Sightseeing, Tours & Trails
What do you want to see? Boston’s tour companies can show it to you with city trolley tours, fall foliage tours, brew pub tours, sports tours, harbor tours, ghost tours, and more.
And how do you want to see it? There are tours by foot, boat, bike, bus and even tours in World War II amphibious vehicles called “ducks” that explore both the road and the river.
There are multilingual tours, ethnic heritage tours and tours customized for individuals with disabilities. If it’s Christmastime, there are holiday light tours; if it’s summer, there are deep-sea fishing tours.
And our trails, including our famed Freedom Trail, are some of the most traversed in the country.
