Daily Itinerary
Upon arrival in Boston, you’ll meet your Tour Manager.
After lunch, you will have free time to explore Quincy Market. Built in 1825, Quincy market was an indoor pavilion of vendor sales. The main Quincy Market building continues to be a source of food for Bostonians, though it now houses food-stalls, fast-food, and restaurants. It is a popular and busy lunchtime spot for downtown workers. In the center, surrounding the dome, is a two-story seating area.
You’ll experience a signature historic experience in New England on the Freedom Trail. To preserve the story of the American Revolution, these sites are located along a unique 2.5 mile urban walking trail, marked with a bricked or painted red line. You’ll see Boston Common, the State House, the Granary Burial Ground and the site of the Boston Massacre.
You’ll visit the Old North Church located in Boston’s North End. Here, the signal from the steeple of Boston’s oldest church triggered the War for Independence. On that fateful night in 1775, the two lanterns in the steeple told Paul Revere that the British were approaching by boat, not on foot.
On the night of April 18, 1775, silversmith Paul Revere left his small wooden home in Boston’s North End and set out on a journey that would make him into a legend. Today that home is still standing at 19 North Square and has become a national historic landmark. It is downtown Boston’s oldest building and one of the few remaining from an early era in the history of colonial America.
After dinner, you will arrive at your hotel and check in.
After breakfast, you’ll check out of your hotel.
You’ll let your imagination swim wild! The New Aquarium Experience has arrived. See the Aquarium’s 21st-century transformation, featuring a spectacular new Caribbean coral reef teeming with more than 2,000 animals. The renovated 200,000 gallon Giant Ocean Tank features crystal clear views of sharks, sea turtles, stingrays and thousands of tropical fishes. Your Aquarium adventure includes bustling penguin colonies, playful seals and the smooth skin of a cownose ray gliding under your fingertips. You’ll also enjoy an IMAX movie during your visit.
Let the fun begins as you board your “DUCK”, a W.W.II style amphibious landing vehicle. First, you’ll be greeted by a legendary tour ConDUCKtors®, who will narrate your sightseeing tour of Boston.
