Boston

Start your adventure in the historic city of Boston, where the past meets the present. Walk the cobblestone streets of the Freedom Trail, explore the bustling markets at Faneuil Hall, or take in the stunning views from the Boston Harbor. With its rich history, vibrant arts scene, and mouthwatering cuisine, Boston is the perfect beginning to our journey.

If you have never visited Boston, we recommend coming in a few days early or stay afterwards to really experience this unbelievable city!

Want the day planned for you with no muss or fuss? Simply book a tour and visit Paul Revere's house, where he lived with his family from 1770 to 1800. He left from this home on the night of his famous “midnight ride” to warn his compatriots that the British were coming to arrest them in 1775. As an alternative, schedule a sightseeing day sail around Boston harbor aboard a replica of a pilot schooner passing many of Boston's coastal landmarks.

If you prefer to wing it and take charge of your day, this city has so much to offer, it will be tough to do it all! Enjoy the vibrant art scene at the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a live show at the Boston Opera House, or delve into the rich history of the iconic Fenway Park. Trust us, just simply taking the day to wander through the bustling streets of Harvard Square for a taste of local culture and unique shops or popping into the legendary Cheers for a burger and cold one, will be a day to remember!

And speaking of culture and food, the cuisine in Boston is truly unmatched…pace yourself so you can take it all in. From classic New England clam chowder and lobster rolls to raw clams and oysters caught same day paired with Boston cream pie, the food in Boston is life changing. Take the evenings to enjoy time exploring the North End, Boston’s Little Italy, for authentic Italian cuisine and hands down some of the best restaurants in Boston. Finally, top it all off with pastries from Mike’s Pastry, a legend in Boston since its founding in 1946!
