Tour Description

Boston may be known as a world center for learning, but Cambridge is where it's at.

It boasts of two of the world's leading universities and a diverse population with an edgy, progressive political mindset.

Cambridge also has its share of U.S. history; it's where George Washington took command of the newly formed U.S. Army during the Siege of Boston.

It's also home to countless museums, bookstores, boutiques and cafes.

Join Free Tours by Foot as we jump off from the Freedom Trail and cross the Charles River to the City of Cambridge.

Find out for yourself why countless numbers of America's elite have nurtured their intellects within this city.
