Itinerary
America’s oldest public park—once a grazing field, a military camp, and even a site for public hangings. Now it’s just a great place to stroll. The tour is over 3 miles long, with more than 51 audio stories, and takes about 3-4 hours to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.
The golden dome stands tall over Beacon Hill. Inside? Politics, history, and the spirit of a still-evolving democracy.
A symbol of fiery sermons and abolitionist passion. Its 217-foot steeple once dominated Boston’s skyline.
Final resting place of Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams—plus the victims of the Boston Massacre.
The oldest public school in America. Franklin went here... briefly. There’s a statue of him to mark the spot.
Two haunting sculptures tell the story of Irish immigrants fleeing starvation and finding new life—and hardship—in Boston.
Where the Boston Tea Party began—angry colonists, fiery speeches, and a revolution in the making.
Once a literary hub. Think Hawthorne, Emerson, and Longfellow browsing for inspiration.
Colonial power center turned revolutionary landmark. It’s where the Declaration was first read to Bostonians.
A ring of bricks marks the place where tensions boiled over in 1770—five colonists died, sparking a movement.
Nicknamed the “Cradle of Liberty.” It’s where patriots debated British rule—and where you can now grab lobster rolls.
Boston’s historic open-air market. It’s loud, chaotic, and full of cheap produce and personality.
The oldest surviving structure in downtown Boston. Step inside the modest home of a revolutionary legend.
“One if by land, two if by sea…” This is the very church that signaled Revere’s midnight ride.
A peaceful graveyard with a view. British troops used these headstones for target practice—seriously.
Step aboard “Old Ironsides,” the world’s oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat—and undefeated in battle.
Climb all 294 steps for a panoramic view and remember: the British won the hill, but at a steep cost.
