Highlights
- Harvard University - Discover how a transformed home with a one-acre barnyard evolved into a world-renowned research institution, and learn about the individuals who made Harvard influential, affluent, and prestigious.
- Bunker Hill - The site of the first battle of the new Continental Army. A costly victory for the British occupiers and a demonstration by the Patriots of the new nature of warfare.
- Charlestown Navy Yard - The place where hundreds of American battleships were constructed and repaired. Home to the U.S.S Constitution, famously known as Old Ironside, the oldest ship still afloat and America’s Ship of State.
- Beacon Hill - Boston’s oldest neighborhood, where the wealthy and powerful governed the city for two centuries. Optional stops for photos and exploration.
- North End - Boston’s second oldest neighborhood. Predominantly British during the 17th and 18th centuries (with some French Protestant/Huguenots). Experienced a large influx of Irish and Jewish residents in the 19th century, eventually becoming Little Italy in the 20th century.

- Old State House - The seat of government for Massachusetts as a colony and later as a state. The site of the Boston Massacre and the reading of The Declaration of Independence.

- King’s Chapel - The first Anglican Church and the oldest burial ground in Boston.
- Granary Burying Ground - Established on the site of a grain storehouse due to lack of space at The King’s Chapel Burial Ground, where many patriots are interred.

Best Boston Adventure! - We enjoyed ourselves throughly on this tour! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the area and added a touch of something to the experience that you could not have gotten from a typical tour. Stewie was an amazing guide and I would recommend him to anyone. We were thrilled with the amount of Boston that we got to see and more thrilled with the amount of knowledge we walked away with!

Fantastic Tour!! - This ended up just being the two of us with our guide Stuart aka Stuie.
We were pick up at our hotel and taken around the city for a nearly 6 hour tour. Stuie was incredibly accommodating, asking us where we wanted to go, what sounded good for lunch, vehicle temperature, and on and on. He took us to a hole-in-the-wall pizza joint that had awesome pizza, to the USS Constitution, a Bunker Hill museum, and gave us a walking tour of Harvard. We also drove by dozens of other great sites.
Stuie has a great informality about him while being full of knowledge of the area. The time with him flew by.
Highly recommend this tour. And ask for Stuie!

Perfect experience - Our driver Stewie was awesome with his knowledge of our country’s history and local events. It was a rainy day but our tour was not dampened. We saw all the highlights and more. At the end we were dropped off in the North end for early dinner then Stuwie came back and picked us up to return to our hotel

Smart and flexible - Stewie was our savior on a very rainy day. He had umbrellas for us to make the stops comfortable. We covered so much of the city in the comfort of his SUV. He’s knowledgeable, flexible and has a great sense of humor. We most enjoyed going inside the USS Constitution.

In-Depth Boston Tour - The USS Constitution portion was absolutely outstanding! The Bunker Hill tour was very good,. The only negative at all was the timing, the tour lasted 6 hours and we didn’t quite get to see everything. However, I would definitely do this tour again!!
