WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Massachusetts State House
You'll see all three buildings used as the seat of Massachusetts government. This is the current State House, designed by the father of Federal Architecture, Charles Bulfinch.
2. Park Street Church
At the time it was built, the church was the tallest building in the country. It's history is tied to the Abolition Movement and was know at "Brimstone Corner" both for the fiery sermons and a surprise of what was once stored in the cellar!
3. Granary Burying Ground
This is the resting place of many of the key figures of the Revolution. You'll meet them and have a brief introduction to each and the roles they played. Buried here are Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock and the victims of the Boston Massacre.
4. King's Chapel
This 1749 Anglican Church is where the first conflict erupted between Puritans and the King when in the 1680's the King stole land to place an unwanted church in Boston.
5. Old City Hall
We visit the statue of Benjamin Franklin and a marker commemorating the oldest and still-operating school in the Colony.
6. Old South Meeting House
Meeting halls were exceptionally important in Colonial times. People heard from preachers and politicians. Most notably, it was from this Puritan Meeting House that Samuel Adams launched the Boston Tea Party and, in doing so, practically guaranteed the war that would follow.
7. Old State House
Once the head of the hated British government, this was the site of a fiery court battle that demonstrated the disregard for Colonial rights in 1761. It is also the site of the 1770 Boston Massacre where innocent citizens were gunned down in cold blood... or did it happen a bit differently?
8. Faneuil Hall Marketplace
Faneuil Hall has a history of hosting great speakers. From Samuel Adams who decried "No taxation without representation" to escaped slave and abolitionist, Frederick Douglass.
9. Ebenezer Hancock House
There is much to see in the "Blackstone Block", from the offices of newspaper, "Massachusetts Spy" to the "Headquarters of the Revolution" (a bar!) to the home of Ebenezer Hancock, brother of John, who's home was used to store money sent from the French to support the Revolution.
10. The Paul Revere House
One of the oldest homes remaining in Boston, Revere purchased this 1680 Post-Medieval house in 1770 where he fathered sixteen children with two wives.
11. Old North Church & Historic Site
This church is key to the story of the Revolution when it was used to notify Patriots across narrow waters in Charlestown that the British "Regulars" would pass through Cambridge on their march to collect guns and powder in Lexington and Concord.
12. Copp's Hill Burying Ground
A brief visit to this burying ground to understand the geography of the Battle of Bunker Hill and visit a grave marker with an interesting story. to tell.
13. Bunker Hill Monument
Learn here about the Battle of Bunker Hill -- fought on Breed's Hill. While losing the battle, the British losses were triple those of the Patriots.
14. USS Constitution
The oldest commissioned war ship in the world is our final stop. Old Ironsides served the US Navy for many years both in US and foreign waters. It is a remarkable treasure.

Fantastic tour with a lot of history. This was not one of those costume entertainment tours. It is a small group tour for those seeking history.

Mark is an amazing guide! We covered a wide amount of space and he never acted tired, bored nor overly enthusiastic. I liked the way he explained history. I also loved his no tipping policy. It took all the pressure out of the experience. It was a fun and memorable day.

This was an amazing tour! Mark is very passionate and shares his knowledge by telling stories. As you walk from one place to another, he talks about the lives and impacts of multiple people. You don’t want to miss a single moment of what he has to say. I could picture it all as if I were actually there. A+++++

The tour was incredible. Mark, the tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. Normally my children do not pay attention during tours and often get bored, but not with Mark. They learned so much from him and had a great time. I highly recommend this tour.

The tour was incredible. I've been on Boston tours before and learned a bunch of facts. By the end of this tour I felt I knew the main revolutionary figures personally, and had a MUCH fuller understanding of the revolution. It was awesome! If you want to learn history, this is the tour to take. Plus he didn't accept tips.

Mark was our guide, leading our comfortably sized tour group. He really knows fascinating details about Boston’s history- particularly the revolution. Exactly what we wanted to learn more about. We pestered him with questions as we walked and he graciously provided succinct and informative answers.

Highly recommend this tour!!!!
