Desc1. WALKING TOURS - THE MAJORITY OF CAMBRIDGE HISTORICAL TOURS' INCOME IS FROM TOURS LED BY GUIDES IN VICTORIAN COSTUMES. THESE TOURS LAST 70-90 MINUTES AND COVER A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS FROM THE HISTORY OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY TO THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, TO THE HISTORY OF LITERATURE IN THE AMERICAS. TOURS CAN BE BOOKED BY SCHOOL GROUPS, SOCIAL AND CORPORATE GROUPS, FAMILIES, OR INDIVIDUALS ON A PRIVATE BASIS, BUT ARE ALSO OFFERED ON A PUBLIC BASIS WITH A SCHEDULE PUBLISHED AND UPDATED DAILY ON OUR WEBSITE, WWW.CAMBRIDGEHISTORICALTOURS.ORG. USING HUMOR AND WELL-HONED STORYTELLING, WE SERVED OVER 5,000 CUSTOMERS IN JUST 7 MONTHS AT CHEAP AND ACCESSIBLE RATES. ONE TEACHER DESCRIBED OUR TOURS AS TEACHING WITHOUT THE ANXIETY OF THE GRADES. 2. CHARACTER BOOKINGS - IN ORDER TO ACCESS CLIENTS WHO ARE EITHER TOO BUSY OR TOO FAR AWAY TO COME ON A TOUR ON LOCATION, WE HAVE DEVELOPED PROGRAMMING TO ALLOW US TO TRAVEL. IF A CORPORATE GROUP OR PRIVATE PARTY WOULD LIKE OUR BRAND OF EDUTAINMENT BROUGHT TO THEM, WE CAN PROVIDE OUR COSTUMED CHARACTERS TO THEM. WHETHER THEY WANT PAUL REVERE TO GREET THEIR CLIENTS, OR ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO WALK THEM DOWN THE AISLE AT THEIR WEDDING (THIS IS A REAL EXAMPLE), WE PROVIDE ENGAGING CHARACTERS TO BRING THE HISTORY TO LIFE, MAKING IT MORE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL AUDIENCES. 3. EVENTS AND PERFORMANCES - WHEN A CLIENT HAS A SPECIFIC GOAL OR SUBJECT THEY WISH TO PRESENT OR TEACH THROUGH PERFORMANCE OR A COORDINATED EVENT, WE WILL WRITE, REHEARSE, AND PERFORM ACCORDINGLY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR HIRED US FOR AN HOUR LONG SHOW STARRING LOUISA MAY, MAE, AND BRONSON ALCOTT TO DISCUSS LITTLE WOMEN, MARY BAKER EDDY, AND LIFE IN THE 19TH CENTURY IN AN ENGAGING WAY. THE PERFORMANCE DREW CHILDREN OF ALL AGES AND ADULTS, EDUCATING THE AUDIENCE AS TO THE HISTORY WHILE USING HUMOR, PERFORMANCE, AND DRAMATIC FLARE TO CONCEAL THE EDUCATIONAL FACTOR. THE GOAL IS TO TEACH FOLKS WITHOUT LETTING THEM KNOW THEY ARE LEARNING! WE ALSO RUN A PUB CRAWL FOR CORPORATE CLIENTS WHO ARE UNAWARE THAT THEY ARE LEARNING HISTORY, AS WE HAVE GIVEN THEM BOOZE AS A DISTRACTION. HARVARD LITFEST HIRED US TO WRITE AND PRODUCE A TOUR THROUGH THE LITERARY HISTORY OF HARVARD SQUARE, AND THE HARVARD SQUARE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION HAD US PERFORM SCENES FROM SHAKESPEARE THROUGHOUT THE SQUARE IN HONOR OF THE BARD'S BIRTHDAY. ANY OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER PROMOTE ART, SCIENCE, OR HISTORY (THE SUBJECTS OFTEN DREADED AS TOO DRY BY KIDS IN SCHOOL), WE CAN PRODUCE THE PRECISE TEACHING TOOL FOR THE OCCASSION.Desc
