 3 Reviews  Talk about built for the tourists. The boat is a replica set up purely for the tourists to visit and the guide buses to visit. the story may be true but the boat is tacky. In fact it's capital T... 

 6 Reviews  The Freedom Trail is anything but about freedom. There are plenty of other cool old streets to wonder around without the masses. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice way to get to all the main tourist... 

 5 Reviews  This tour takes you around the city in a reconditioned W.W.II amphibious landing vehicle, passing by the main historical landmarks of the city, and then splashes into the Charles river to have a view... 

 2 Reviews  This restaurant makes great Clam Chowder (CHOWDAH to locals), arguably the best in the city. However, it's located right on the Freedom Trail near Faneuil Hall Marketplace, and that means that it's... 

 1 Review  Newbury Street. Mecca for overpriced, trendy, ecclectic shopping delirium, unless of course you actually like that sort of thing. This view is not the most luxurious of Newbury Street, but I guess my... 

 2 Reviews  I will never figure out why people bother standing in line to ride in the Swan Boats on the pond in the Boston Public Garden... You can walk around the pond in about five minutes, so, it's not like...

 Paul2001 Says:  As you continue along the Freedom Trail from Faneul Hall, you come to Union Street. This street consists of some of the oldest buildings in Boston. It seems... 

 Paul2001 Says:  Good grief that dreaded scaffolding again. I thought I left it all behind in Europe. Well not exactly for because Boston is such an old city many of the... 

 Fewf Says:  These catch tourists and locals alike. You're waiting for the blue line at Government Center and are willing to pay absolutely anything for a candy bar? They'll... 

 jltan Says:  There seems to be a never-ending construction project within the city of Boston. From the 'Big Dig' to smaller repairs, Boston traffic is a nightmare during... 

 mrdarius Says:  Avoid all driving if you can. Even though public transport doesn't run very late (trains are done by 2am and buses don't go much later), cabs will cost you an... 

 KennyB Says:  Hotel rooms in Boston are usually discounted in the off season and especially over the weekends. With a hotel room shortage in Boston, prepare in... 

 nuker Says:  Kind of corny, but a quick tour around the city is worth it I've heard. (I am speaking from local points of views). Boston is so rich in US history, that many...

 Dr._Aldakov Says:  Museum of Fine Arts isn't as good as it could seem from its name. It has quite poor collection, not very good location, atmosphere there aren't very friendly......

 cogedev Says:  I lost a lot of time when trying to obtain hotel accomodations with specific flat rates advertised in the Boston's papers. If You want to try so, do it as soon...
