    From Faneuil Hall, you’ll be able to see Custom House Tower, the first skyscraper built in the city of Boston and originally the location where incoming goods were stored upon arrival to Boston.
  • Old South Meeting House, Boston, Massachusetts, United States
    You can’t come to Boston and not mention the Boston Tea Party. While at this stop, which was originally a church, your guide will fill you in on all that led up to the infamous event. Learn who said “No taxation without representation!” and how Bostonians planned their act of rebellion in 1773.
    5 minutes
  • Old Corner Bookstore, Boston, Massachusetts, United States
    Next we’ll pass by the site of the first bookstore in Boston, which has housed the publishers of Thoreau’s Walden, Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, and Longfellow - you may have heard of his famous tale: Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.
  • Old City Hall, Boston, Massachusetts, United States
    This hall was home to the city council in the 19th and 20th century, as well as the site of the first public school in America. You’ll also marvel at its breathtaking French architecture and be able to snap a photo with the famed Bronze Donkey.
    10 minutes
  • King's Chapel, Boston, Massachusetts, United States
    A short trek through Downtown Crossing and past the Old City Hall takes you to one of the most historic places in the country – King’s Chapel, the first Anglican church in New England. Your guide will teach you about its history and its progression through the centuries. If we're lucky, we could hear the organist practicing on the oldest church organ in the US.
  • Old State House, Boston, Massachusetts, United States
    Moving into the heart of Downtown Boston, we stop in front of the Old State House. This is where the Declaration of Independence was announced to elated crowds in July 1776 - your guide will paint quite the picture for you of that exciting time in Boston. On the flip side, you’ll also hear about the tragic Boston Massacre that occurred here and what led up to that fateful day.

  • Beacon Hill, Boston, MA, USA
    One of the most popular and well-known neighborhoods in all of Boston, this area wasn’t always as attractive as it is today. You’ll peek down the cobbled streets as your guide shares the fascinating history of this area - how sailors and British soldiers in the 17th and 18th centuries actually decreased its favor for local residents and how it became the iconic and aspirational neighborhood it is today.
  • Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial, Boston, Massachusetts, United States
    A lesser-known memorial, but one of great interest and significance. This memorial commemorates one of the first African American regiments in the Civil War and their colonel Robert Gould Shaw.
  • Massachusetts State House, Boston, Massachusetts, United States
    You’ll love seeing the glittering dome of the inspiring, historic, and beautiful Massachusetts State House. You may have heard of the original landowner for this site, John Hancock, and the man who presided over the cornerstone ceremony for the building in 1795, Paul Revere. Your guide will be sure to fill you in on how this building has lasted over the years and continues to be an integral part of the state’s government.
    10 minutes
  • Boston Public Garden, Boston, Massachusetts, United States
    This garden is full of life with residents of modern Boston enjoying it for walks, exercise, fun, or just a peaceful moment. But as you walk through this picturesque park (the first public park in America), you’ll really be able to get a sense of how the land was used by Bostonians (and even British soldiers) throughout the revolution-era and since then as well. Your tour will end here - in the perfect central location for you to continue your day in Boston.
    15 minutes
  • Tremont St, Boston, MA 02108, USA
    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.

I took the tour on Apr. 19th. Our guide Nabil is such fun, caring, informative, and engaging! He has all kinds of funny, moving, ironic stories about Boston history. The walking is a bit long but every moment is worthwhile. Highly recommend.

Miz was an excellent tour guide. This person was a history teacher. What a bonus….someone with a true love of history. We were filled in on all sorts of interesting factoids about the city of Boston. I’ve been here many times and was so happy to get so much more info about places I’d been and seen but never really understood the back story.
