Tour Info

Join us for 90-minute, guide-led walking tour on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Or set up a private group tour on a date that works for you.

How much are guided tours?

Tickets are $20; children under age 8 are free! Our tours are led by the award-winning, knowledgable, and friendly staff of Boston History Company.

What do people say about them?

The tours are consistently rated ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ on TripAdvisor, Google, Yelp, and GetYourGuide. In 2023, we won a Best of Boston Award for “Best Walking Tour” from Boston Magazine. Check out our reviews — and if you take a guided tour, please leave one of your own!

Where do tours start and end?

Our guide-led tours start from the lobby of the Boston Marriott Cambridge in Kendall Square, at 50 Broadway, right at the Kendall Square MBTA stop. They conclude within an easy walk from the starting point. 

Can we do tours on a specific date… at a particular time… with a particular focus for your group?

You bet. Our friends at Boston History Company run private group tours throughout the year that can cover a portion — or all — of The Innovation Trail, depending on how much time you have.
