I learned so much about somerville and its fascinating history for an article i'm writing about Davis Square real estate. I highly recommend going on the tour if you're into urban history.

We truly didn’t know what to expect of this tour except that it was advertised as being lead by a local guide. We enjoy historical tours and chose this one because our daughter and her boyfriend have lived in Somervile for a few years and we thought it sounded like a fun way to spend time with them and his parents. What we experienced was an informative and very personal tour led by Steve who has lived 3 decades in Somerville in the same house his grandmother bought in the 1940s. During his life Steve has experienced both highs and lows of life in Somerville, as he described it, the periods of “dark” and “light.” A proud resident, Steve is not just a witness to the changes that have take place over the years, he participates actively in honoring the past. His goal and hope is to keep the stories of loss and triumph alive so that residents new to the community will be aware of Somerville’s history. The tour includes information about the beginnings of the city in colonials days and leads through the industrial revolution, post-World War, the turbulent 60’s and 70’s gang wars, and the tragedy and losses surrounding drug addiction in the more recent decades. An overview of the former factory buildings includes stories of former industrial life and how changes brought gentrification and increased housing costs. These changes also brought the lively cultural life and restaurants that now attract many young residents.
We were very fortunate to have a beautiful day for our tour. It was warm but there was a nice breeze. One suggestion however, is to include stops where there is an option to sit for a break, ideally in the shade. Also, while it wasn’t grueling there is some uphill walking and stairs involved so it would be helpful to note that in the description where comfortable walking shoes are recommended. And, while we thoroughly enjoyed the tour it may not be for young children.

I chose to take this tour not necessarily as a tourist, but wanting to learn more about Somerville. I am moving there soon, and I report on the city, so I wanted to have some history and context for all of the current events I was learning about and reporting on. Mark was my tour guide, and he was so charismatic and kind! As a born and raised Somerville guy, he really knows the ins and outs of his city. Though his knowledge went even beyond that, his hometown perspective brought a depth to each tidbit he spoke about. I highly recommend this tour!

I would like to thank Mark for giving me this tour in spite of the awful weather we had at that time. He is a passionate and dedicated resident, native and tour guide among other things of Somerville. The visit is so different from whatever you could find and takes you through time around the city. I went for this tour a bit randomly when visiting Boston and the region and could only recommend anyone in the area to go for it. All the best to Mark and the team!

This is a wonderful and informative tour led by Mark, a Somerville native and an excellent storyteller. This is a great activity whether you're just visiting the area or want to learn more about the place you live in, and it will make you think hard about the way a community's history has affected how it is today.

You can’t turn back the hands of time, but you can learn and appreciate the history of a place.
Townie Tours provides you with a unique experience to hear about the history of Somerville from a local!! Coming from Hawai’i, it was great to have the opportunity to get away from the typical tourist traps and learn the true history of an area.
Mahalo Mark and Mika for the amazing experience!

This was such a great walking tour of Somerville. I learned so many interesting details about the area and now have a better understanding of the history and changes that Somerville has experienced. This truly is a remarkable town. You can understand why Mark, our tour guide, has so much passion and love for his hometown. I would definitely go again and would highly recommend this over other tours in the area.

Excellent walking tour...we highly recommend! Our guide, Mark, was extremely knowledgeable!! As a fourth generation 'Villen born in 1985, Mark has one foot in the past and one foot in the present. His tour included history of the Boston area in general and an even more detailed history of Somerville. His mission to educate us about the social and economic changes Somerville has gone through in such a short amount of time has opened our eyes to a local's perspective and the need to remember as well as preserve the history of his town. His manner of delivery includes humor and fact infused with the passion to truly deliver an excellent, informative tour.

Mark was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the tour because he grew up in the areas we were touring. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about Davis Square or Somerville until I took this tour and we're from Boston! We had friends from outside the area and they enjoyed the local stories. Just wish they offered tours in other neighborhoods too!
