Description

Enjoy a small-group tour with a local guide and explore historic downtown Boston!

This small-group tour of Boston will introduce you to one of the oldest cities in the United States. Some of its neighbourhoods still have cobblestone streets and buildings that date back centuries.

You'll meet your local guide in downtown Boston for a short walk along a waterfront park with great views of the harbour.You'll continue past the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a public garden in the heart of Boston that regularly hosts events and exhibitions. 

Gaze up at the city's first skyscraper, the majestic Custom House Tower, with its neoclassical architecture. You'll visit Faneuil Hall and Quincy Markets, which are in the same location and home to over 100 shops, craft stalls, restaurants, and pubs.

Then you'll stop in front of the Old State House before reaching Old City Hall. This building housed the town's government and marked the beginning of public education in America. Your guide will take you to the impressive Massachusetts State House, which is the seat of Massachusetts state's federal government.

Take in fantastic views of Boston from the State House, including the downtown skyscrapers and the John Hancock Tower, the tallest skyscraper in New England. You'll also see the charming Beacon Hill, where you can admire Boston's typical red brick houses. You'll finish your visit at the Boston Public Garden, which was the first public botanical garden in the United States and a green space that's much loved by the locals
