This private car tour is comprehensive enough for any history buff, but as interesting in other ways for non history nerds. It's a unique combination of the Revolutionary War sites in Boston and Cambridge that you won't have seen. Then onto Lexington and Concord to see the towns where the "shot heard round the world" was fired. We'll take the same route as Paul Revere, stopping at the most significant, and lesser known sites along the way giving a detailed account of events in April 1775. For those less interested in the details of the battles, there's the option to visit the home of Louisa May Alcott or just take some time to enjoy the pretty main street of Concord. The itinerary gives the list of sites we'll visit, but timings are flexible to let us spend time at the places you're most interested in. We'll also stop for lunch (not included in price of tour) and there's plenty of photo opportunities.

Escape Boston for a full day along the southern Maine coast, blending scenic seaside walks, historic harbor towns, and iconic lighthouse views. Begin at Marginal Way in Ogunquit, a cliffside coastal path that winds along the Atlantic with uninterrupted ocean views and classic New England scenery. Continue to Kennebunkport, a postcard-perfect harbor town known for its historic homes, local boutiques, and working waterfront. Arrive in Portland in time for lunch in the Old Port district, where cobblestone streets, 19th-century brick buildings, and fishing piers set the scene for some of Maine's best seafood — this is the spot to try fresh, locally caught lobster on your own. Finish at Portland Head Light, Maine's oldest and most iconic lighthouse, perched dramatically above the rocky shoreline within Fort Williams Park, with sweeping Atlantic views to close out the day.

What are people saying about Boston

Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour

John_H, Oct 2026

An optimized version of the Freedom Trail

I call it the optimized Freedom Trail walking tour. Despite my personal touch to the title, the tour was exceptional. I walked away from this tour with more historical facts than the media could ever concisely fit into a movie; the on-site experience is truly necessary to comprehend the magnitude of the events that took place in Boston as the country was being born. Sven did an excellent job of strategically optimizing the Freedom Trail to safely navigate the busy streets of downtown Boston with a sizable group. He really knew his stuff. The details he stitched together as we progressively visited each Freedom Trail landmark added a welcoming structure to an otherwise complicated story about why America's first steps started in Boston.

Boston Duck Boat Sightseeing City Tour with Cruise

Jane_W, Oct 2026

Worth every penny!

Just a brilliant way to get an idea of Boston and its history from both land and water. Great fun - we loved it. Our ‘captain - Splishy’ was both funny and informative dressed in his sparkly helmet and waistcoat. He also engaged well with his customers. Worth doing in pur opinion!

Boston’s Politically Incorrect North End Food Tour

Cayleigh_B, Oct 2026

10/10 tour! Anthony was...

10/10 tour! Anthony was the BEST. He was funny, straightforward, extremely informative. His knowledge about this neighborhood made this tour perfect. We left full and educated about the history of the North End, and he gave us so many recommendations for more places to check out. I would definitely do this tour again!

Boston North End Food Tour with Authentic Local Flavors & Dishes

Debbie_K, Oct 2026

A Tasty Tour!

We were fortunate to have Gabe all to ourselves for this tour! We loved all the food stops (the cannolis were excellent!) but we enjoyed the conversation with Gabe most of all. Excellent discussions on history, architecture & food and we learned so much about Boston. All the stops were in a concentrated area with plenty of bathroom availability:) so I would say this would also be doable in the winter. Thanks Gabe for a wonderful tour!

Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Admission

LORENE_K, Oct 2026

An Unforgettable Experience; You Must Do It!

Be ready to be part of this version of the Boston Tea Party. My granddaughter loved the whole experience. From the town meeting where we stomped our boots on the ground and cheered "Here, Here", Huzzah! and Hissed or gave a Fie when we were not pleased. The video was quite informative as were the actors/players. This was the best adventure my granddaughter experienced, especially when she got to throw the tea overboard. Twice; she took my turn. She was the happiest I have seen her. She truly enjoyed her time there and wants everyone to know she highly recommends this attraction for all ages. I was so happy watching her laugh, smile, and enjoying it all. Thank you to all those who made this adventure possible.

Boston to Martha's Vineyard Day Trip with Optional Island Tour

ANTHONY_J, Oct 2026

Jackson's Awsome Tour To Martha's Vineyard

First started with Johnny Boston XIV. He was punctual with water and treats. He was entertaining, knowledgeable about Boston's history and a good driver. He allowed us rest room breaks throughout the tour where we could get coffee/snacks. Tom's guided life long resident knowledge was great. Tom's gave us a history lesson and we toured the entire island. Thanks Johnny Boston XIV, Tom, Viator for a tour my wife and I thouroughly enjoyed.

Jayne_H, Oct 2026

Revolutionary War Tour-Rob Rocks!

Rob was extremely knowledgeable about Boston history…and not simply the Revolutionary War era! He was accommodating (we were late due to one of us needing a scooter for her broken foot), friendly and funny. Rob genuinely made us feel as though we were in the moment!!

City Cruises Boston Whale Watching Cruise by High-Speed Boat

Sherri_H, Oct 2026

Great experience!

The captain of our whale watching tour stayed out a little longer than anticipated because of all of the great whale activity we were seeing. She took special care as to not disrupt the whales', especially when we were in the "whale soup!" The naturalists were knowledgeable and about as amazed as we all were when we saw 2 whales breech!

Tour of Historic Fenway Park, America's Most Beloved Ballpark

Kelly_J, Oct 2026

Fenway Park Experience

The tour of Fenway was great! Our tour guide, George was amazing! He made the tour so interesting and fun. He has so many great stories, and has incredible historic knowledge. The best part is getting to sit in the outfield atop the Green Monster(Monsta). I would highly recommend this tour!

Boston Ghosts and Gravestones Trolley Tour

Breeann_V, Oct 2026

A little worried it would be "too much"

Overall great experience. At first I was a little concerned I had booked something a touch too theatrical and would become annoyed 😆. But our guide Anthrax (? Demon) I believe was great he used just enough drama to be entertaining but stopped short of me wanting to toss myself out of the trolley. Really great way to see several burial grounds throughout the city and hear some new spooky tales. 👻

Historic Boston HOP-ON/HOP-OFF Narrated Trolley Tour

Tim_B, Sept 2026

Tim and Jean from North Dakota

It was really easy the routes were great it is the best way to see the historic sites of Boston without having to drive. Very reasonable prices, my wife and I had a great time. We had Joey for a driver on multiple occasions and he was the greatest person and very knowledgeable. Give 10 stars to our man Joey.
