What a fabulous tour! Ben Edwards enthralled us with factual stories about Boston's historic sites, enriched by his personal collection of original period photographs, newspaper articles, autographs, and other documents. No other tour guide offers this level of depth and personal insights. Of course, no other tour includes Boston Cream Pie and Parker House Rolls at the Omni Parker House Hotel, where they originated, or lunch at one of the North End's finest Italian restaurants. These are just a sampling of the high value Ben brings to his tour. If you want to see Boston the way few tourists do, this is the tour for you!

Ben is incredibly knowledgeable and took us to so many interesting places, including some off the beaten path. He had a lot of cool documents to show us along the way. He is clearly very passionate about his work, and has done extensive research on Bostonian history. If you are looking for a tour that does a deep dive into history, Ben is your guy! This is a longer tour, so wear good walking shoes and check the weather beforehand.

We had a great tour with Ben Edwards! The tour was made more interesting by Ben’s special collection of rare documents dating from the 1700’s and his vast knowledge of the history of the Freedom Trail.

Ben was awesome! He had so many cool, original documents and artifacts that he showed us during the tour, it really made history come to life. He was so knowledgeable and kind and he answered all my weirdly specific historical questions. It was awesome :)

Informative, interesting, and a kind tour guide. A great tour for history enthusiasts looking to dive deep into the history of Boston and the Revolution. Lots of interesting artifacts. Great to be in a smaller tour group that could be personalized. A wealth of knowledge and information.
