Outdoor Escape Room Boston Beacon Hill

Boston’s revolutionary spirit didn’t emerge overnight. It was forged through years of defiance, from merchants smuggling wine, to ropewalkers brawling with British soldiers. On this walking tour, you’ll find out how everyday acts of resistance transformed colonial Boston into the birthplace of the American revolution. You’ll also uncover the gritty reality behind the propaganda and myths taught in textbooks. The tour starts at Long Wharf, once the longest in the Western Hemisphere, where 4,000 British troops landed in 1768 to discipline a rebellious city. You’ll walk through the North End, past John Hancock’s counting house where nervous redcoats fumbled musket balls. Along the way, you’ll hear how Hancock beat smuggling charges, and discover why Puritans refused to name their horses.

What are people saying about Boston

Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour

Lindie_H, Oct 2026

Boston tour with Dana

Dana was an amazing guide who loved talking about Boston history. He interacted with the group and loved answering questions. He was a former history teacher so offered alot of valuable information on the tour. The small group atmosphere was wonderful and we were able to see everything we wanted to see on the tour.

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

Carlos_S, Oct 2026

Batter up!!!

Not being a big baseball fan, this was completely worth it. Fun and informative, really awesome to walk around such a historic venue and learn about the team and city around it!!! Our guide was super enthusiastic and knowledgeable, recommend 100% and may even follow more baseball now…

Boston Ghosts and Gravestones Trolley Tour

Rebeca_U, Oct 2026

Fantastic ride through the city!

Fantastic ride through the city. Anthraxicon (our guide) was very knowledgeable, and Dottie in the graveyards made the trip especially memorable. For those who didn’t see in the description of the trolley ride, there are two walking excursions through two burying grounds after dark. That being said, it was wonderful to be able to see these sites without all the crowds.

Boston’s Politically Incorrect North End Food Tour

Rebeca_U, Oct 2026

Flash, Flash, 100 yard dash

This tour is mandatory if you want to see a more authentic side of the North End. Led by a local, he takes you through multiple food spots and gives some of the history in the area. You can see plenty of tours about the historical side of Boston, but none of those will feed you Lemon Italian Slush while swearing at the man behind the counter (and the man behind the counter immediately singing the guides graces). 10/10, make this a priority stop on your stay.

Boston North End Food Tour with Authentic Local Flavors & Dishes

Jan_S, Oct 2026

Elizabeth was a fantastic...

Elizabeth was a fantastic guide for our family of 4. She made the food and history approachable for all ages. The kids loved meeting Chef Bob and holding the lobsters. We all had different favorite stall at Boston Public Market and the pizza and cannoli in the north end were all around hits. Elizabeth was great at knowing when the kids were ready to head to the next stop and when they needed a walking break. She also found scenic spots for us to enjoy our bites.

Boston Duck Boat Sightseeing City Tour with Cruise

BruceSilverman1gmail, Sept 2026

Quack Quack Quack - Great Duckboat tour.

Boston’s Duckboat cruise is informative, inclusive and lots and lots of fun. Then land portion includes (be quick!) opportunities for photos of iconic buildings, the USS Constitution (“Old Ironsides”), ancient streets and monuments. The highlight, though, is when the vehicle enters the river. The views from the river surface are great, and you may even be given the opportunity to steer the boat! A live narrator points out the key sites, while explaining the origin of the American Revolution, which began in Boston. Our narrator was also very funny! We began and ended our 80-minute tour at the Aquarium location, which proved to be easy to get to from our cruise ship. We highly recommend it!

Historic Boston Hop-On Hop-Off Narrated Trolley Tour

Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Admission

Sharon_A, Sept 2026

Fun and History in Boston Harbor

My husband and I visited after seeing a video by the Battlefield Trust on things to see in Boston. I thought it was going to be kind of tacky but actually it was very informative while being fun. I loved participating in the meeting at the Old South Meeting House, where we aired our grievances before heading for the ship to dump the tea. The museum was also very interesting. We didn’t sample the fare at the tea shop but it sure looked good. Lots of cool merchandise in the shop, too.

City Cruises Boston Whale Watching Cruise by High-Speed Boat

Erica_D, Sept 2026

Highlight of our trip!

I've got nothing but good things to say about this tour. Hands down, it's one of the coolest things I've ever been a part of - and that is factoring in a fairly abnormal voyage that we were on. Our tour had to swap out boats so we had a bit of a delayed start, but the crew of the boat were so nice about it and got us underway as quickly as possible. Then the swells we encountered were much higher than the readings indicated and we were forced to turn around before getting out to our intended destination. The crew handled the unexpected problem with ease and decisiveness, promising that everyone would be getting a refund, no questions asked, since we didn't make it to our intended whale-watching site. Then our trip took a turn. Nearly as soon as we changed our heading, a minke whale showed up and swam around us for quite a while, coming right up to the side of the ship and even performing a few barrel rolls to show off. The "shooting star of the sea" is a fitting nickname for this creature. It was so much fun to watch! A few minutes later, a pair of humpback whales turned up as well and we got to witness them do some incredible fluking dives. I was literally choked up watching such mighty and majestic animals in their natural habitat. The company still insisted on issuing everyone on board a refund for the trip being cut short even though we ended up getting quite the show. I donated it right back to the New England Aquarium as the experience more than lived up to expectation for us. Most importantly, through it all, the naturalist on board, Briana, was simply perfect. She was so sweet and friendly as she walked around the ship, stopping to talk to every single group aboard multiple times. She was a wealth of knowledge as she narrated our voyage and helped us all to see and appreciate the whales that we encountered. She is clearly so passionate about the animals and she was a joy to listen to. All in all, my family adored this tour, despite the chaos. The ship was clean and well cared-for. The crew was wonderful and courteous, Briana was an angel, and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone in the area. Our trip to Boston would not have been complete without this whale tour. Thank you so much for a great time.

City Cruises Boston 90-Minute Harbor Sunset Sightseeing Cruise

Caitlin_A, Sept 2026

Kevin, the Best Tour Guide for the Best Tour

Okay if you go on this cruise and you have Kevin as your guide then you're in luck! Kevin was the most amazing guide that told us many things about Boston's history as we sailed around the harbor. We even got 2 loops in! Kevin has the perfect tour guide voice to clearly tell you all the interesting facts and to answer any question. He's very knowledgeable about not only the overarching history of Boston but also about the architectural history as well! My friends and I all agree that this was the best tour we were on during our trip. The views were also spectacular as we saw Boston highlighted at sunset from the sea. If you do go on this cruise in late summer/early fall then I recommend bringing a jacket since it gets chilly once the sun goes down. I would take this tour again and again if I could!

City Cruises Boston Historic Sightseeing Harbor Cruise

Jeffrey_N, Sept 2026

Good tour and great narration

My friends and I really enjoyed the hour tour on the Boston harbor. The guide provided good information and was entertaining. The speaker system was very good and his narration could be heard on all levels. The Ciry Tour company also thought about positioning of the chairs so that the guide was always talking about things directly forward.
