Description

If you have two days in Boston, this tour is a must! It’s an ideal introduction to the city, offering a blend of history, architecture, and local charm. Perfectly paired with a Freedom Trail tour. Step back in time as we explore the roots of Boston’s founding, from the oldest public park in the United States to the hidden secrets of Beacon Hill, Boston’s oldest neighborhood. Discover the city's elite history, including the Brahmins of Boston, mysterious lavender-tinted glasses, and the area’s charming secret gardens. From there, we’ll venture into the Back Bay, one of America’s most beautiful and well-planned residential neighborhoods. Modeled after Parisian boulevards, the wide, tree-lined streets are a testament to 19th-century urban planning at its finest. The ambitious land reclamation project that created Back Bay took 40 years, adding 450 acres to the city. You’ll marvel at the stunning Gilded Age mansions that line Commonwealth Avenue, stroll down the stylish Newbury Street, and explore the luxurious homes that make this area so special. Back Bay was once home to 13 churches of various denominations; today, eight remain, with Trinity Church and the Mother Church standing out as architectural masterpieces. We’ll also take in Boston’s iconic skyline, including the John Hancock Tower and the Prudential Center, the tallest buildings in the city. Finally, our tour concludes with a visit to the Boston Public Library, where you’ll have the chance to see its magnificent reading room up close. Your local French-speaking guide will share intriguing facts and anecdotes. Join us for an unforgettable experience!
