WALKING TOURS

Our Boston walking tours are on hold for now… but check back in the summer!

Nothing brings history to life like the landmarks of the past. On the Partnership of Historic Bostons’ walking tours through downtown Boston - the heart of the original colonial settlement - you can see the 17th century for yourself. 

From the site of the first Congregational meetinghouse, by the place where the stocks and pillar exacted punishment, to the fish weirs tended by Native Americans - we’ll take you to Boston’s early days. 

Each tour is roughly 1½ hours and covers about two miles. Attendees are limited so that everyone can see and hear.

Tours include: Survival 1630, the story of how the first European arrivals survived that first, freezing winter; Food and Drink, the taverns, recipes, and kitchens of the colonial era; the Founders Tour, exploring the leaders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; and Poxes and Prescriptions, taking in the sights of early medicine.
