Boston

Welcome to Boston

Founded by English Puritan settlers in 1630, center of the American Revolution, Boston has a history, culture, and character like no other American city. It is a port city with a very historic harbor, the home of Harvard and MIT, birthplace of many top rock bands, and a foodie’s dream destination. There is always something happening in Boston and a vacation itinerary can fill quickly here. Endless city tour highlights include walking the Freedom Trail and visiting landmarks like Old North Church, Boston Common, Fenway Park, and Quincy Market.

Boston Freedom Trail Walking Tour with Costumed Guide
Anonymous, Jul 2026
Exceptional walking tour
I nearly always go on a walking tour when I visit a new city and this one was really excellent. ‘John Hancock’ provided us with historical information but what was particularly good was that he ‘read’ the group and modified his talk for the audience. For example, he involved the youngsters on the tour and reflected that I’m a Brit.

Tour of Historic Fenway Park, America’s Most Beloved Ballpark

Great Fenway tour!
We took the 9:00 am tour of Fenway on Monday, July 13. I believe our tour guide was Robert(?), a retired gentleman. He was great and gave one of the best stadium tours of all time. His passion for baseball, the Red Sox, and Fenway made the tour fantastic. And his knowledge was phenomenal. Apologies if I got the name wrong but thank you so much for a great tour.

Exceeded expectations
The Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum far exceeded our expectations. Our family of 4 (including 16 and 10 year old boys) thoroughly enjoyed the interactive and engaging experience. It was an excellent way to learn about the Boston Tea Party, and my 10 year old especially loved being able to throw the tea over the side of the ship!
