Boston & Harvard University One Day Tour from NYC

We’ll take care of your transportation and itinerary, while you sit back in comfort and enjoy the vibrant and historical city of Boston. We even offer convenient pick-up locations from midtown Manhattan. All you need to do is show up, and get ready for a day of adventure!

Although Boston is one of America’s most renowned and widely recognized cities, it holds a unique small-town charm and vibrant energy that is unlike any other metropolitan city in the US. The captivating sites, stately architectural buildings, and famous landmarks you’ll visit on this tour will weave together the story of America’s road to independence, as you walk along the same cobbled streets where our founding fathers once strolled.

We’ll show you the best that Boston has to offer, all in one exciting day packed with sights, sounds, and historical thrills.

Cambridge is home to two of the most storied and prestigious institutions in the world, Harvard University and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)! Harvard campus is majestic and breathtaking, bustling with student life and youthful energy, yet showcasing the age-old traditions, legacies, and ivy-covered brick buildings that bring this world-class campus to life.

We’ll visit Copley Square, one of the most famous and idyllic locations in Boston, which is home to Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library, the John Hancock Tower, and many other national landmarks. Did you know that Trinity Church is the only church ranked among the top ten buildings ever erected in the United States? We’ll stop at this architectural masterpiece, and we’ll also get a glimpse of the sleek rising façade of the John Hancock Tower.

Lovers of literature, art, and culture will especially enjoy our visit to the Boston Public Library, one of the most spectacular libraries in America. The ornate architecture and expansive literary displays are absolutely stunning, and you’ll marvel at the collections of paintings, tapestries, sculptures, and the entire gallery dedicated to John Singer Sargent murals. This library is truly a one-of-a-kind American treasure!

Our tour also offers you the chance to step back in time with a visit to one of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods, Beacon Hill. This picturesque historic delight has beautiful architecture, centuries-old buildings, and narrow streets lined with real gas lights!

And of course, a visit to Boston would not be complete without a walk along the Freedom Trail. This simple brick line is paved with historical significance, taking visitors on an enriching journey through America’s past, including Massachusetts State House, Old State House, Granary Burying Ground, King’s Chapel, and Faneuil Hall.

Finally, foodies will love our stop at the Quincy Market, where we’ll browse local produce, fresh foods, sweet treats, and artisanal goods from hundreds of local shops. It is a feast for the senses – and the palate!

Don’t miss out on this amazing journey through one of the most intriguing historical cities in America.
