- Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park - Columbus Park is a delightful urban green space offering a peaceful retreat. The park boasts beautiful landscaping, walking paths, and a stunning rose garden.

- Faneuil Hall Marketplace - Faneuil Hall holds a significant place in American history and is a must-see attraction, perhaps the most famous in Boston. We will walk through, taking brief stops for pictures, but maintaining a pace will be important due to the heavy foot traffic and crowds.
- Union Street - After our venture through Faneuil Hall, we will stop at Carmen Park, in front of Boston’s Union Street. It is home to the Holocaust memorial and some of the oldest restaurants and taverns in the country. We will pause for pictures as well.
- Boston Massacre Site - The site of the Boston Massacre, located on King Street (now State Street) in Boston, marks a pivotal moment in American history. On March 5, 1770, tensions between colonists and British soldiers escalated, resulting in a tragic confrontation. The Boston Massacre site is commemorated by a marker near the Old State House, where the incident occurred. Visitors can reflect on this historic event, explore nearby landmarks, and gain insights into the catalysts that fueled the American Revolution.
- Omni Parker House - We dedicate a 15-minute stop to the Omni Parker House Hotel along the way. Considered by some as the most haunted hotel in the country, you will explore its rich political history, learning about stays and experiences from notable figures like John F. Kennedy, Charles Dickens, and Ho Chi Minh. This stop will also conclude with a ghost story inside the hotel’s museum.
- Old City Hall - A quick detour before entering the Omni Parker House, we stop to learn about the King’s Chapel, Ben Franklin statue, and Old City Hall, all located right across the street from the hotel entrance.
- Boston Common - Boston Common, established in 1634, is a must-see destination during the tour. This historic public park, with its expansive greenery and iconic Frog Pond, offers a quick but immersive glimpse into the city’s rich past. During a brief 10-minute stop, soak in the serene atmosphere, stroll along the charming paths, and appreciate the significance of this central gathering space. From colonial history to contemporary events, Boston Common encapsulates the essence of the city, making it a delightful and efficient stop on the tour.
