Jim was fantastic, it was a smaller group so we had an easy time hearing everything. Walking tour was well broken up for times to take a small break. I would recommend this if you are in for a weekend trip. You see a lot in a short time frame.

What happens on the day
Boston is famous for its history and its food—and now, you can experience the best of both worlds!
Join your local guide, who will take you on a flavor-filled journey to the best bakeries, bistros, and cafes in town. Sample incredible dishes like freshly baked artisanal bread, zesty pizza, sweet pastries, and comforting cappuccinos.
Then, step back in time and follow in the footsteps of America's Founding Fathers. With your guide leading the way, you'll walk through the city's most historic neighborhoods and learn about the real-life characters you’ve only read about in history books. (You’ll be amazed what those schoolbooks didn’t tell you!)
Uncover the drama of the Boston Massacre and the bold rebellion of the Boston Tea Party as you visit iconic sites on and off the Freedom Trail. Explore landmarks like Boston Harbor, the Rose Kennedy Greenway, Faneuil Hall, the Old State House, Old City Hall, the Boston Public Garden, and much more.

Response from Virgin Gifts
Hey Joel! Thanks so much for the glowing review! We agree, it's a great way to see the city! I'll be sure to pass your praise along to our partners! Cheers, Jake.
Firstly, the tour was extremely good and would highly recommend. However Virgin Experiences let us down by giving us the wrong location for the meeting point. This was frustrating as we arrived early and waited for 30 mins. We had to contact tour company directly who advised that location we were at had not been the meeting point for a very long time. As a result we missed the start of tour at no fault of own. Virgin experiences need to keep up to date info on their vendors to avoid mishaps like this and to ensure customer has a positive experience from the outset.
