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 was an exceptional tour. Tom did a really great job and held everyone’s attention throughout the tour. The stories about each of the main characters leading to the American Revolution were captivating and we all left feeling like we knew more than we did when we started. Moreover. Because they were told within the context of stories, I think we will all remember them!
Informative and Entertaining
