BEST OF BOSTON: LEXINGTON AND CONCORD
History looms large on this all-day outing, which delivers the best of Boston, a look at Harvard University and visits to two historic battlegrounds at Lexington and Concord. After crossing the Charles River, you’ll reach the adjacent city of Cambridge and the oldest of Harvard University’s colleges, Harvard Yard, where you’ll have free time on your own to go for a short walk. Returning to your coach, you’ll continue on to Lexington to visit its historic Battle Green, the spot where the first shots were fired in the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775. Next up, you’ll visit Concord and the Old North Bridge, notable as the site of the first full battle of the American Revolution.
Following lunch at the Union Oyster House, America’s oldest restaurant, enjoy views of key Boston landmarks such as Copley Square, Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library, Newbury Street, the Public Garden, Boston Common, Beacon Hill and the Massachusetts State House. Lastly, discover the North End for a walking tour that includes an outside visit of the Old North Church, whose steeple once featured two lanterns that heralded the approach of the British.
