Trip plan
Day 1
Leave your school in the morning for Massachusetts to arrive in Boston in the afternoon. Take the time to stretch your legs by discovering the Freedom Trail from Bunker Hill to Faneuil Hall. In the North End portion of this popular historical tour, you will discover some of the city’s oldest buildings as well as historic sites, including the Paul Revere House and the Old North Church. The North End, nicknamed “Little Italy”, is not lacking in charm with its cobbled streets, small parks and numerous cafes, restaurants and shops. This walk will undoubtedly make students hungry, so they will surely enjoy the food and the vibe at the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. Then take some time to stroll and window shop at Quincy Market before heading to your hotel. Meal included: dinner.

This lively tour, popular with traveling students in Boston, will introduce you to several of the city’s significant places. End the afternoon with a visit at the prestigious Harvard University in the company of your tour guide. If the Red Sox are in town, why not catch a baseball game at the legendary Fenway Park in the evening? Or a performance of the very entertaining Blue Man Group? These blue percussionists are completely frantic, visually stunning and musically powerful. Return to your hotel at the end of the activity. Meals included: breakfast and dinner.
