Our tour starts with a walk in Harvard Yard, the oldest academic ground in America. We see Widener library and then rub the shoe of John Harvard for good luck.

We continue on a panoramic tour passing by City Hall, MIT, and Cambridge College. Then we cross the Charles River and arrive in the center of the intellectual capital of the country. Visit Copley Square with the beautiful Trinity church.

Next stop is a walk along the freedom trail through Boston Common Park. We break for lunch at Quincy Market. Try the world famous Clam Chowder or a Lobster roll. After lunch we visit the site of the famous Tea Party.

In the late afternoon we will depart southwest for an evening arrival in New York.

Booked this mainly for the Harvard visit and it was worth it. Walking through the oldest college in the US, hearing about its history - that alone made the trip. Our guide Sharon gave a detailed introduction on the way down, which really set the scene. Quincy Market for lunch was a nice break - lobster rolls were pricey but delicious.

First time in Boston and I'm glad I did it this way. The guided walk along the red brick Freedom Trail was the highlight - our guide brought the history of the American Revolution to life in a way I didn't expect. I learned much in those few hours.

Boston in a day? Yes, it's possible. No, it's not enough. But our guide Mani made it work. Good pace, good info, good lobster roll at Quincy Market. Slept on the bus home. Would do it again - but maybe stay overnight next time.
