Great, old city, with much to see and do, October 21, 2012
Reviewer: daktam
Pros: Most European of American cities, many attractions and much history
Cons: Large ships may leave by 3:30 because of tides
There's so much to do and see here that it's worth getting an early start (off by 8 or 8:30 if you can). You can book a hop-on/off tour by the pier, with good guides and the ability to visit many interesting places, then hop back on to the next one(s). Many guidebooks will list important historical sites, museums, colleges, parks, and neighborhoods. A port not to be missed.

A beautiful, old amd must see city., June 20, 2012
Reviewer: jmeema
Pros: There is something interesting to see at every turn. Book with a good tour guide
Cons: This city is suprisingly short on restrooms.
We took a great tour of Boston With Boston Private Tours. Our tour guide Francesca knew all of Boston's history and believe me there is history everywhere. The houses, the churches, the Freedom Trail, the cemeteries and the restaurants. So much to see.
