    Review of: Fenway Park
    Red Sox baseball game
    We 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.

    Review of: Freedom Trail
    An Enjoyable History Lesson.
    A 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!

    Review of: Museum of Fine Arts
    Fine Art, Engravings and Sculpture
    In 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.

    Review of: Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
    Back in Time
    This 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.

    Review of: North End
    Marvelously meandering neighborhood
    I 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.

    Review of: Boston Harbor Islands State Park
    Great Experience
    Lighthouse Cruise was fantastic. Captain put boat in perfect position to capture some great shots. Crew was friendly and went out of their way to make everything perfect. Timing of cruise allowed for some nice sunset shots.

    Review of: John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum & Library
    A Camelot Experience
    Born 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.

    Review of: Samuel Adams Brewery
    Sam Signature - Interesting tour
    We booked onto the Sam Signature experience which included a stop in the active brewing area and then a visit to a sampling room. 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.

    Review of: Museum of Science
    Awesome for a rainy day
    The 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!

    Best of the trip!
    So glad we went here - it was our favorite place during our trip to Boston. The gardens are lovely and each room of the museum had so many masterpieces. Highly recommend!

    Review of: USS Constitution
    Walking on history
    Beautiful 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. Well worth the visit which can be completed in under 2 hours. Best of all it's FREE.
