An interesting history of Boston and its architecture, from the time the city was founded in 1630 until today. Learn how Boston 's three hills were used as part of the largest land-fill operation in the world. See how the first settlers viewed Boston - and who was here to greet them! Some of Boston's most interesting buildings are seen, including the Old North Church and Paul Revere's House in Boston's Italian North End. We'll stroll the oldest areas of Boston including many of its nooks and crannies, as we explore the last remaining street from the 1700's, the original immigrant arrival area and now Boston's "Little Italy", and view the commercial and residential Harborside from the North End into Downtown. You'll get the history and the stories behind the History. Like the Great Molasses Flood, which famous figure actually paid for the revolution out of his own pocket, and how Boston transformed its industrial Waterfront into a beautiful residential enclave.

Alan was wonderful! He took is time to explain everything. We learned a lot.
Great tour with Alan! Very friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. He answered all our questions and spent plenty of time at each spot along the tour route. Alan is very engaging and easy to get along with. Loved his passion for the history of Boston.
Alan was attentive and responsive to our group's inquiries and made an effort to get to know our company. It was a great outing for our company and he ended the tour at our restaurant for dinner which was fabulous! Famiglia Georgio!! Thanks Alan!
Working in my past, my employees often told me I was a tough grader. With that in mind, I would rate the tours with Alan as our guide, at 4 ½. I do recommend him as a guide and would call him again should we return to Boston to see more sights. While we enjoyed seeing Boston immensely (it is a very fun as well as historical city), and Alan did a really good job, be aware that there is a fair amount of walking. Wear comfortable shoes.
We'll go from the old Downtown to the North end and the Waterfront. Just some of what you'll see includes Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, the Blackstone Block, Holocaust Memorial, America's Oldest Restaurant, The Boston Stone, America's Oldest Tavern, The Haymarket, The North End, Boston's Best Italian Restaurants, The Old North Church, Paul Revere's House, Boston Harbor, Long Wharf, The Custom House.
