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.

A Walk through History

5.00Our guide Tyler was amazing. He knew his history backwards and forward, and it was obvious he had a real passion for this subject. I learned so much about our country's history that I might have learned years ago in school, but had forgotten. It's a good walking tour, since the distances are fairly short, and the pace is easy.
Great fun…learned lots

5.00A 3+ hour walking tour, make sure you wear comfortable shoes! Mike was an excellent and knowledgable guide. Being English we’ve always largely avoided this piece of history 😂 but we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon
