Boston's Fourth of July

Boston's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular

Saturday, July 4 - Sunday, July 5

Join us to celebrate the Fourth of July in Boston! The history of Boston is deeply rooted in the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence, and therefore the city is a special place to spend the Fourth of July - especially for its 250th Anniversary!

DAY 1 - We'll meet our local guide at Commonwealth Pier to board the Spirit of Boston Harbor Cruise Ship for a 2 ½ hour USS Constitution turn-around cruise. Take in the view of Boston from the ship while enjoying Spirit Cruise's Bountiful Buffet Lunch and musical entertainment by their D.J. while cruising, experience the USS Constitution's 21 Gun Salute to the country as she reaches Fort Independence on Castle Island. Following our cruise, enjoy a guided tour of the Romanesque style First Church of Christ, built in 1894. It includes frescoes, mosaic work, marble floors, and stained glass windows. In the 1906 Byzantine Renaissance style church extension, find a soaring dome, seating for over 3,000 people, and one of the world's largest Aeolian-Skinner pipe organs. Just across the Christian Science Plaza we will explore the world famous Mapparium, a stunning three story-tall globe made of stained glass that is viewed from a 30-foot-long bridge through its interior. Afterwards, we'll check into our hotel, the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, located on the banks of the Charles River. Afterwards, set up an included folding camp chairs on the banks of the Charles River and people-watch while enjoying the warm evening breezes before the Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular! Speakers will be set up along the Charles so that you can listen to the Boston Pops concert. (L)

DAY 2 - After a full breakfast, we'll meet our guide for a morning of touring through Boston & Cambridge including a driving tour by Harvard University. If parking allows, you will be able to get off the coach at Harvard Yard. We'll visit Charlestown Navy Yard to see the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides), which is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. You'll have time to visit the Constitution Visitor's Center and the USS Constitution Museum ($15 admission not included), which includes a theatre, over 3,000 historical artifacts, interactive exhibits and gift shop.
