What To Expect
1
Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
As we walk along Boston's Harborwalk, we'll look out across the water for a glimpse of an actual blast from the past: a colonial ship packed with tea crates! We'll learn about the events of Boston's Tea Party but we'll also dive deeper: what really caused this riot? Why were taxes so high? What did a far-away international war have to do with the price of tea in Boston?
2
New England Aquarium
We're now approaching a popular stop in Boston and along the Harborwalk: the Aquarium! This huge attraction is partially built over the Harbor, allowing the aquarium access to the natural environment of Boston's Harbor.
Cancellation Policy

Great self guided tour. Take this tour first - it gives you some highlights you can choose to see later during your time in Boston. If you have multiple people in your group, make sure everyone has their own phone to listen to the information. Also make sure your phone is fully charged or bring a portable charger. I had some time to kill on a business trip before my flight and this was perfect to see some sights, stretch my legs and learn about some history, architecture and enjoy the beautiful harbor. Wish I’d had time to see the Tea Party museum and the aquarium. But now I know to see those places next time I’m in Boston. Thanks for a great tour!

That’s awesome to hear! I hope you get the chance to come back and visit some of those popular stops along the route in-depth. You may also like my Freedom Trail tour in Boston, along with a number of other self-guided tours in other cities (based on wherever your travels take you next). Thanks again!
