Tour Info

Join us for one of our regularly-scheduled public tours or scavenger hunts. Or set up a private group tour on a date that works for you.

How much are individual tickets for guided tours?

Tickets are typically around $20, with discounts for currently-enrolled students. Some tours are free, thanks to generous underwriters. Everything we have coming up is listed here.

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 typically start from the lobby of the Boston Marriott Cambridge in Kendall Square, at 50 Broadway, right at the Kendall Square MBTA stop. Boston tours may have different starting locations, so please pay attention to your confirmation emails from Eventbrite.

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. Pricing for these tours typically starts at $300. This PDF lists some of the options and pricing for 2025.
