I'm always interested in learning more about my community, and the tour I took with Live Like a Local was a great way to do so. We went from Beacon Hill to Roxbury in a spacious van (shoutout to Platinum Transportation), stopping along the way to hear about local ties to abolitionists, jazz greats, medical history, and Civil Rights leaders. I learned names and places that didn't show up in my high school history books, but definitely should have. Collin also made sure we were fed our bellies as well as our minds with ample snacks including tasty sambusas. Definitely recommend Live Like a Local to visitors and locals alike!

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of Roxbury with Live Like a Local Tour guide Collin. I have been on many traditional city tours but really liked seeing the historical prospective and revitalization initiatives from the point of view of Collin who grew up and still currently lives in the neighborhood. Collin retold the history and accomplishments of people we don't typically (or ever) hear about. I have driven through that neighborhood hundreds of times without realizing it's importance. Collin was extremely dynamic and engaging and I highly recommend this tour for both those visiting Boston or those who live here and want a different point of view.

A truly memorable way to experience Boston! I joined Collin for a tour of Nubian Square and Roxbury with my family and friends, and I walked away with a much deeper appreciation for a part of the city I thought I knew.Having grown up in Boston, I was surprised by how much I learned. Collin brings the history of Roxbury to life while also highlighting the people, local businesses, and community that continue to shape the neighborhood. His passion for Roxbury is obvious, and his commitment to preserving its history while supporting its future makes the experience especially meaningful.If you're visiting Boston and want to get beyond the typical tourist attractions and experience the city from a local perspective, I highly recommend taking a tour with Live Like A Local.

I enjoyed the vibrant and nuanced history of Roxbury and Nubian Square. Colin’s warmth and dynamic presentation brought the art, the physical spaces and the dynamic personalities to life. We heard about pioneering and present-day entrepreneurs, artists, dreamers and doers. He creates a friendly atmosphere for the tour-goers to come together, and neighborhood people to say hello. As a senior citizen, I appreciated his microphone, and the walking was not challenging. We even stopped for snacks and a bathroom break.

My first tour with live like a local was incredible. I highly recommend them. There were so many activities and I even made new friends. Thank you to everyone that curated the event.
