About this experience partner:

Boston Hidden Gems was born out of my love for this city and all it has to offer. I always enjoyed showing visiting friends and family around, and realized I wanted to share the city I love with everyone! The first Boston tour I designed was a short jaunt around the Boston Common, where I showed off my most-loved spot in the city and shared my favorite stories about Boston’s early days. After several customers asked if we had other options, I realized we needed to offer full-day Boston tours. We now have more than a dozen tours and day trips to choose from! I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful city, and sincerely hope you enjoy your tour with us! I love this city, and I know you will too!
