WHAT TO SEE IN BOSTON WITH THIS TOUR
Faneuil Hall
The guided tour begins in the heart of historic Boston. Faneuil Hall is also known as "the cradle of freedom", since several speeches were made there demanding independence from the United Kingdom. This building has been used as a market and meeting place since 1742.
Faneuil Hall is the area with the most atmosphere in the city, there is also the Quincy Market, a market with stalls where you can eat great.

Old State House was built in the year 1713 and was used as the seat of the British Colonial Government. The Boston massacre occurred right there on the night of March 5, 1770. Currently, the old state house is used as a museum, where there are historical objects and documents from the time of the riots.
Old South Meeting House
Many famous people were baptized in this beautiful church, including Benjamin Franklin. However, the church did not become popular because of these baptisms, but because the Boston Tea Party was organized there.
