Our guide, Maura, made this an outstanding experience. The tour included many Back Bay sites and told an important story about the struggle for women's sufferage. She is clearly a scholar of this era and movement. Thanks for a great experience.
Fantastic tour! A great overview of the women's suffrage movement and Boston's role in it. I'm familiar with Back Bay, but this tour made me look at it through a different lens. Maura was an incredible guide -- extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic about the subject, and just a pleasant companion for the walk. Kudos to Hub Town Tour for putting this together -- the Boston Women's Heritage Trail doesn't get the attention it deserves. Take this tour now!
This was a wonderful tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. We learned so much about women’s rights in Boston while enjoying a beautiful walk through the city.
Kaitlin did an excellent job! Made the tour fun and was able to answer our questions! We did their Freedom Trail tour the day prior with Ted and immediately signed up for the Women’s Suffrage tour the next day. I would definitely book with Hub Town again, definitely a must do if you’re in Boston!
This was an amazing tour! I was blown away by all the history and the PASSION she delivered during the tour. I highly recommend going!
My friend and I had a fantastic time on this tour in August 2026. Zoe met us promptly at the public gardens in Boston, and from there we proceeded on a several hour tour of Boston that was both rich in history as well as enjoyable in scenery. Zoe's knowledge of suffragette history in New England was impressive, inclusive, and detailed. Zoe lives in Boston and has intimate knowledge and great enthusiasm for the city, which really shines through on the tour. We had an enjoyable time walking through the Boston public gardens, Back Bay neighborhoods, visiting the houses of prominent activists, visiting the beautiful Boston public library, and walking through a farmers markets. Great blend of lecture, walking, viewing, and resting along the way.
It was so well thought out and taught as we walked thru time in Boston learning of the history we so often don’t learn! Zoe was so knowledgeable yet guided us in such a conversational manner the time flew by!
We were thoroughly impressed with this interesting and informative tour. We have lived in Boston for about 30 years, and we feel like we know the city and its history fairly well. This tour, however, opened our eyes to a whole layer of history with which we were mostly unfamiliar. We are very grateful to have the new insights that our knowledgeable guide Zoe provided with such clarity, enthusiasm, and intelligence. The emphasis on concepts such as "the political is domestic, the domestic is political" and the difficulty of maintaing coalitions are important not only to the evolution of the women's suffrage debate but also--without question--to the painful issues that face us in the current day. Thank you for this tour which was very meaningful and inspiring for us and which we are encouraging our friends to take as well.
