1-Day Tour to Boston from New York

Boston has several reasons why we should visit it. We can begin by saying that it is the heart of American history and proof of this is to walk the Freedom Trail that connects 16 historical sites of the American revolution. For academics Boston is home to world-class universities like Harvard and MIT, and combines modern skyscrapers with historic cobblestone street neighborhoods like Beacon Hill, Back Bay. We can also find green spaces ideal for relaxing and enjoying gastronomy famous for its seafood especially Clam Chowder and lobster roll. In short, Boston combines history, education, architecture and gastronomy in one destination.
