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. Your guide, Mark, is highly experienced guide and will share the story of the origin of the American Revolution, plus 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 Mark will tell the story of the people and events that propelled Colonists to war with the most powerful nation in the world.

The 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.

My tour was 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. 2024 is in the book now… with more than 1700 guests this year and hundreds of new five-star reviews. Care to join me in 2025? Book early! Groups are small and most of them sell out weeks in advance.

Walk & Talk Boston has earned the Viator/TripAdvisor Badge of Excellence. So, yes, I’m the new tour in town, but no one has better reviews! Just look!

				Best tour(guide) by far anywhere. You’ll regret touring elsewhere once you tour with Mark. Not to mention this is the only tour that touches every stop on the Freedom Trail and he adds extra stops that he believes should be on the trail but are not. Strongly recommended!

				My 1st time in Boston, and I was hoping to get as much sightseeing and history in as possible. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, perfect pace with scheduled bathroom breaks too.

				This was our first trip to Boston so of course we wanted to walk the Freedom Trail. Mark provided our family an excellent tour with many interesting details and little known facts about the people and places at the heart of the birth of our nation. It’s amazing that so many buildings and battle sites still exist today. It’s a full four hours of walking and story telling with rest stops along the trail and well worth taking the time to experience this highly informative tour.

				Our tour guide Mark was absolutely incredible. He didn’t buy in to the gimmicks that you see with other freedom trail tours in town. His knowledge of revolutionary Boston history is unmatched and he weaves a story along the trail that was incredibly easy to digest. The entire tour took four hours, but honestly it was so densely packed with stories and sights that we barely noticed!  I can’t speak highly enough about Mark. We had forgotten to grab water before heading out for the tour, and the first thing Mark did was grab a few waters out of his pack for us! He is prepared, kind, and extremely knowledgeable! We found ourselves continuing to chat with him after the tour and he was still full of information to share with us.  Long story short: if you are a history buff and want to say you walked the entire freedom trail then TAKE THIS TOUR! You will not regret your decision.

				Mark is an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge about the city's rich history!  We enjoyed every step of this tour and would highly recommend Mark's tour.  My daughters and I only wish we could retain 1/3 of the information that was presented.  You will never be bored with Mark as your tour guide!  Five STARS!!

				Day two in Boston and so glad that I booked the Entire Freedom Trail tour with Mark! The groups are small and therefore make it really easy to ask questions and get around all the other large groups. You can tell that Mark is very knowledgeable and has a passion in educating us with our history. Four hours may sound like a long tour but I felt that it was at a very comfortable pace. We explored the entire Freedom Trail (tour name.. duh) but you can tell that Mark has so much more to share in the tour than the time allows.  Book this tour and bring water and snacks! You won't regret it.  The final stop is at the USS Constitution, so you can catch the Old Trolley Hop On and Off once you're done exploring. That's what I did!

				One of the best tours I've been on, hands down. Getting to visit everything on the Freedom Trail and with a clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, I could not ask for more. Cannot recommend more highly.

				Taking the Walk &Talk with Mark is like better than reading a history book, it is exceptional. It is obvious that Mark has researched and read many books to provide such detailed facts and insight of the historic figures we all think we know of our American history. I highly recommend this tour- and be prepared to walk.
