Leave Port Authority at 6:30 am for a coach ride to Boston with stops at Harvard, MIT, Copley Square, the Freedom Trail, Quincy Market, and the Boston Tea Party site. Guides such as Moses, Carlo, Carlos, and Benjamin add plenty of historical context, but the packed schedule leaves little free time.

“Sitting at the back of the van is not comfortable at all. it should’ve been better if maximum 3 pax seating at the back instead of 4. Otherwise our tour guide was really good. She’s attentive to the participants and gave some tips at several point of attraction.”
