Get the full Massachusetts experience with this combo of walking and driving tours around Boston!
You’ll find ten tours in one app - all highly entertaining, thoroughly researched and prepared by local guides.
■ Boston Freedom Trail:
Walk in the footsteps of the founding fathers. Hear the story of how the first sparks of revolution flew in Boston, and how they became an inferno! The architects of the revolution come alive along this historic trail at sites like the Boston Common and the Old North Church, where Paul Revere’s famous lanterns once hung.
■ Harvard Square:
Explore one of the most famous and beautiful universities in the world! Just about every brick in this campus is steeped in history, even predating the United States of America! We’re here to bring all that history to the surface. Get ready to hear about Harvard’s beginnings way back in the 1600s, and how it evolved from a tiny college to one of the most prestigious institutions in the world.
■ Harborwalk:
Prepare for Boston’s historic waterfront to come to life! Walk the same seaside piers as revolutionaries, smugglers, and patriotic rioters. Immerse yourself in the ship-rigging, ale-drinking, shanty-singing days of Colonial Boston, during the fiery leadup to the American Declaration of Independence.
■ Cape Ann:
Discover the vistas and natural beauty of this quintessential New England coastline. Get a taste of the culture, hear the tragic and harrowing tale of the Perfect Storm, and learn why the locals find the call of the sea so impossible to resist. Then, cruise along a rocky coastline dotted by splendid beaches, perfect for catching some sun, surf, and serenity.
■ Cape Cod:
Marvel at Cape Cod’s unblemished coastline, hear about the rich seafaring history, and see the city where colonial history collides with a funky present. This tour combines the gorgeous beaches and historic villages of the Cape with the vibrant, quirky culture of Provincetown.
■ Salem:
This quaint Massachusetts town hides a chilling history, and you’ll learn all about it here. Walk these historic streets and uncover the story of the Salem Witch Trials, where a frenzy of paranoia and superstition drove the townspeople to turn against their own neighbors.
■ Lexington & Concord
Step back in time at the site of the “shot heard round the world.” Follow the course of the first battle of the Revolutionary War and witness the courage
and ferocity of the minute men who took on the greatest military power in the world.

■ Martha's Vineyard and many more coming along the way!
