Boston Sightseeing Bus
Ticket Options
When booking, you can choose from 2 different options depending on your pace:
1.5-Hour Non-Stop Tour
If you're after a comfortable overview of the city, this is the option for you. You'll take a continuous 1.5-hour panoramic route through Boston's historic center. From your seat, accompanied by commentary from an English audio guide, you'll take in emblematic sights such as the New England Aquarium, the historic Old State House, and the sweeping Boston Common.
The route continues through charming neighborhoods such as the North End, famous for its traditional atmosphere and cultural heritage, and passes close to the USS Constitution Museum. The route ends back at the starting point, leaving you perfectly placed to keep exploring the area at your own pace.
1-Day Ticket
Prefer to design your own itinerary? With this ticket, you can hop on and off the Boston sightseeing bus as many times as you like over a full day. The route has 8 stops across the city's most emblematic districts:
- Stop 1 – New England Aquarium: starting by the harbor, you can discover the aquarium's marine life before heading to Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market for a famous clam chowder or a lobster roll.
- Stop 2 – Old State House Museum: the perfect place to immerse yourself in Boston's colonial past. Stroll the cobbled streets, see the town hall, and visit the Old South Meeting House, central to the outbreak of the Boston Tea Party.
- Stop 3 – Downtown Boston: in the financial and historic heart of the city, you can admire the Granary Burying Ground, resting place of figures such as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams, or take in the architecture of King's Chapel.
- Stop 4 – Boston Common: hop off here to relax in the oldest public park in the United States, take a ride on the iconic swan boats in the Public Garden, or head over to sample the food of lively Chinatown.
- Stop 5 – Cheers Pub: ideal for fans of television and colonial architecture. Grab a drink at the bar that inspired the famous series Cheers and wander the romantic gas-lit streets of Beacon Hill.
- Stop 6 – Boston Public Library: admire the library's majestic marble halls, take in the view over Copley Square, or browse the galleries of the charming South End.
- Stop 7 – Trinity Church: a gem of Romanesque architecture surrounded by the elegance of Back Bay. From here you're steps away from Newbury Street, the city's most stylish shopping avenue, lined with boutiques and cafés.
- Stop 8 – Massachusetts State House: its gleaming golden dome dominates this historic area. Walk among modern skyscrapers and discover treasures such as the Otis House, a magnificently preserved federal residence.
