Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Old State House, 206 Washington St, Boston, MA 02109-1702

Stop At: Post Office Square, Boston, MA, USA

The road to revolution runs right the heart of downtown Boston. While the core of this tour is built upon 12 of the 15 Freedom Trail locations a beautiful and booming modern city has grown up all around its historic foundation. Neither should be missed and we will not overlook the present in our pursuit of the past.

    I've done city tours all over the world and this is simply one of the best. Mike is knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly loves his subject matter. His education, paired with a chronological approach to the Revolution, brings everything to life.

    I am very delayed in writing this! We had the privilege of taking Mike’s tour in August 2021. It was fantastic. He is a great storyteller, and really knows his stuff. We had the unfortunate circumstance of it being a very hot day, but he foundshade for most stops and it was fine! We were there on a getaway, and I won’t hesitate to book again when our kids are old enough to enjoy the history of Boston!

    Mike clearly knows an incredible amount about the events leading up to & including the American Revolution. He was able to convey the information & bring the events & historical personages to life for all of us. The tour lasted a little over 3 1/2 hours & included a fair amount of walking, but it was all worth it. Mike's humor & enthusiasm for the subject made the time pass so quickly. If only American history had been presented in this way back when I was in school... :)

    We all have learned a skeletal version of what took place at the start of the American Revolution but Mike does a phenomenal job of filling in all of the relevant blanks--and he does it in an extremely entertaining way! What a fantastic 3.5 hour tour of the heart of Boston. So much history. So much intrigue. So much fun! A MUST SEE! I Highly recommend this tour.

    AMAZING!! I cannot recommend this enough. It's interesting to see the story in chronological order, as opposed to people rattling off dates at various locations. Mike tells the story with enthusiasm and humor. You can tell he really enjoys what he does. He makes great analogies (I've never heard anyone else compare The American Revolution to Star Wars or Lord of the Rings) and even comes prepared with visual aids. The history teacher in me was thrilled and had a fabulous time. It's worth every penny. PS: Listen to his food recommendations. He knows what he's talking about.

    Mike is not only an incredible tour guide, but he is also a very knowledgeable historian! (No need whatsoever for him to don a clichéd costume;-)) His enthusiasm for history came through in every revolutionary story and interesting facts he relayed to the small group. We appreciatd how he made history come to life!

    This tour was fantastic! Mike is very knowledgeable, enthusia and quite comedic as he relays a story we all know, but adds little known facts and introduces a few names you don’t know or can’t remember from previous history lessons. His enthusiasm about the subject was catching and everyone on the tour had a great time. He draws parallels from modern day movies and celebrities to give a frame of reference for how our founding fathers felt during the revolution and the birth of our country. He also gave roles of the founding fathers to group members to keep people invested in the story and he used visual aides to assist the presentation. This tour is a must do when visiting Boston!

    We liked the chronological approach. It tied everything together and helped everything make sense. Mike was able to walk backwards and project his voice over the noise of the city. He went out of his way to contact us via text, email, etc. We liked the smaller group size. He had the ability to bring the historical figures to life.

    Mike was exceptional and his passion for history is evident. It was a brief master class in the history of the American Revolution.
