What travellers are saying
- William JPortsmouth, UK355 contributionsWe spent an enjoyable evening at the baseball watching the Red Sox vs. Detroit Tigers. We are from the UK and this was our second ever baseball game. We enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere, getting some drinks and participating with the crowds. We opted for Grandstand tickets so we could have a reasonable view of the game. The tickets were a little pricey, but for us it was a one off event whilst on vacation.Written 26 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Lezley10 contributionsA true history lesson, no longer taught in school! Also, by following the trail you learn how easy it is to maneuver the city on foot!Written 26 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- LAFFSTOPMission Viejo, CA186 contributionsIn a city where history lives on every block, the Museum of Fine Arts ties the city's different eras together.
In addition, artworks from, across the world have found their way into the museum's showcases. From ancient Egyptian pharaoh's tombs to modern French Impressionism, the museum is laid for easy walking.Written 24 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Julie SBrookfield, WI14 contributionsThis production is top notch. As a history minor and retired teacher, I was really impressed! One was made to feel like you were there when the Boston Tea Party happened with actors in costumes, movies, artifacts, reenactments, holograms, and more. I don't want to give away any of the unique surprises.Written 29 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- dustythoughtsManchester, CT1,562 contributionsI can't believe it's taken me this long to visit the fabulous North End. Boston's Little Italy, this neighborhood is a glorious maze of smaller streets, authentic Italian restaurants and bakeries, and a cozy, homey feeling that almost feels out of place in the hustle and bustle of Boston. I like wandering down the streets, enjoying the pretty flowers in the windows and the delicious aromas wafting out of eateries.Written 26 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- LAFFSTOPMission Viejo, CA186 contributionsBorn into a life of luxury derived from a successful New England family, this man instead opted for a life of public service.
The library set along the scenic Boston harbor shoreline; chronicles the life of the immediate JFK 's generational family.
The museum docents are more than welcoming and are proud to show off and explain the many facets of the museum.

Beer samples were provided as part of the experience and we were able to keep the glassware on the day. All the staff at Sam Adams were really friendly and engaging. Overall, we enjoyed the experience.Written 26 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- PrincermanOtsego, MN821 contributionsThe weather was lousy one morning when we were in Boston. We opted for the MOS there in Boston which is easily accessible by public transit. We were there from 10-4 and never got bored. There’s so much cool stuff here to see. One huge bonus: the cafe has great food!Written 5 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Frank BReno, NV206 contributionsBeautiful tall ship with lots of access for young an old. See and feel the weight of the cannons and the complexity of ships built in that era.
