Discover The Rich History And Architectural Beauty Of Portsmouth On An Immersive Walking Tour


Explore Portsmouth’s rich past on our Historic Walking Tour, offered from November 1 through March 31. This immersive downtown and waterfront experience reveals why Portsmouth, the 4th oldest city in America, remains one of the nation’s greatest hidden gems. With its multicolored 18th-century clapboard homes, elegant Georgian mansions, and the iconic white-steepled North Church rising over Market Square, the city’s beautifully preserved charm is best discovered on foot, allowing you to appreciate the intricate details of its historic architecture.


As you wander the historic South End with your knowledgeable guide, you will uncover the stories behind landmark events that helped shape modern America, including the Treaty of Portsmouth and Paul Revere’s first famous ride.

Every street corner and hidden alleyway tells a story of resilience, innovation, and colonial heritage.

From Friday to Sunday, our 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM guided walks offer a more intimate and detailed look at the heart of the city. You will explore Market Square, hidden alleyways, and centuries-old streets that are rich with character, providing a unique perspective that you simply cannot get from a standard guidebook.


This tour is perfect for those who appreciate history, architecture, and the quiet beauty of a coastal town during the cooler months. By walking through the city, you gain a better understanding of how Portsmouth has evolved while maintaining its historic integrity. Join us for an enlightening journey through time as we navigate the streets of one of America’s most significant historic destinations, ensuring you leave with a profound appreciation for the city's enduring legacy and charm.
