To make the most of your time in the city, it is a great idea to sign up for one or more of these Boston tours.

No matter what your primary reason for visiting Boston is, there are going to be lots of other things that will draw your attention as well - and many of them are covered by these Boston tours. You can join one of the popular hop-on/hop-off city tours, which give you the ultimate in flexibility to spend as much time as you like at each attraction, or take a day-long tour of the major sights and famous nearby towns. You can even sign up for a day trip to check out the fall foliage, see the Atlantic coast, get historic at the Plymouth Plantation, or go whale-watching.

Obviously, the longer Boston tours are going to cost a bit more, but no matter what your travel budget is there are tours here that will suit you. The hop-on/hop-off tour is just over $30, and the three-hour whale-watching trip is just under $40.

There is so much history in and around Boston that it might be tempting to focus solely on things like the infamous Boston Tea Party, Boston Massacre, and Plymouth Colony. But present day Boston is a vibrant and interesting city with great restaurants, excellent shopping, and some of the most enthusiastic sports fans on earth. Even if you are not a baseball fan, you can easily think of seeing a Red Sox game at Fenway Park as a cultural experience. Just make sure you are cheering for the home team.
