I am always trying to find the stories and personalities that bring a tour to life. I want those on my tours to imagine what it was like to live in that time as I take them through it. By presenting the inside stories you will have history presented to you with a depth you have not experienced before. On the Civil War, Revolution and Kennedy tour you will learn much more than the facts of history. You will be brought back to a time of great battles over many of the issues we still face today. You will understand the passions that lead to the Civl War and the abolition of slavery and the unique role the City of Boston played in history. The tour of the revolution will tell the often untold story of the crucial role of Boston's street gangs and how the hero's of the Revolution worked to organize them toward rebellion. On the Kennedy and the family story will he told along with issues of health care, immigration and political battles. At Harvard I walk you through Harvard's long journey from an elitist school for Protestant men to one of the countries most diverse universities. . Graduate of International Tour Management Institute. Graduate of Northeastern University and UMass Boston, where I studied history, sociology and city planning. Member of Greater Boston Tourist Association. Tour guide for the Kennedy Tour of Boston as a member of the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau.

A four hour walking tour, walk across Boston, from Copley Square to the North End. See the great architecture, parks and gardens, walk the old neighborhoods and hear the stories of the great men and women of Boston. From Copley Square see architectural gems of Trinity Church and The Public Library, through the Public Garden as you hear about the creation of the Back Bay in the 1860s. Enjoy the Boston Common and Beacon Hill, and the sights of the Freedom Trail through the North End. Hear of The Abolitionists, the Heroes of the Civil War and Revolution, The Kennedys and the immigrant stories.
Ted took my adult son and myself on a 4 hour journey through history. We went from the 1600’s all the way through 2000. We learned so much during this awesome tour. Make sure to bring good walking shoes and if it’s hot plenty of fluids. You will cover several miles!
Having visited Boston several times, Ted's tour provided much interesting information and a new appreciation for the cities historical significance.
Ted was terrific, and his tour was very informative and interesting. His knowledge of American history and applying it to Boston makes his tour over the top. Also, this tour is a four hour walking tour but Ted's flexibility in meeting us at our location, allowing for stops for water when necessary, etc. makes the tour easy and doable, But most important, the tour was educational and interesting.
Knowledgeable and nice man! Enjoyed our time.

The tour will be a three mile walk with many stops. There will be some uphill walking on Beacon Hill. That can be minimized if you like.
