Walk Your Way Through Boston's History
We will start our tour at the Lenox hotel in the heart of the Back Bay neighborhood, and will end at historic Faneuil Hall where there are endless places to eat and explore after the tour.
Not only will we visit the famous Boston Freedom Trail, but also hidden treasures not covered on other tours.
My tour runs approximately 2 1/2 hours. Unlike some other walking tours, I try to cover as much of Boston as possible. The walk is not fast paced, but we do cover about two miles. Wear comfortable shoes.
The Back Bay - Explore one of Boston's most famous neighborhoods. Home to some of Boston's most beautiful buildings such as the Boston Public Library and the Trinity Church.
Boston Public Garden - Visit the beautiful gardens, and say hello to the Swan Boats, and the Make Way for Ducklings statues! If you come during the right time of year, they may even be donning some accessories!
Boston Common - Bask in the freedom of the oldest public park in the United States.
Cheers Bar - Where everybody knows your name.
Beacon Hill - View Boston's most historic neighborhood. Complete with original brick sidewalks and gas lanterns (you can thank some friendly 20th-century neighborhood rioters for those bricks).
The New State House - Is as impressive as the political debates inside...we think.
E-bike tour of Boston
See Boston from an electric bike ("e-bike") in a small group setting! I provide a quality e-bike, bike helmet, and bottle of water. All bikes have hand brakes and gears, so for safety, all riders MUST be comfortable using both. All riders should wear a helmet for safety. We'll adjust and test the bikes for 15-20 minutes, and then we will set out on our ride. Most of our ride is on paved cycle routes with no cars, some of it in the Emerald Necklace Park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, and on the Esplanade along the Charles River. We will cycle along both sides of the river. We can stop for coffee and then ride back through Cambridge and Brookline to Jamaica Plain. There are a few places where we walk the bikes for 2-3 blocks, so guests need to be able to walk a bit. The tour lasts about 3 1/2 hours, depending on how many stops we make and how long we spend at the cafe. This tour will allow you to try an electric bike in a low-stress cycling environment. I hope to see you with the famous "e-bike grin" as you glide along! I can accommodate anyone 16 and over and taller than about 4'8". I can often accommodate different dates and times. New England weather is unpredictable so if the weather conditions are not safe for cycling, I will cancel the tour and you'll receive a full refund.

The Revolutionary Story Tour
An epic half day city tour weaving the main events, characters, and landmarks of the American Revolution into one complete and compelling narrative. Most tours walk the Freedom Trail geographically – starting at one end and following it to the other. This tour walks Boston chronologically - the sightseeing is synchronized with and unfolds to the storytelling, bringing the characters to life and recapturing the energy that invented America. We also don't limit ourselves to "just" the Freedom Trail but explore all the original neighborhoods including the Financial District, "Little Italy", and the Harborwalk. Awarded Boston Magazine's Best Historical Tour 2022.
A coffee / restroom break and the opportunity to enter Faneuil Hall (if it's open to the public) is built in.
There are no actors, costumes, scripts, or kitsch. The history is meticulously researched and includes insights from top scholars but presented with light-hearted humor and enthusiasm so neither beginners nor hardcore history buffs will be disappointed.
We cover both the major sights and the hidden gems; extensive visual aids and props help you grasp the material; and you'll enjoy the charm of the original neighborhoods while getting a sense of the beautiful and booming modern city as well.
The tour is orientated towards adults, but enthusiasm of all ages is welcome.

Our walk and talk will provide an overview from our origin as Naumkeag to our European founding in 1626 to the Witch Hysteria of 1692 through the current day, with some sites from Hocus Pocus tossed in. I'm happy to adjust the tour route based on the interests of the attendees. The tour length is about 2 hours, depending on the interaction and the pace of the group. We'll cover about 2 miles.
