Itinerary

Day 1 Boston

Boston is the largest city in New England, the capital of the state of Massachusetts, and one of the most historic, wealthy and influential cities in the United States of America. Its plethora of museums, historical sights, and wealth of live performances, all explain why the city gets 16.3 million visitors a year, making it one of the ten most popular tourist locations in the country. The historic areas of Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Chinatown, Downtown, the Fenway, the Financial District, Government Center, the North End, and the South End comprise the area considered "Boston Proper." Cambridge (just across the Charles River, home to Harvard and MIT) is part of the larger urban area and an essential addition to any visit to Boston.

You will be provided with a pre-departure package which will include all necessary information that you will need for your trip including materials such as vouchers, maps, train tickets (if relevant) etc.

Meet your professional driver for a private airport transfer. 

Take an hour and a half long walking history tour of Boston, Massachusetts. Join our merry band of revolutionaries for an exciting journey through Colonial Boston and the American Revolution. Let Captain David Hawkins, Corporal Jonathan Hoyt, Bully Jim Denton, Freelove Bliss, and others show you Boston's Historic Freedom Trail like you've never seen it before. America's Path to Independence, the walking tour of Boston is led by unique colonial characters created by trained historical interpreters. During your tour you'll see The Boston Common, Old Granary Burying Ground, Kings Chapel, and the Old South Meeting House, to name just a few. Led by costumed characters telling tales from the colonial era, this is a wonderful way to learn about Boston's past.

A stylish new look has been added to the already ideal location and top-notch service of the Boston Marriott Long Wharf hotel. Located on Boston Harbor at the historic Long Wharf in downtown Boston, the hotel is ideal for business and leisure.

Overnight at Boston Marriott Long Wharf.
