Boston Tours

Boston is so much more than their tea-chucking history would lead one to believe. Boston is a charming metropolis packed with rich culture and history, and visitors can take their pick of several amusing attractions and mesmerizing sights. With so many attention-grabbing tourist attractions and places to explore, there is an overabundance of guided tours for every visitor. Boston travel will help you to discover historical neighborhoods such as Beacon Hill and Charlestown, or to coast the Charles River and take pleasure in the local sights and city skyline. If you don't mind hitting the pavement, there are more than a few walking Boston tours such as the Movie Mile Walking Tour, the Boston Photo Tour and the Footsteps to Freedom Tour.

Boston Duck Tours

Boston Duck Tours is an excellent way to travel around the city and glimpse the historical and cultural sights. A renovated World War II amphibious vehicle (better known as a "duck") serves as your tour bus, while a ConDUCKtors guide narrates the entire tour of Boston. These Boston Tours highlight many celebrated landmarks such as Bunker Hill, Banknorth Garden, Copley Square, Newbury Street, and Quincy Market. Prior to the conclusion of the tour, the "duck" will splashdown into the Charles River, and all on board will enjoy an impressive view of the Boston skyline.

Boston Trolley Tours

If you're looking for things to do in Boston, then the Beantown Trolley Tours is another memorable way to experience the city.

Sit back on the trolley, and listen to a well-informed guide highlight more than 100 points of interests and present information about the city and landmarks. The trolley makes 20 stops along the way, and each tour includes a 45-minute harbor cruise. Boston Trolley Tours also feature combination packages that include a ghost tour and a hop-on, hop-off trolley tour.
