A beautiful weekend in Boston


It might be only two days out of your life but a weekend in Boston is a rental tour bus destination almost 400 years in the making. Whether you're traveling by yourself or with family, there's not only a history lesson waiting for you around every corner but a wide variety of cosmopolitan restaurants, unique shops and beautifully landscaped public parks for strolls, picnics and bike rides. Plan a visit to Boston with the services of a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus rented from Rental Tour Bus.
Take yourself on a self-guided tour of Boston's most significant historic landmarks by following the red painted line on the sidewalk that wends through the city. The Freedom Trail takes approximately three hours to walk longer if you linger at every attraction along the way and includes sights such as the Old North Church, Paul Revere's House, the site of the Boston Massacre, and the USS Constitution. Hop on/hop off trolley tours are available if you'd prefer riding to walking. Kids will enjoy the Boston Duck Tours, taken on World War II amphibious vehicles that go from land straight into the Charles River. If it's a hair-raising adventure you're seeking after dark while on a Boston rental tour bus visit, the Ghosts and Gravestones tour won't disappoint.
Grab your camera and explore Beantown's distinctive neighborhoods with your rental tour bus, such as Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Cambridge, the North End, Chinatown and Fort Point. In addition to ethnic eateries, bookstores, museums and antique shops, you'll find period architecture homes that are open for public tours. Of particular note is the Nichols House Museum on Mt. Vernon Street, one of many designed in the early 19th century by Charles Bulfinch. Bulfinch also was the designer of the Massachusetts State House.
Entertainment options abound in Boston during your rental tour bus visit. Enjoy an evening of music by the Boston Pops or the Boston Symphony Orchestra, catch a performance of the Boston Ballet, or take your pick of classics, Broadway musicals and new theatrical works at venues such as the Shubert Theatre, the American Repertory Theatre, The Wang Center for the Performing Arts, the Colonial Theatre, and The Lyric Stage. While Boston nightlife is more subdued than other cities of comparable size, wine bars, comedy clubs, hotel cocktail lounges, and neighborhood pubs and oyster bars offer a pleasant venue to unwind. Many of the lounges and wine bars offer live music on weekends featuring up-and-coming local musicians. Boston also is where you'll find the Bull and Finch Pub, the original bar that inspired the set of "Cheers." After you scarf down a "Norm Burger," grab the microphone for some karaoke.
Boston is sure not to disappoint when you visit with a rental tour bus, with the help of Rental Tour Bus. Take the time to organize your rental tour bus trip with Rental Tour Bus, and enjoy a fun filled and fuss free weekend in Boston.
