Description

Enjoy Boston's best value tour presented by professionals. Your Boston Bigly 1776 Adventure with John and Abigail Adams passes Boston Common, America’s first Public Garden, 1870s Swan Boats and the Bull and Finch Pub, inspiration for sitcom Cheers. Entering the Back Bay, admire Gilded Age mansions, Richardson's Trinity Church, Copley Place, and the Boston Public Library. See our upscale Copley Place and Prudential Shops Malls. Proceed past the stunning Christian Science Center's seven-hundred-foot reflecting pool. Learn about and see Fenway Park, America's oldest baseball stadium, home to the Red Sox. Pose for a picture with the Teammates sculpture depicting the great Ted Williams. Traveling past Beacon Hill, admire the mansions of wealthy Bostonians, whose fortunes were made in global trade and textiles. Take a picture of beautiful cobblestone streets, gas lanterns, and brownstones, and hear the story behind the purple glass panes. Atop Beacon Hill is the Massachusetts State House, replete with a beautiful gold-leaf dome, a symbol of the wealth. To the right is the spectacular Robert Gould Shaw Memorial depicted in the epic Civil War movie 'Glory.' Next is Quincy, the City of Presidents, about 30 minutes outside Boston. Quincy contains the sites where Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams were born and lived. See the oldest presidential birthplaces in America, where John Adams drafted the Massachusetts Constitution, and Abigail Adams wrote her famous love letters to John during the American Revolution. See Peacefield, the vast farm that became home of the Adams family. (Entry into these historic homesteads is not practical due to NPS prescheduling requirements and restrictions. You will be able to walk about and take pictures.) Then back to Boston for lunch options at historic Quincy Market Place. After lunch, reboard the bus and head past Little Italy (with more than 50 Italian restaurants) and tour the USS Constitution, commissioned in 1797. After walking her decks, your guide will return you to your hotel or pick-up spot with fond memories of your Bigly adventure!
