Hub Town Tours: Award-Winning Small-Group Freedom Trail Walk

Join Boston's most acclaimed small-group walking tour through the Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill, and Back Bay with award-winning local historians who bring colonial Boston vividly to life. Intimate groups, extraordinary storytelling.

What to expect

Starting at the golden-domed Massachusetts State House, your guide navigates Beacon Hill's Federal-era streetscapes with the kind of anecdotal depth that transforms sightseeing into storytelling. Granary Burying Ground — resting place of Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock — becomes genuinely moving rather than a box to tick. The Back Bay section reveals the city's Victorian architectural ambition, from the brownstone-lined Commonwealth Avenue mall to the sweeping Trinity Church. Groups rarely exceed 12 guests, ensuring every question is heard.
