Hub Town Tours
About
Hub Town Tours runs small-group historical walking tours in three central Boston areas: the Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill and Back Bay. The name draws on Boston’s nickname, “The Hub,” and the company quotes Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.’s 1858 line calling the State House “the hub of the solar system,” sharing his pride in a small town that played a central role in forming the United States. Private groups and specialty tours are also available.
Ted, a lifelong New Englander with degrees in U.S. history and archaeology from Bowdoin College, founded the company in 2016 after working along the Freedom Trail as a park ranger and museum educator, including at the Paul Revere House and Old South Meeting House and with the National Park Service. The guide roster includes former teachers and history scholars, among them a Harvard researcher who studied the legacy of Crispus Attucks and a 2024 Boston College history graduate.
