The experience

Food, drinks, a ferry ride, and a side order of Boston history!

Take this tasty tour of Boston's highlights, raise a glass at the same taverns as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams, and get stuck into some delicious tavern snacks! On this 2.5-hour stroll through Beantown's oldest neighborhoods, you’ll explore the North End, Long Wharf, and enjoy a roundtrip ferry ride across Boston Harbor to Charlestown. See Faneuil Hall & Quincy Market areas, the Blackstone Block, and more.

The tour stops at two historic Boston taverns and includes five Freedom Trail sites. You can enjoy a drink and snacks at both of the taverns you visit, and a sweet treat from a famous North End pastry shop will be the perfect dessert!
