We checked out its historic sites, ate delicious local foods, toured Fenway Park and went to a Red Sox game, got to be a part of the Boston Tea Party, and so much more.

Finley Park tour!!! Even if you're not a sports fan!!! In fact especially if you are not a sports fan 😉
Within 2.45 minutes of watching this video (my first one of yours) I’ve liked and subscribed. The way Kathryn explained the history of the lanterns (concisely, just enough to serve those interested but not too much for those who aren’t). The fact that you chose to approach the city by sea was just cherry on top. As a Londoner over the years, I’ve settled on that same approach when introducing my city to friends from abroad, come up the Thames like the Romans did.
What can I say, you’ve got something special here guys. New fan registered.
All tourists need to visit bpl
I already left a comment, but just finished the video…I had to add that your Boston accent at the end is amazing, most actors I movies butcher it, but honestly that was very impressive…No, it was Wicked Pissah!! 😂
Love this! Grew up in the Boston area, live in NH now for the past 4 years, but Boston is always Home! ❤
I’m from here and I totally loved this. We don’t have time to do the tea party boat and that stuff. Meanwhile, in case they didn’t mention it, they dressed up like Native Americans as a trick,
Américain dream
Ilove boston
Very nice people
Wonderful world
I’m in nyc. I’m making my way to Acadia . And I’m skipping Boston . Maybe might stop at Fenway On my way home . Is it worth a a full days trip ?
Biston is a very cold city! Why don't you show us Boston under the show?❤
My profile picture is me in the dugout at Fenway Park!
I lived in South Boston the first 28 years of my life and still learning new history between that beautiful city!
Great episode, thanks for sharing
Boston is one of my favorite cities! I wanted to visit Mike’s pastry’s but I ran out of time, there is so much too see!!
I've been commuting into Boston from the suburbs for 30+ years now… You both picked two really great places : Hook Lobster and Umberto Galleria. amazing spots. Flour bakery… meh…. Boston doesn't have great bakeries and Flour is just ok. Modern Pastry is orders of magnitude better quality than the tourist trap Mike's Pastry.
There's no new state house.
Boston is THE BEST from it’s food to history and especially the sports teams and fans!! 💯🥳🥳 Yes I’m bias but show me where the lie is 😏
The itallian section was wonderful,& the aquarium!
I'm actually planning to take trip to Boston, I'm all the way from California. So it's going to be a huge culture/environment shock lol. I'm still excited.
Awesome video, going to Boston July 2025😊
And the Red Sox dig. Must be a Skankee fan:)
These videos amuse me. I've lived here my entire life and haven't been to half these places (Never been to the North end) and I just did the tea party last year with my niece and nephew who wanted to do it. And I still need that duck boat 🙂
We are here for a Boston Tours!! ❤
only 2 days ? you must stay
Such a nice video, thank you. Which month of the year did you visit the beautiful city?
Ferry is seasonal
This rocks
My friend is running the Boston Marathon this year! And covering the race as a journalist!!!❤
Gloomy, cold and uninteresting!!!
Bravo 👏
I love Boston 💚 Greetings from a grateful Colombian now retired and living in the Andean mountains. Go Sox! Go Celtics! Go Bruins! Go Pats!
Paul Revere never said "The British are coming." We were ALL British. He said the "regulars" were coming, i.e. the regulars as opposed to the militia. Every village had armed militia.
I moved here from Ohio 33 years (!) ago because I was bored. Never looked back. The most walkable, European city in the U.S. I haven't had a car in 5 years. No need. Thanks for this video‼ cute couple~
Boston, you're my home!!!
Putin, Terror, BSW, flüchtlinge
are you allowed to take small backpacks on the fenway tour?
Fenway is not only the oldest baseball park in America but it's also the oldest functioning sports arena. The second oldest functioning sports arean was the Rome coliseum. Which was active for 100 years.
You guys did such a great job on my city I’m subbed and all in! Thank you! Can’t wait to see more places through your eyes!
