One of the places that has made a big impression on my visitors from outside of this area has been is the Lowell Heritage State Park. The working water powered looms really helped my guests understand the Industrial Revolution. Like most things, seeing something actually work in person creates a

Tour of the constitution in the Charlestown navy yard is a wonderful take and very informative as well! One of our favorite go to places to take out of town visitors! Bernadette Bernadette and Mark On Mon, Jun 17, 2024 at 8:57 AM iearlerice--- via Lincoln < lincoln@lincolntalk.org> wrote: > G

Boston does have bus tours, Old Town Trolley and City View are the two main companies that offer “hop on hop off” tours where you can get a guided tour between major landmarks. The quality of the tour really depends on the tour guide, some are more informative while others try more to be entertaini

I concur, but if time is limited, the Duck Tours are the easiest way to see the most in a short period of time. Plus, they are fun. They give you an idea of what you want to google later once you get off the duck boat. In all my years of living in Boston proper, I've never seen bus tours because

I am not sure there is much in the way of decent bus tours. Duck Tours are fun, but incredibly historically inaccurate. The Freedom Trail NPS tours are good, but involve walking on hills. If you select certain sites, you can mitigate walking-African Meeting House, the BPL (fabulous, undiscovered g
