Boston Private Food and History Tour With Revolutionary Sites
Overview
Boston's best food and history are scattered across its neighborhoods, so we bring them together in one relaxed, private tour. Start in the North End with cannoli and espresso at the city's oldest Italian café, then wander through Little Italy, hearing stories of Paul Revere's midnight ride and the neighborhood's Revolutionary roots, with a view of Old North Church, where the famous lanterns hung. Sample an Italian sandwich from a traditional salumeria, then stroll Beacon Hill, Boston's most prestigious neighborhood, and Boston Common, America's oldest public park. Stop for lobster rolls and New England clam chowder, then take in Back Bay's Victorian streets and the views of Boston and MIT from Cambridge. Finish at Copley Square by the stunning central branch of the Boston Public Library and a view of the famous Trinity Church. Come hungry! Pickup and drop-off anywhere in the Boston area are included (up to 6 guests).
