About this activity

This full-day tour starts in Quincy or Boston and heads out to Cambridge, home to two of world-renowned universities — Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). At Harvard, visit Memorial Church, Memorial Hall, and Harvard Yard (where the Status of Lies is located) to embrace the history and atmosphere of the nation’s oldest institution of higher education.

After a short bus ride, arrive at the MIT campus, where modern architecture combines with old-world builds, and a passion for technological advancement nurtures.

The tour continues in the heart of the Boston at Trinity Church and the Massachusetts State House, which sits atop a hill looking out over Boston Common Park. After a short walk in Boston Common, the tour will proceed through the Freedom Trail, passing by historical sites resembling Colonial Revolutionary Boston, like the Old City House and Old State House. Stop at Faneuil Hall, which has been a marketplace and meeting site since 1742. Enjoy lunch (own expense) for approximately 1.5 hours.

After lunch, the tour will arrive at Long Wharf with the option to take a 45-minute USS Constitution cruise at an additional cost and sail out to the harbor. Cruise around the Port of Boston, which is historically one of the America’s principal seaports.

After the cruise, the tour will return to the pickup location at approximately 4pm.

This was by far the worst tour I have been on so far and I generally really enjoy everything I have booked with viator. The guide could not be understood but did not matter anyway because he barely spoke during the entire day, had almost no information at all.

The guide didn't speak English very well and was hard to understand. We didn't really get much information on the things we were supposed to see. No one on our tour had signed up to take the cruise so the tour ended a few hours early and we had to take a taxi back to out hotel. I would not recommend this tour '

This tour was not at all what it was advertised to be. We were only allowed 1/2 hr. at MIT, there was no tour. We were told to use the restrooms there. Got to see 1 bldg., the one with the restrooms. We were not able to go in the Trinity Church. We could only take pictures from the outside and were given 10 minutes to do so. We only drove by the State House. No stopping. No pictures. No tour. We did not have a short walk in Boston common. We did not drive the Freedom Trail. Granted, we drove on part of the Trail, as it practically covers the whole city, but there was nothing more than that. Also, a lot of the tour was being simultaneously translated into Chinese, which I found very distracting. We left the tour at Faneuil Hall, as it wasn't much of a tour at all. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!
