The Complete Tour of Boston will give you an overview of the neighborhoods and historic sites that make the city such a fascinating place to visit. Each area, with its own architecture and atmosphere, reflects the culture and history of this multifaceted city.
You'll see Beacon Hill, Boston's most prestigious address, and visit elegant Back Bay, which was built 100 years ago according to the plan of the Bois de Boulogne park in Paris. You'll pass by the Midtown Cultural District, Chinatown, and the South End, which boasts the largest Victorian neighborhood in the United States. Catch a glimpse of Fenway Park, and see the Fens section of Boston, which contains the Museum of Fine Arts, Symphony Hall, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
You'll drive by the Waterfront and then walk into the North End, Boston's famous Italian neighborhood where you will visit the Old North Church to see where the lanterns were hung to signal the beginning of Paul Revere's famous "midnight ride." Boston's Freedom Trail continues from here. You will see the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides), as well as the Massachusetts State House, the Old South Meeting House, Boston Common, and other sites along the Trail. From old to new, you will get a true feel of Boston!
HOMES OF BEACON HILL
Tour Followed by Afternoon Tea at The Hampshire House
Date: Thursday, March 1, 2007
Cost: $99.00 per person
Departure: 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. (end time approximate)
Beacon Hill is one of Boston's most prestigious neighborhoods, with many historic buildings and the private residences of some of the city's more renowned citizens—both past and present. Approximately one-half mile square, Beacon Hill—with its Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian architecture consisting of mostly brick row houses—is known for its decorative iron work, brick sidewalks, perpetually-burning gas lights, window boxes, and hidden gardens. Antique shops fill the neighborhood's main street, while the Massachusetts State House is at the top of the Hill overlooking Boston Common.
Start with a walking tour of the Hill, where you will appreciate the history and beauty of this landmark neighborhood. Your guide will also share anecdotes about past and present residents. Special arrangements have been made to visit three private homes, whose owners will offer their own perspective of life on the "Hill."
Note: This tour involves a considerable amount of walking on hills and cobblestones. Participants should be aware of these conditions and are advised to wear walking shoes.
HARVARD UNIVERSITY AND THE JFK LIBRARY
Date: Friday, March 2
Cost: $49.00 per person
Departure: 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (end time approximate)
Take this opportunity to explore Harvard University and Cambridge, where the young JFK lived and studied. Stroll through Harvard Yard, the original campus, and take time to browse in Harvard Square, with its shops, boutiques, and over 25 bookstores.
Your tour continues from Cambridge to the shoreline of Dorchester Bay, where you will visit the spectacular John F. Kennedy Library, designed by I.M. Pei. First you will see a short film about President Kennedy, and then you will walk the campaign trail, view the famous Kennedy/Nixon debates, see the often humorous press conferences, sit in on the strategy sessions during the Cuban Missile crisis, and continue on through the highlights of his presidency. See the Kennedy Oval Office and the gifts the Kennedys received during his presidency, as well as mementos from his personal life. For a short time, you will re-live the thousand days of "Camelot."
