Embark on a luxurious, customizable exploration of Boston and Cambridge, moving between chauffeured stretches and purposeful walks to take in landmarks from Harvard University and Fenway Park to the storied markers of the Freedom Trail. Offered in half-day and full-day formats, the tour pairs city-scale context with neighborhood detail—Little Italy’s narrow lanes, the brownstones of Newbury Street, and the architectural variety of Copley Square—so you leave with both the headlines and the lesser-seen corners.
