What's the average duration of multi-day tours starting from Boston?

Most tours from Boston last between 7 and 15 days with 14-15 day trips being the most common choice for travelers wanting to see New England properly. The first few days focus on Boston's key sites like Harvard University Fenway Park and Quincy Market. Then tours move on to places like Salem and Cape Cod. For example the Classic New England tour spends two days in Boston before heading to coastal Maine. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The 15-day duration was perfect - enough time to really experience Boston's history and culture before exploring the rest of New England's charm."

What are the common starting locations within Boston for these tours?

Tour departures are centered around key downtown hotels including the Hyatt Regency Boston Holiday Inn Boston Bunker Hill Area and The Royal Sonesta Boston. These starting points give easy access to major sites like Faneuil Hall Boston Common and the Freedom Trail. The Downtown/Back Bay area serves as a convenient hub as one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Located in the heart of downtown just steps away from Boston's icons including Newbury Street Fenway Park and numerous restaurants at the Prudential Centre."

What are the most popular day trips from Boston included in multi-day tours?

Day trips from Boston take travelers to historic Plymouth to see Plimoth Patuxet Museums and the Mayflower II which is a 1-hour drive away. Other popular stops include Salem's witch trial sites (45 minutes from Boston) and the Revolutionary War locations in Lexington/Concord (30 minutes away). As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The day trip to Plymouth from Boston was fascinating - seeing the Mayflower II and learning about colonial history from our guide made it come alive."

What seasonal considerations should I keep in mind when starting a tour from Boston?

The main tour season runs May through October. Fall colors peak in September-October making these months especially busy. Summer tours from June to August offer good weather for coastal activities while May brings smaller crowds and mild temperatures. A TourRadar traveler notes: "We chose September for our tour starting in Boston and the weather was perfect - warm days cool nights and beautiful early fall colors starting to show."

What transportation options are available from Boston Logan Airport to tour starting points?

Getting from Logan Airport to downtown takes 15-20 minutes by taxi ($25-35) or ride-share. The MBTA Silver Line subway runs free from the airport to South Station. Many hotels provide their own airport shuttles. A TourRadar traveler suggests: "The taxi from Logan to our downtown Boston hotel was quick and straightforward though the subway is a cheaper option if you're not carrying much luggage."

What dining experiences are typically included in the first days of tours starting in Boston?

Tours often begin with a New England seafood dinner at historic spots like Union Oyster House or Legal Sea Foods. Many itineraries include food walks through Boston's Italian North End or Quincy Market. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "Our welcome seafood dinner in Boston was excellent - fresh lobster and the chance to meet our fellow travelers made it special."
