Beyond Boston Freedom Trail: Private Half-Day Walking Tour
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Whether this is your first time in Boston or your fiftieth, this tour is the insider’s tour, which will take you through the heart of the city’s highlights, while also hitting several of the spots often missed on whistle-stop tours.
On your private tour, you will get to unpack this city’s rich history – from its pre-revolutionary roots through to the modern-day.
You’ll hear stories of locals whose names you’ve heard your entire life – like John Hancock and John Adams – and learn lesser-known stories of the minorities – immigrants, African-Americans, and women – who have been ever-present in the city’s history, making it the iconic city it is today.
A trip to Boston is incomplete without enjoying its spectacular local fare, and your private guide will recommend you to their favourite spot in case you want to have a taste of the classics: a lobster roll and fantastic cider, made from locally sourced apples (not included).

5.00Our guide was fantastic and knew so much about the city from the details of our tour to random questions we had. The tour is catered to your interests, and for our group which is worth it! We were not one of 40 people listening to someone in costume over a microphone huddling around a monument.
Great way to learn about Boston

5.00I did this tour mid June and it was so good and well thought out. I knew Boston had a lot of history and the way they planned the route and where they took you was great. Our guide Elisabeth was fun, knowledgeable and very passionate about Boston. This is a great way to spend a few hours learning about this great city.
