Why Choose Beantown Free Tours in Boston?

Welcome to Boston - we’re thrilled you’re here! At Beantown Free Tours, we believe exploring this historic city should be accessible to everyone, without breaking the bank.

That’s why our daily walking tours are completely free—no tickets, no fees, no gimmicks. We’re not funded by any organizations or sponsors. Instead, we rely solely on the generosity of our guests. While there’s no charge to join, we hope you’ll recognize the value of your experience and consider tipping your guide. Similar tours cost $20–$40 per person, but most of our guests contribute $10–$15.

We keep our groups small—no more than 20 participants—so you can easily see, hear, and engage with your guide. Questions are always welcome!

Traveling with kids? We love children and go the extra mile to make our tours fun and welcoming for families. Strollers, wheelchairs, and walkers are no problem at all.

Interested in a private, group, or custom experience? Just fill out our contact form—we’d love to show you Boston your way.

We can’t wait to meet you!
