On a crisp morning, the streets of Boston’s North End awaken with the aroma of freshly brewed Italian coffee and the sweet promise of a cannoli. This is where your full-day private tour begins, stepping into a city where cobblestones still echo the clatter of horse hooves and the whispers of revolutionaries plotting change. As you stroll past brownstone row houses lit by lingering gas lamps in Beacon Hill, the narrative of corruption, rebellion, and tenacity unfolds seamlessly beneath the New England sky.
