Central Location in Boston

Itinerary

  • Beacon Hill (Pass By)

    One of the most popular and well-known neighborhoods in all of Boston, this area is home to the glorious red-brick roads that illustrate the vast history of Boston. Our guide will talk about the development of this area whilst you take in its unique beauty.

  • Granary Burying Ground

    Originally part of Boston Common, this cemetery dates back to 1660. Along the way, you’ll pass by the final resting spot of famous Revolutionary heroes like John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Sam Adams.

    10 minutes

  • North End (Pass By)

    The neighborhood of Boston’s North End is not only known for its historic buildings – including Paul Revere’s home and Old North Church – but also its excellent Italian eateries and local cafes carrying locally roasted Beantown coffee.

  • Old North Church & Historic Site (Pass By)

    Built in 1723 and the oldest standing church building in Boston, Old North Church, a stop on your Freedom Trail tour segment, played an important role in the city’s colonial days leading up to the American Revolution.

  • Faneuil Hall Marketplace (Pass By)

    Originally built as a public market house and assembly room, this landmark has more recently served as a site of significant speeches and houses unique shops, chain stores, food stands, and more.

  • Freedom Trail (Pass By)

    You’ll be discovering the history of the United States at several locations along this famous trail in Boston with a knowledgeable local guide to bring history to life!

  • Old South Meeting House (Pass By)

    You can’t come to Boston and not mention the Boston Tea Party. This location, in-fact, a church is where it all began - one night in 1773, when it was the largest building in the city!

  • Massachusetts State House (Pass By)

    You’ll love seeing the glittering dome of the inspiring, historic, and beautiful Massachusetts State House, designed and built by famous federalist architect Charles Bulfinch in 1798. From the outside, take in the views of modern Boston, including the skyscrapers of Downtown, the Financial District, and the tallest building in New England: The John Hancock Tower.

  • Old Corner Bookstore (Pass By)

    Next we’ll pass by the site of the first bookstore in Boston, which has housed the publishers of Thoreau’s Walden, Hawthorne, and Longfellow - you may have heard of his famous tale: Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.

  • Old State House (Pass By)

    Moving into the heart of Downtown Boston, we stop in front of the Old State House and site of the Boston Massacre. The Old State House is one of the most iconic buildings in Boston - a Must See - and is also one of the oldest public buildings in the country. Our guide will educate you on its rich history and why it is so important today.

A Boston Must!

Published on Dec, 2024

Nabil was so personable, providing us with a tour full of knowledge and laughter. This was our second time to Boston. We continue to learn and simply love the history. Highly recommend!

Allen was fantastic!

Published on Nov, 2024

Allen was awesome! So knowledgeable! He did an outstanding job telling us the events that took place at each stop and made it into a very interesting story! He kept my kids involved by “quizzing” them with questions we talked about before and tied it into the story for our next stop. It was also very cold that day, and he was very cognizant of that, and we made stops inside some places so my wife and daughters could get warmed up a bit. You do a tour there, get Allen!

10 years in Boston and I still learned a ton of stuff

Published on Oct, 2024

Chantha was our tour guide and he was great. We have lived in Boston for over 10 years and were hosting family so we scheduled this walking tour and everyone had fun. Even though I’ve done several other tours already over the years, about 70% of what Chantha told us I never knew before. He made it really interesting and fun. He was also very accommodating for those in our group who needed multiple bathroom breaks. I would definitely request him if you can.

Walking Freedom Trail Tour with Allen

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour with Allen was exceptional and beyond our expectations!! Extremely knowledgeable about the history of Boston and surrounding areas!! His delivery and sense of humor added to the experience! If we ever came back we would ask for Allen!

Best Tour Guide in Boston

Published on Sep, 2024

Mr Larry Vale was a pleasure to be with on our Tour of Boston. This was a private Tour he gave for the two of us. We appreciated so much not only his wonderful knowledge of Revolutionary Boston but his quiet manner, cheerfulness and his most presentable, conservative attractive self. He never failed to be interesting and made sure our four hour tour covered a varied Boston history including a nearly never visited Faneuil fourth floor ceremonial military museum. We stopped off for a sampling of oysters at our country’s oldest and operating restaurant the Union House Oyster Bar and he could not have been more engaging and thorough. We HIGHLY recommend his good company!
