Boston Hidden Gems
About
Boston Hidden Gems runs private and group tours of Boston and nearby towns, led by local guides who focus on the lesser-known people and stories behind the city’s history. Tours cover the untold tales of overlooked citizens, from the Pine Tree Riots to the Rascal King, alongside the major sights. The lineup has grown to more than a dozen tours and day trips, including the Freedom Trail, Harvard, MIT, Salem, Lexington and Concord.
Founder and CEO Maria Stephens started the company out of love for the city, after years of showing visiting friends and family around. Her first tour was a short walk around Boston Common, where she shared her favorite spot and stories from Boston’s early days. When customers asked for more options, she added full-day tours. Formats now include private tours at a group’s own pace, small-group tours, tailored experiences and free tours.
