Can you recommend some little-known Boston tours, available in early April?
My teenagers, husband and I are going to Boston the first week of April. We will be staying in the Long Wharf area. On previous Boston vacations, we have gone on the Olde Town Trolley, DUCK, Freedom Trail and Ghost Tours. We have also been on whale watches and dinner cruises and have visited The New England Aquarium and Science Museum. Are there other organized Boston tours you know of that are available in early April? Most start in May.
On the 3rd Monday of April there is a Boston Marathon As many as 1 million spectators may look on as the course roughly follows the T Green Line into town on Patriots' Day, a Boston public holiday. It is a free citywide celebration that dates back to 1897. Phone 617-236-1652.
Essayist Oliver Wendall Holmes once described Boston as the “hub of the solar system”, and the Hub it is! This beautiful city on the bay is richly endowed with landmarks of historical significance and unlimited cultural and entertainment possibilities. Boston is a city of fascinating narrow streets and byways that invite exploration on foot.
The Freedom Trail (also known as the Red Line you see running along Boston's sidewalks) winds through a path of 16 of the historically significant sites associated with the beginnings of our Republic. The tour begins at the meadowlands of Boston Common and ends at the harbor in Charlestown Navy Yard, winding along the way for 2.5 miles through downtown Boston and the attractive North End. Sites along the trail include Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church, and Copp's Hill Burying Ground.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts house some of the world's most famous works by such greats as Singer Sargent, Rembrandt, Vermeer and Botticelli as well as a stunning three story garden atrium. Meanwhile, Fenway Park, one of the most vaunted in baseball, is home to the no longer cursed Red Sox, while football's Superbowl Champion Patriots reign supreme in Foxboro.
Harvard Square boasts bookstores, cafe chess players, street musicians and some of the most eclectic shopping in Boston. Harvard Square is where you might sit down for an afternoon with a cappucino and a thick novel, or where you might just walk around and let the crowds entertain you. There's no shortage of sights in this small, entertaining enclosed space.
Don’t miss visiting Boston Public Garden and the swan boats; Newbury Street with its boutiques and art galleries; the Italian North End with its old-world ambience; Beacon Hill, with its gas lamps and Yankee Federal architecture, Louisburg Square mansions and the gold-domed State House; and the South End, with its Victorian row houses.
If it's culinary excellence you desire, make a beeline for the fabulous French fare of Radius. Or meander through the campus of the country's preeminent university, Harvard, in Cambridge en route to celebrity chef Jody Adams's Rialto. For a hometown specialty, dine on fresh chowder at Turner Fisheries, then head to the Cask 'n' Flagon bar near Fenway for a cold pint and a chat with Boston's finest feature: its people.
Faneuil Hall and Harvard Square are well lit and filled with patrons of the many bars and restaurants. There is dancing, a game of pool here and there, and lots of music everywhere for every taste. Irish music, sounds of the Middle East, alternative rock, jazz, salsa, and meringue to name a few.
“Take a hike” in Boston can mean anything from a romantic stroll on The Charles River Esplanade to a try at winning the Boston Marathon. Wherever your hike takes you, there are incredible sights to see: Beacon Hill, with its old brick sidewalks and Federal bow-front architecture; Cambridge's Brattle Street, which runs from Harvard Square past stately Tory-era mansions; the Commonwealth Avenue Mall from the Public Garden to Kenmore Square; and the walking paths through the Arnold Arboretum.
Boston is a favorite with families. There is the New England Aquarium with its huge, two-story-high fish tank; the lowland gorillas at the Franklin Park Zoo; the interactive exhibits of the Children's Museum; the displays, the giant-screen Omni Theater, and the planetarium at the Museum of Science. Year round activities include skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating. Spring and summer bring white water rafting, mountain climbing, hang gliding, kayaking, surfing, hiking, and windsurfing. Only a few miles outside Boston are some outstanding seaside spots that are clean, beautiful, and accessible.

There is a wealth of historically significant attractions in Boston. Consider purchasing a 'Boston City Pass' and thereby pay half price for most of the finest attractions.
Freedom Trail: The Freedom Trail is one of the most popular walking tours in America. It covers approximately three miles and is very easy to follow. Park rangers give 90-minute guided walking tours of the Freedom Trail, which includes more than a dozen historic sites such as Paul Revere's house, the site of the Boston Massacre and the USS Constitution. The path is marked by painted red lines or bricks set into the pavement. Each site is identified by a marker or sign. The trail follows the original path set by the colonists in the early days of Boston. Most of the Trail is accessible only on foot for this reason. The Trail is best started either at Boston Common or at the USS Constitution (where there is free parking). The easiest way is to leave the car behind and take the subway (T) red or green line to Park Street.
