Had to give up $70 tickets due to the very unpredictable weather. Really wanted to go on the tour but on the morning of the tour the weather was to bad (40mph winds, rain and cold) to make getting sick from cold and wet not worth taking a chance. Guess that’s a part of being a senior but I wish they had a shorter cancellation time

We actually had no rain Thursday. It was windy, but everything was okay otherwise. In any case, we do our best to reschedule folks who do miss a tour but never did hear from you.

This was a highlight of our recent trip to Boston. So much to see! The walk was long so we split it into two days; one "south" of the river and the other "north" of the river. The really neat thing about this was that we could stop when needed to get some water or something to eat. Fair warning: the walk up the Bunker Hill Monument, especially towards the end of our second day of walking, was "more than" a bit tiring. :) If you do climb up this monument, be sure to give everyone a chance to look out the windows. Some of the folks up there decided to spend way too much time in front of the windows. :(

This trail is easy to follow and packed with historic landmarks and facts. There are lots of opportunities to indulge in museums - Paul Revere's house, the State House and North End Church to name a few. I began the trail at 9am and finished at 3.30pm. I walked from Boston Common end to Bunker's Hill. Fanuiel Hall is a must and if you get there around 10.30 there is a free tour to the Old State House with a good description of the activities surrounding this area during the revolution.
