Activity itinerary

South Station
  • 10m
Our historic tour begins at one of Boston's most underappreciated marvels of architecture: South Station. We'll take a moment to analyse the enormous eagle and clock dominating the facade. Note: This 1+mile-long tour covers the essentials of Harborwalk and Tea party in 1-1.5 hours.
Boston Harborwalk
  • 45m
The Harborwalk is 43 miles long, but we’ll focus on the historic Waterfront District from South Station to Long Wharf. That’s only about 1 mile. We’ll cover everything from the Boston Tea Party to the newest skyscrapers along the shore.
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston
  • 10m
Right across the street, we'll find a stunning example of modern architecture with the Federal Reserve. As we walk past, we'll learn the intriguing stories behind the bland name.
Atlantic Wharf
  • 10m
At Russia Wharf, we're officially at the start of our Harborwalk journey and our trip into the past. We'll learn about the booming international trade during the colonial era.... the foundation which would later lead to the epic Boston Tea Party.
Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
As we walk along Boston's Harborwalk, we'll look out across the water for a glimpse of an actual blast from the past: a colonial ship packed with tea crates! We'll learn about the events of Boston's Tea Party but we'll also dive deeper: what really caused this riot? Why were taxes so high? What did a far-away international war have to do with the price of tea in Boston?
Rowes Wharf
  • 10m
Our journey brings us to Rowe's Wharf — named for one of the tea smugglers who encouraged the "Tea Party"! We'll learn about John Rowe and his adventures with the law as we walk through.
The Marina at Rowes Wharf
  • 10m
The Harbour Hotel is a stunning piece of architecture, blending modern and colonial styles seamlessly. Its 80-foot copper dome contains a glass cupola. If you walk to the centre of the archway and look straight up, you can see all the through the top of the dome to the glass cupola above.
John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse
  • 10m
As we continue our walk along Boston's Harborwalk, our journey back in time takes us from the Boston Tea Party into a more recent era. As we walk, we'll admire the beautiful Moakley Courthouse across the water and learn about its significance to the city and its people.
Harbor Towers
  • 10m
The Brutalist-style Harbour Towers are unmissable. Brutalism was all the rage in the 1970s. Today, the style polarizes observers. Some people see a kind of strange beauty in the sparse, overbearing structures. Others see, well, just plain ugly buildings! These days, you can always identify the style anywhere by its grim, fortress-like appearance. We'll learn about the towers, Boston's struggle between affordable and luxury living, and one of the city's most ambitious projects: cleaning up this very harbour.
New England Aquarium
  • 10m
We're now approaching a popular stop in Boston and along the Harborwalk: the Aquarium! This huge attraction is partially built over the Harbour, allowing the aquarium access to the natural environment of Boston's Harbour.
Long Wharf
  • 10m
Our tour along the scenic Harborwalk ends at one of Boston's most historic spots: Long Wharf. From colonial battles against the British to modern crowds of tourists, this Wharf remains a Boston hotspot. Enjoy the views and history as we conclude our storey at this scenic stop.
