Walk & Talk Boston - Walk & Talk Boston Walking Tours

Huzzah! Welcome to Boston’s Top Walking Tour!

Walk & Talk Boston’s tour of The Complete Freedom Trail is designed to be unique, fun and informative. You will always be led by a highly experienced guide who can not only share the story of the origin of the American Revolution, but expand and explore new subjects when you want to ask questions that are not part of the tour. The Freedom Trail connects sixteen historic locations in Boston, and your guide will tell the story of the people and events that propelled Colonists to war with the most powerful nation in the world.

My Complete Freedom Trail tour is the most highly rated tour that visits Bunker Hill and the USS Constitution!

My tours are not: Crowded! (I set a maximum of 16 guests.) Not costumed! I never thought wearing period clothing enhanced the narrative. I do not tell bad jokes. You might get a laugh here and there, but never at the expense of the men and women who built our city and nation.

My tours are: focused on making every tour the “best ever” and a highlight of your time in Boston.

We were brand new in 2022! I had a wonderful inaugural first season and fantastic year in 2023 with many sold-out tours and 1400 guest from around the US and the world. I can’t wait for Spring 2024 to hit the streets again with you, my curious and enthusiastic visitors!

Check out the About page for more. And then check out the Complete Freedon Trail tour!

Big News! (Well, big for me!) My little company earned the Viator/TripAdvisor Badge of Excellence. So, yes, I’m the new tour in town, but no one has better reviews! Just look!

Welcome! You've found Boston’s best Freedom Trail tour!

Did you know this is the only tour that actually visits all stops on the Freedom Trail?

				Our guide, Mark, was FANTASTIC! We will recommend him and his tour to anyone who tells us they're going to Boston. He was informational, yet engaging. We did the 4-hour long Freedom Trail tour combined with Bunker Hill and the U.S.S. Constitution. We were never bored and Mark had the entire group engaged the entire time. Excellent!

				Such a detailed and thorough tour! One of the few that visits all 16 sites of the Freedom Trail! Mark is extremely knowledgeable. He has almost a decade of tour experience and I would absolutely take a tour with him again. Remember to take snacks, water, and good walking shoes!!

				Without a doubt or exception, THE BEST guided tour I have ever gone on. Mark was superb.  It wasn't just that he knew a script (he had none), he knew the subject(s).  And not just in a dis-jointed, every-stop-a-standalone-story way.  He wove a living narrative consisting of all the characters and events and locations involved.  At Stop B he would hint about how Stop D would tie in.  At Stop E he would remind us of what Stop C was about.  He gave depth to people and events for whom most of us have a fuzzy superficial elementary-school-level picture.

				Interesting and enjoyable! The tour was informative as well as fun. Mark was an excellent guide and his passion for the history of the events leading up to the American Revolution was evident. I was amazed how quickly the four hours went by! Also, Mark was easy to hear and a great speaker.

				Mark gave us a tour that covered everything. Mark was very interesting.  He has his tour laid out in such a way that the history he told was sequential for the most part.  He mostly pointed out places connected to our battle of independence, but he also discussed a few things that are associated with the was between the states.  I liked the fact that I don't think he missed anything.  Even though the tour was 4 hours long, it didn't feel like it.  We took breaks and there were pavilions with seat along the way where we sat while he taught us about the current surroundings.  It was a great tour and Mark was very watchful for our safety.

				Do Not Miss This Tour! This was by far one of the best tours I have ever been on. Mark was so knowledgable in the history and informative. If you want a tour that doesn't have the cheesy scripted actors this is the tour for you. He was so good at answering questions and keeping the history interesting. I would recommend this tour to anyone planning to visit Boston. The other really nice thing was right up front Mark said I do not want you to tip at the end, you have already paid for this tour so there is no need.

				Fun in learning, a great deal Tour on 10/13/23. My partner was reluctant, hadn’t done something like this before, but felt this was the most enjoyable day of our leaf-peeping trip. Mark was excellent, informative, interactive, and super knowledgeable. Such an important piece of American history, and a great deal for 4 hours. Recommend good walking shoes, some water & snacks, rain gear if forecasted. The last hour is a walk to Bunker Hill and Ole Ironsides battleship, very worthwhile. From there, treat yourself to the water ferry back to downtown Boston.
