Private, secure and perfect room setup. - This is a great set up. We took the two rooms upstairs. We had a separate secure entrance from the room downstairs. My grandson was across the hall and we had the other. Spotless and very welcoming with baths and small refrigerators in each room, plus a table and chairs for in the room breakfast. Towel set up with one black set and one white was perfect so my daughter and I easily kept our towels separate. The common area was great for UNO at night! We hope to be back for the national indoor track meet next year. Thank you!

Truly a Great Experience - Linn is wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Boston and all that surrounded the American Revolution. This was a highlight of our trip and my friend said she covered everything she had wanted to know during our short stay here. Not a minute was wasted with Linn and we were grateful to have her. When we were a little lost and running late to meet up she even called to check on us, which was incredibly kind. Thank you for everything Linn! Cheers!

Very good walking tour of the freedom trail - A good overview of Boston revolutionary history, and a good way to ground yourself in the main downtown areas of Boston. Rosalie was very knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting and lively. And I got my 10000 steps in - ha.

Great tour! - Very interesting! Well worth it and Thankful we did it at the beginning of our trip. It was a great intro to the historic spots and great recommendations for how to experience other spots more in depth. Tracy was our tour guide and we didn't feel like we were getting a standard spiel. She was more like a story teller and she brought her deep knowledge of history out in an interesting format. It was March and COLD! Be prepared for being outside for over 2 hours so that the weather isn't distracting and you can really enjoy the experience.

Great historical tour - even for those not from US - Miles was our guide and he did a great job of giving the history that originated from Boston. Even though I’m not from the US their were a lot of names form history that I was able to piece together. Miles was good at explaining everything which was really appreciated.
