Hi KMA,





It looks as if you%26#39;re out of luck with the majority of these tours because they%26#39;re seasonal and ended this past weekend unfortunately. May be rent a car and explore that way? Hopefully you have a good week for it though, you might not like driving in the snow coming here from Baton Rouge!





It%26#39;s the beginning of the Holiday season; you%26#39;re going to enjoy your stay in Boston, wait until you see all the lights every where, it%26#39;s such a pretty time of year to be here!





Have fun!

Best thing to do is stay in downtown like the Parker House.



They are on the Freedom Trail,Irish Heritage Trail and Literary Trail



There are also packages available too like



Holiday shopping in Harvard Sq we recently noticed and they also have a chocolate tour each year which should be starting soon. We love the location and stay there as its a great value and very Boston Historic experience/




There is a tour of the North End shops and restaurants during the daytime about 10am or so. I%26#39;ll post when I find the specifics!




Thanks everyone for all and any advice. We will be staying at the Colonnade since my husband is there for a conference. I will be on my own most of the time. I know I want to do the freedom trail, if the weather cooperates.




Also check the website the The Wang Center and the Emerson Majestic Theatre. They will be getting their holiday themed shows in order that week. Perhaps you can take in a matinee. Tours and things tend to end when the warm weather does. You can still take a trolley tour as the vehicles have heat in them as far as I know.




You may want to check out these Christmas events:





December 鈥?Newberry Street Holiday Stroll (Dec. 1). Winterlights Festival (Dec. 4-5), a two-day event in the Prudential Center with carolers and bell ringers, entertainment, etc.





Details available at the Greater Boston Visitor%26#39;s Convention %26amp; Visitor%26#39;s Bureau. 1-888-SEE BOSTON; or www.bostonusa.com.




The trolley tours operate all year long



The duck tours stop but the trolley tours are longer and more in debth on the historic sites and wider area to be seen






Good morning KMA,





Bus Tours have ended for the season unfortunately. You can still purchase a Go Boston Card though and tour around the City if that%26#39;s what you were referring to at the time?





Check this site out...





www.GoBostonCard.com





They%26#39;re having a Sale right now you can save 15% on 2, 3, 5 %26amp; 7 day cards for a limited time. The Sale ends Tuesday November 15th only on this particular site here mentioned! So check it out before you%26#39;re arrival!





It%26#39;s still pretty good to have one even though you don%26#39;t get bus tours out of the City with it! You get unlimited Boston Sightseeing including a 2 day trolley pass, Museum admissions, historic sites, you save up to 20% on shopping and 20% on dining.





It%26#39;s well worth it. You can either have it shipped to you now or you can pick it up in town at the redemption centers listed on their site.





Some of the attractions are seasonal but there%26#39;s still a lot to see and do and it%26#39;s well worth looking in to purchasing this card.





Good luck and have a great trip!
