Overview

See the best of Boston from one end of the city to the other on this private, half-day driving highlights tour.

If you are arriving in Boston with no idea where to start or how to orient yourself, then this is the perfect tour – full of the historic spots in the city, along with a thorough overview of the city itself.

You’ll get the feel of the city, and your guide will help you plan out a list of places you should return to and spend time at your own pace – helping you choose the best from the city’s eclectic food scene to its famous beer brewing industry.

If you have been to Boston before, but still want to be refreshed on the city, then your guide will happily tailor the tour on the day with you to slow down the pace, skip sites you’ve already seen, and to further explore places which pique your interest.

Whether it’s the summer heat, the winter chill, or simply wanting a day to give your feet a rest, this driving tour is the perfect way to explore Boston.
