All-Inclusive Beyond the Freedom Trail - Half-Day Private Tour

 

For such an iconic and historical city, Boston is relatively small and easily walkable – chock full of incredible stories to tell, with a unique blend of colonial, French, and Georgian architecture. Enjoy our all-inclusive highlights tour as you wander not only the Freedom Trail but also several other notable sights.


On your private tour, you will:

- Meet your guide in Copley Square, and see Trinity Church and Boston Public Library, built as a “palace for the people” and was the first large, free municipal library in America.
- Visit the historic 54th Regiment Memorial, where Robert Gould Shaw led the regiment out of Boston to fight the South in the Civil War.
- Enjoy Boston Commons Public Garden, and see the fun Make Way for Ducklings statues.
- Stroll through the picturesque Beacon Hill neighbourhood, lined with Federal-style and Victorian brick row houses lit by antique lanterns.
- Visit the famous Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Quincy Market, and vibrant Boston Public Market.
- While learning about sustainable farming and fishing in the state, indulge in our absolute local favourites of a Bostonian cider and a succulent Lobster Roll (included in the tour price).
- Enjoy some of the key sites of the Freedom Trail, including the Granary Burying Ground, where Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Sam Adams are buried.
- See Park Street Church, part of the Freedom Trail, from where the women’s march took place.
- Pay homage at the site of the Boston Massacre of 1770, and hear the turbulent history which led to the tragedy.
- Finish with an idyllic stroll along Boston Harbour, where the famous Boston Tea Party took place.

Whether this is your first time in Boston or your fiftieth, this tour is the insider’s tour, which will take you through the heart of the city’s highlights, while also hitting several of the spots often missed on whistle-stop tours. On your private tour, you will get to unpack this city’s rich history – from its pre-revolutionary roots through to the modern-day.

You’ll hear stories of locals whose names you’ve heard your entire life – like John Hancock and John Adams – and learn lesser-known stories of the minorities – immigrants, African-Americans, and women – who have been ever-present in the city’s history, making it the iconic city it is today.

A trip to Boston is incomplete without enjoying its spectacular local fare, and on this tour, your private guide will take you to their favourite spot for the classics: a lobster roll and fantastic cider, made from locally sourced apples. Enjoy the best of Boston on this all-inclusive, insider’s tour of Boston.
