Description

Gruesome murders, bloody battles, untimely death, and plenty of irreverent humor will entertain and perhaps freak you out on this 90-minute Gruesome murders, bloody battles, untimely death, and plenty of irreverent humor will entertain and perhaps freak you out on this 90-minute stroll through Harvard Square. Excellent story-telling by expert guides dressed in period costume will make you feel like you're back around the campfire. Tales of mediums, mourning lovers, and deceased Harvard students haunt the town as we creep through the Square to finish in the dark of the Burial Ground. Don't fret. You won't wet your knickers. This tour is appropriate for all willing ages, though some violent imagery is certainly a part of the package, so parental discretion is advised. We focus on telling great stories, cracking cheap jokes, and making sure everyone is having fun.  This tour is wheelchair accessible, with the exception of the Burial Ground. We cover a distance of roughly one mile over 90 minutes, so the pace is more of a mosey than a walk. We meet at the front entrance of the Harvard COOP (look for the big white pillars). If you can't see us, give us a call at 617-520-4030! Cambridge Historical Tours gives tours presenting history and science through entertaining stories and fascinating facts. With a focus on humor and accuracy of information, all guides (in costume or business casual- your choice!) are local actors or professional nerds.

Don't see what you're interested in? We can probably accomodate you. Boutique tours along the lines of literary giants, womens history, abolitionists and architecture are in our wheelhouse.
