Along the way, you'll pass through Faneuil Hall, a vibrant marketplace where Colonists once demanded “No taxation without representation!”. Today, you can stop here for a lunch break filled with great shopping and street performers entertaining the daily crowds.. Keep it traditional with clam chowder, Boston baked beans or tasty lobster rolls!

In the afternoon explore more of this famous city. You'll see sights like the Bunker Hill Monument, Boston Harbor - site of the 'Tea Party' and the USS Constitution, affectionately called Old Ironsides by Bostonians.
