Tour Description
See the best of Boston in a day on our most popular tour! This tour combines the highlights of three Boston tours in one afternoon, making sure you don't miss a thing. The experience is designed to cover all the "must-see'' historical Boston locations, while tasting delicious local cuisine and hearing lesser-known stories about Boston's checkered past.
The afternoon starts in Boston's North End neighborhood, aka "Little Italy,'' with a light European-style breakfast and stories about the early immigrants that led to Boston's heritage today. Proceed through Boston's historic center while learning about the city's part in the American Revolution. Free time to grab a cup of chowdah and souvenirs at a historical downtown food and shopping area. The tour concludes with a stroll through Boston's most prestigious historical brownstone neighborhood and the adjacent public parks, while listening to tales about the colorful characters making up the city's past.
Learn about the series of unusual events surrounding the construction of the oldest subway in America.
What were the "King's Pines" and why did the pine tree end up symbolizing the American revolution?
Learn about the "first city hall" of Boston and the sermons, hangings, and acts of rebellion that surround it.
Listen to the story of William Blackstone, Boston's and Rhode Island's first settler and his quest to get as far away as possible from everyone to read his books in peace.
Many more unique and unknown stories await on the tour!
