Get all the best photos of Boston on this transformative tour! A deluxe variant of our award-winning original Best of Boston Tour, this tour will take you to places you didn’t even know you could go, ensuring you’ll make Boston memories beyond your wildest dreams! Along the way, you’ll get a taste of local cuisine, and, as always, hear stories that you won’t find in any guidebook!

After we pick you up at your hotel, your tour will start in Boston's North End neighborhood, aka ""Little Italy,'' with a light breakfast and stories about the early immigrants that led to Boston's heritage today. Walk through Boston's historic center while learning about the city's part in the American Revolution, and see the history still etched today by both sides of the conflict!

You’ll emerge from the North End onto Boston’s famous Harborwalk, where a private, covered (and heated in winter!) boat will be waiting for your group - part of our exclusive partnership that no other tour operator in Boston can offer! Enjoy an hour-long narrated ride around the harbor, where you can get up close and personal with the USS Constitution, the Zakim Bridge, Fort Independence, the Nantucket, and more. Or, if you’d prefer, take a ride out to the Harbor Islands to see lighthouses, forgotten forts, and abandoned psychiatric hospital, and, if you’re lucky, some playful marine life!

Upon returning to shore, pop into HubHall, below the famous TD Garden, for a delicious lunch at your choice of a dozen food stalls. Or go to one of the many restaurants and bars nearby, your choice! After lunch, hop back in the car for a ride into downtown and a stop by America’s oldest public park, Boston Common, and a spin through prestigious Beacon Hill. Don’t miss out on this fascinating tour that is sure to make memories for years to come!
