Boston History: Tea Party, Salem Witch Trials, & Boston Massacre Tours

Cambridge, Lexington and Concord Tour

The Battle Trail

Cambridge, Lexington, and Concord combines the history of the American Revolution with the homes of many legendary writers.

Boston Literature and War History

Few cities in America can stretch their history as far back as the early 1600s and even fewer have had as much influence on this country and its people than Boston.  The abundance of historical landmarks and the beauty of the city combine to make Boston a memorable destination.

As a major city and influence in the American Revolution, the city's voice whispers in pride the tales of American freedom and democracy.  It is in the Boston Harbor that our forefathers threw their famous "tea party". And it is this city that Paul Revere began his midnight ride to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock of the arrival of the British.  To this day, visitors follow the path of Revere's travels on the Cambridge, Lexington, and Concord Tour.

For those that choose fine literature over politics, Boston offers up the literary giants:  Emerson, Longfellow, Alcott, Lowell, and Hawthorne.  (Although, like the Cambridge, Lexington and Concord Tour, Longfellow's home serves dual purposes; it was a carefully preserved historical landmark even when the great poet lived there.) 

Total Experience Tour of Boston

The Total Experience Tour allows visitors to view both the historical and modern aspects of the city.  Because beyond the brick buildings and colonial houses, Boston has moved forward to become a city of today.  Skyscrapers, parks, and high-rises allow Boston to weave history with the technology and progress of 21st century America.

On the outskirts of the city, even more treasures await.  Visitors to Boston can take advantage of a variety of tours and day trips featuring these wonderful locales.  Those interested in the history and glamour of the Kennedy family can take a Cape Cod Excursion Tour, or view the childhood home of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy by touring Fabulous Newport.  Less than an hour from the city, Wrentham Village Outlets is a shopper's delight with 170 designer outlets.

Other Tours and Attractions in Boston

Boston seems to possess an endless list of attractions:  The Franklin Park Zoo and New England Aquarium invite children and adults alike to explore nature. Culture flourishes in this city with world-class performers and artists coming together to perform and captivate the audience.  It offers mouth watering dinners (there is nothing like a fresh caught Boston lobster tantalizing broiled and basted in butter), great sporting events (home to five professional teams and the famous Boston Marathon), a terrific view of the Boston Harbor, and finally a chance to escape into the romantic pull of this storied New England town.
