Tours we offer:

BEACON HILL - From the golden dome of the State House, to the elegant homes of Louisburg Square, this tour offers examples of Charles Bulfinch and his followers. By daylight or twilight, “The Hill” casts a spell of enchantment.

BOSTON BY LITTLE FEET - This child’s-eye-view of the Freedom Trail’s architecture and history is especially designed for young walkers of six to twelve years. An ideal introduction to this city this historic walk features seven designated Freedom Trail sites.  It includes the Old State House, where the Declaration if Independence was first read in Boston; Faneuil Hall (“The Cradle of Liberty”); and the always-beckoning Quincy Market.  Explorer’s Map is included.

BOSTON UNDERFOOT - Follow Boston’s great engineering feats from the filling of the Back Bay to the Big Dig, now America’s largest public works project. Ride the nation’s first subway; and learn about such taken-for-granted utilities as water, sewage, gas, steam, and electricity.

HEART OF THE FREEDOM TRAIL - An ideal introduction to this city, this historic walk features seven designated Freedom Trail sites.  Included are the Old State House, where the Declaration if Independence was first read in Boston; the site of the Boston Massacre; and Faneuil Hall (“The Cradle of Liberty”).

LITERARY LANDMARKS - Our literary stroll highlights the homes and haunts of such great Victorians as Hawthorne, Thoreau, Alcott, and Longfellow. Individually, they were writers and poets without equal. Collectively, they made Boston the epicenter of American Letters.

THE NORTH END - The North End is a delightful labyrinth of narrow streets and exotic marketplaces. This 90-minute tour covers the history of America’s oldest neighborhood from colonial days to the present, as well as the history of the city through waves of 19th century immigration. A gateway for immigrants from around the world, it is also home to the Old North Church and the Paul Revere House, the oldest extant building in Boston.

VICTORIAN BACK BAY - Boston’s Back Bay embraces one of America’s richest collections of art and architecture. Its treasures include Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library, and grand rows of stately townhouses.
