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.

The Full Revolutionary Story Epic Small-Group Boston Walking Tour

Richard_M, Oct 2026

Not just the Freedom Trail

This tour does not slavishly follow the Freedom Trail but rather follows the chronological lead up to the start of the revolution and the Battle of Bunker Hill. This Australian’s paucity of knowledge about these historical events was greatly enhanced by Chris, our extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entering guide. Throughly recommend this tour.

Boston: Freedom Trail History Small Group Walking Tour

Marcos_Z, Oct 2026

Freedom Trail Tour

The amount of walking is not as long as one would think given the length of the tour so do not let that be a deterrent. Our guide was friendly and informative and handled our tour very well including someone who tried to stick to us about half way through. heartily recommend the tour.

Boston Duck Boat Sightseeing City Tour with Cruise

Nellisha_L, Oct 2026

Great fall activity!

Doing this in the fall is the best! It will be cold, but the Boston foliage is so pretty. Ziggy was our tour guide, and she was super entertaining. I’m from the boston area, but it was so nice to have my boyfriend with me who was visiting for the first time. I got to drive the boat which made the experience even better. Great tour!

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

Anthony_H, Oct 2026

GREAT tour & guide!!

This tour was GREAT! Our guide, Meredith was AMAZING! She knew a lot about the park and was very funny! She even connected with a few of the guests after the tour through where they were from and even food! We learned a lot of great information about the park, even some things that you'd probably only find out on a tour like this! We had a great experience!

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

Jeanne_M, Oct 2026

It was a long day but...

It was a long day but worth it. Our tour guide was interesting and informative. My husband and I did not take the optional tour for Martha's Vineyard and we wish we would have. I would recommend the tour so you can see the whole island. I would like to go back to Marths's Vineyard.

Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum Admission

Mike_L, Oct 2026

Boston Tea Party Museum

An excellent re-enactment of the ‘Boston Tea Party’. All the ‘actors’ entered fully into the spirit of the event and brought it to life - they were even tolerant of us as British. A nice touch was the opportunity to sample the five teas in the tea shop that were tipped into the harbour - although they were not really our cup of tea!

City Cruises Boston Whale Watching Cruise by High-Speed Boat

Mark_A, Oct 2026

Great!

Narration on board is good with lots of interesting facts. We were lucky enough to see Hump Back Whales and a couple of pods of dolphins. Really great experience.
