June 1st You will fly into Boston and meet your tour guide at baggage claim. You’ll load your bags on the bus and begin your day. • Quincy Market - You will have free time to explore Quincy Market. Built in 1825, Quincy market was an indoor pavilion of vendor sales. The main Quincy Market building continues to be a source of food for Bostonians, though it now houses food-stalls, fast-food, and restaurants. It is a popular and busy lunchtime spot for downtown workers. In the center, surrounding the dome, is a two-story seating area. • Freedom Trail - Experience a signature historic experience in New England on the Freedom Trail. To preserve the story of the American Revolution, these sites are located along a unique 2.5 mile urban walking trail, marked with a bricked or painted red line. You’ll see Boston Common, the State House, the Granary Burial Ground and the site of the Boston Massacre. Then you’ll continue to the North End where you’ll see the home of Paul Revere and the Old North Church. • Old North Church - You'll visit the Old North Church located in Boston's North End. Here, the signal from the steeple of Boston's oldest church triggered the War for Independence. On that fateful night in 1775, the two lanterns in the steeple told Paul Revere that the British were approaching by boat, not on foot. • Dinner at Riccardo’s Ristorante in Little Italy • Hotel check in / Night Security

Known to some as "America's Most Beloved Ballpark," Fenway is uniquely nestled in the city of Boston. See the home of Red Sox Legends, Williams, Yaz, Fisk and Rice. Visit Pesky's Pole and sit atop the world famous Green Monster which stands 37 feet 2 inches high overlooking leftfield. This is a place where dreams are made, traditions are celebrated and baseball is forever. • Blue Man Group - Experience the wonder of Blue Man Group with incredible performances, astounding music and outstanding art form.

On the morning of April 19th, 1775, Minutemen faced the British and fought at the Lexington Battle Green. You'll also see the North Bridge in Concord where shots were fired. Ralph Waldo Emerson described the first shots by the Patriots here as, "The shot heard round the world.” • Dinner at Cheers - You'll arrive at Cheers Beacon Hill, and as they say, "Where everybody knows your name." The restaurant is known internationally as the exterior of the bar seen in the NBC television sitcom Cheers which ran from 1982 to 1993. • Ghost Tour - You'll take a walking ghost tour and hear all about Boston's darker side! In a city nearly four hundred years old - troubled with war, murderers, strife and the occasional bout of stray molasses, it is hardly any wonder that Boston remains one of the most haunted cities in America and stories of the glory days of Colonial Boston only scratch the surface of Boston’s darker side. • Return to hotel
June 4th You will have breakfast and check out of the hotel. You will leave your luggage with the bellman and begin your final day of touring. • Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum - You'll arrive to The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum for an interactive and exciting history experience.

You’ll “meet” Sam Adams, you’ll participate in the re-enactment of the destruction of the tea; you’ll be invited to board a tall ship, you’ll marvel at one of only two known surviving tea crates and you’ll be inspired by the film Let It Begin Here in the Minuteman Theatre. Learn the role that you will play in one of the most important events in American history. • USS Constitution - You will visit the USS Constitution, a wooden- hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy.
