Overview

The best tour for the first acquaintance with Boston. Step by step we will become acquainted with the exciting history of the founding of Boston, we will feel like the first pilgrims disembarking from the Mayflower ship. We'll learn unexpected facts about America's oldest public park. We will explore the mysteries of Boston's Brahmins and the secret gardens of Beacon Hill, the city's oldest neighborhood. We will get to know the most important and beautiful buildings of the famous Freedom Trail and take many great photos. We will see the site of the Boston Massacre and the balcony from which the text of the United States Declaration of Independence was read in 1776. We will stroll along the bustling square around Quincy Market (this is where where you can try the lobster roll). We will enjoy the magnificent view of Boston Bay.
