Thinking about gifting the Boston History and Innovation Tour!

Hey everyone! I’m considering this tour as a gift for my history-loving brother. He’s in NYC and would love a day trip. I love that it includes Harvard and MIT, but how's the lunch option? Is there a good place nearby? Also, is the Freedom Trail walking part really exhausting? Any tips would help!

Just got back from the Boston tour! Worth it!

I just did the Boston 1-Day History and Innovation Tour and wow, it was fantastic! The guide was super knowledgeable and having lunch at the Prudential Center was a treat. The views from View Boston are breathtaking! Just be ready for a lot of walking on the Freedom Trail, but it’s all part of the experience!
