Itinerary
We'll meet at the indicated time on the steps of the Boston Public Library. From here, we'll walk to Copley Square, where we'll talk about the examples of architecture found in this square. We'll also reflect on the city's resilience after the 2013 marathon bombing. We'll tell you about this event that marked Boston's recent history and demonstrated the strength of the locals.
Next, we'll stroll along Commonwealth Avenue, a tree-lined urban thoroughfare inspired by European boulevards, which will take us to the Boston Public Garden, the oldest botanical garden in the country. In this oasis full of vegetation, which changes color depending on the time of year, we'll admire its central lake and visit the famous ducklings.
Next, we'll explore the most aristocratic and historic neighborhood in the capital of Massachusetts: Beacon Hill. We'll walk through its narrow streets adorned with unique red brick houses and decorated doors. You won't stop taking pictures!
Now for some history, we'll head to the Freedom Trail, a popular path where we'll pass by the most significant sites of the American Revolution. Following the route, we'll marvel at iconic places such as churches, buildings, and cemeteries, including the Massachusetts State House and the Old South Meeting House, and we'll discover what really happened in the Boston Massacre.
Finally, we will enter a building that has been called "The Cradle of Liberty," the famous Faneuil Hall, where we will talk about the tragic and historic events that took place there.
We'll say goodbye at this last stop after a 2.5-hour tour. Right in the middle of Quincy Market, which is the perfect place to indulge in local food.
