boston!! She is an accomplished historian but also made the whole story of Boston and the revolution come to life for us! Took us to see many buildings and smaller artifacts we wouldn’t have noticed without her expertise sprawled throughout the city. The pubs she took us to were perfect, and we loved every cider and pint we tried. 10/10 would take this tour again and can’t recommend more highly!! Book this tour!!

The tour itself was interesting and fun, but it was our tour guide, Brooke, who really made the experience wonderful. She was so full of knowledge and energy, and obviously loves what she does. We were so impressed that she remembered everyone’s first names, where they were from, and referenced back to something a tour member had said earlier. We would recommend this tour to anyone, and definetly if you get Brooke as your tour guide.

Our tour guide, Brian, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about everything he told us about. Not only did we learn a lot about the history of the city, but we got to have some drinks along the way! We were even offered some beer that’s only exclusive to certain places. This tour was worth every penny. The groups are kept below 12 people (our group was only 4 people), so it’s really intimate and personable. I definitely recommend this tour! Huzzah!

Brooke was an amazing guide! How she remembers everyone’s name is impressive and provided great recommendations for the beer!

This was the second time we did the tour but took family that hadn't taken the tour before. Brooke is excellent and would highly recommend it to anyone that likes history and Beer! My daughter enjoyed it so much she is taking a friend who is coming to visit her in Boston.

Brooke was such a phenomenal guide. I have never learned more and been as engaged as we were with her. If you’re in the Boston area this is an ABSOLUTE must! You will learn so much in an absolutely fun and creative way. As a guide, Brooke was insanely knowledgeable, fun, passionate, etc. But, what set her apart from everyone else is the fact that you could hear her excitement and enthusiasm for the history. Which, made us really excited about it as well!!
