Winner of Boston Magazine's Best Historical Walking Tour.

A small group, in-depth exploration of Boson's original neighborhoods and a complete retelling of the American Revolution from the founding of Boston to the Declaration of Independence. Unlike most tours which limit themselves exclusively to what's on the Freedom Trail (in whichever order and direction it happens to go) this tour takes a wholistic approach to the city and the story. We follow a curated route visiting 14 iconic landmarks in the same order the history unfolded, pulling everything together into an immersive citywide narrative that recreates the drama and brings to life the passions personalities, and psychologies that invented America.

There are no big crowds or cheesy costumes. This tour combines expert insights with a light-hearted sense of humor and expands beyond "just" the Freedom Trail so you will enjoy the charm of the old town while getting a real sense of the beautiful and booming modern city as well.

This tour was absolutely fantastic. You can hear the passion when he explained certain events that happened. We all grew up taking American history but the way that our guide painted a picture for us, you could really feel the history. It was a very cold and windy day here in December and he made every effort to try to keep us warm by either dipping into a building or talking in the sun and staying out of the shade areas. Once again, absolutely fantastic tour it would recommend to anyone.
Amazing tour
