Description

Your journey through Boston’s revolutionary history begins at South Station, where you’ll get a taste of Boston’s bustling past. Did you know Boston traded extensively with Russia in the 1700s? Learn how this influenced America’s struggle for independence as you arrive at Russia Wharf. Next, visit the iconic site of the Boston Tea Party, where colonists took a defiant stand against British rule. Dive into the origins of this pivotal event, what it meant for both sides, and how it edged the colonies closer to war. As you stroll along the harbor, feel the cool ocean breeze and soak in the impressive waterfront architecture. Discover how European wars reshaped America, and how radical colonists pushed back against growing British control. Then, admire the picture-perfect North Avenue Bridge before reaching Rowe’s Wharf, where a successful merchant-turned-smuggler used cunning tactics to defy British blockades. As you reach the final stretch of the Harborwalk, explore Boston’s transformation from a polluted harbor to a stunning waterfront destination. The tour wraps up at Long Wharf, offering breathtaking views and another glimpse into Boston’s rich Colonial past.
