Boston and Cambridge walking and driving private tour

This private day tour is the perfect way to get to know Boston & Cambridge at a leisurely pace. It's a combination of walking and driving (although can be driving only if you prefer). We start with a walking tour of parts of the Freedom Trail, stopping at some of the city's most significant sites. We'll then drive in and out of the other city neighborhoods, Beacon Hill, Back Bay and Seaport and finish out the Freedom Trail with a stop at Bunker Hill. Then it's across the Charles River to Cambridge, where we drive around the MIT campus, and onto Harvard for a walking tour of the oldest college in the country. We'll share lots of history and legends but also keep it topical with current day fun facts and light hearted stories. After the walk you'll need some lunch and we know some great spots (not included in price of tour). All guides are fully licensed and approved Boston tour guides, driving luxury and livery insured vehicles.
