Downtown to Back Bay via Beacon Hill Walking Tour

Make Boston yours as we view its beauty, culture and history from its early beginnings to its striking 19th century architecture, as well as the special charm its unique neighborhoods still hold today.

Duration:

  • 2 hours

Highlights of this 2 hour guided tour include:

  • The Freedom Trail's historic Revolutionary War era sites from Faneuil Hall to Boston Common
  • The quirky, vibrant architecture and streets of Downtown Boston
  • Historic Beacon Hill's townhomes & gaslights
  • The 19th century Back Bay area & Boston Public Garden
  • Copley Square in all its beauty and grace

Come see how the upper echelon views the city from atop Beacon Hill, and gaze at the Swan Boats as they go under the world’s smallest suspension bridge while we stroll through the Public Garden.

Your guide will weave tales of the past, including the when, why and how the Back Bay was filled before you lose yourself in admiration of the elegant Copley Square.

At the end of the tour we'll set you loose in the Back Bay, a vibrant home to many a fine restaurant, shopping opportunity and cultural attraction.

Ask your guide for recommendations before you have lunch at an outdoor café on Newbury Street, shop in Copley Place and Prudential Center, or visit one of Boston’s fine Back Bay museums.

Meeting Location:

The NW corner of State & Congress Streets outside 28 State Street (The Citizens Bank Building in Downtown Boston, MA)
