An off-beat look at Boston

Boston is an interesting city that has much to offer her visitors. One of the best ways to seeing Boston, and moving around, is with a bus chartered from Bus Charters Boston. While Boston is famous for its history and usual tourist spots, she has some hidden gems and quirky sights to delight and surprise you.
If you’re bored with seeing a city sitting in the usual tourist bus, try something different. Try seeing Boston with a DUKW. What’s that you ask? A DUKW, colloquially known as a “Duck”, is an amphibious vehicle developed during the Second World War for the D-Day landings in Normandy. Able to both drive on land, and navigate through water, the Duck was instrumental in landing soldiers and supplies on shore in the shortest possible time.
Duck tours in Boston are an excellent way to see the city. Narrated by a con’DUCK’tor, you will be taken on a journey covering the famous historical sites in Boston. Your conDUCKtor will provide you with a background on the history of Boston, and some of its famous buildings and people. Just when you think that’s all there is, the Duck will drive straight into the Charles River, giving you a view of the shore and buildings of Boston and Cambridge that most tourists never see.
For a spooky night out walking in Boston, take the rented charter bus for the Ghosts and Gravestones Sightseeing Tour. A Trolley bus takes you through the streets of Boston late in the night, where you will hear the history of the “other” Boston. A guide in costume will entertain you with tales of dastardly practices over the course of 400 years of Boston history. Cemetery visits, scenes of gruesome murders and more await you on this spooky tour.
If you have a sweet tooth, try one of the four tours on offer from Boston Chocolate Tours. This walking tour takes you to visit some of the most famous chocolatiers, dessert shops and bakeries in Boston. Along the way, your guide will narrate to you the history of chocolate making in Boston, how to appreciate fine chocolate, and the finer points on the art of chocolate making.
A recent addition to the Boston Chocolate Tour is the Great Boston Cupcake Tour. This 2.5 hour walking tour takes you to some of the best premier bakeries Boston has to offer. Along the way, you will visit some of Boston’s most famous and historical landmarks, and learn about the history of the cupcake, and how it made its way to Boston. The Great Boston Cupcake Tour is held on Saturdays and Sundays by reservation only.
