Boston Private Tours and Boston Small Group Tours
What makes our Boston private tours and our Boston small group tours in Boston different is that they’re extremely small—6 people max—and led by credentialed Boston private guides, PhD or MA-level in their respective field. Our favorites? Well, it’s hard to choose, but we really love our Boston’s Big Dig Tour, which looks at the monumental effort to bury a highway beneath the city, one of the most expensive and ambitious public works project in history. We also love our Beacon Hill Tour, which explores the history of Boston Brahmins.

Jim did an excellent tour which he modified given the rainy weather conditions. It was fascinating and he was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, architecture, and development of the region. He was very flexible and willing to follow out interests for the tour. I would highly recommend him.

Ellen was a terrific guide. She managed to tell a great story of Boston with sequence and detail that kept us, and our 11 year-old, engaged throughout.
