Overview of your Boston tour:

These beautiful Boston streets of my hometown are a feast for the senses. Stroll through elegant Beacon Hill, with its cobblestones, colonial architecture, and abundance of history. Meet iconic poets, underground railroad heroes, and Senators who changed our world. Marvel at the hidden gems of the palatial Boston Public Library, from marble sculptures and ceiling frescos to historic maps that never cease to amaze. Be dazzled by the Boston Public Garden, the first botanical garden in America, as I bring statues to life, from immigrant revolutionaries to the inventors of anesthesia. Discover the artistry of Copley Square and its historic hotels and churches, featuring stunning stained glass and tales of witchcraft and revolution. Experience today's Boston- the marathon, an 1800s prison turned haunted hotel, antiques and galleries, farmers markets, hidden seafood gems and chocolate shops… This tour is completely customizable to your interests- tell me what excites you and we'll make that our focus!
