A Dickensian Adventure on the Holiday Sights & Festive Nights Trolley Tour:

Our journey begins with a “Dickens of an adventure.” As we traverse the city, you’ll learn about Christmas in the time of the Colonists and even Charles Dickens’ stay at the Omni Parker House. See how contemporary Boston celebrates the festive season.

Boston Common:
Make a stop at the Boston Common, where the magic of the holidays comes to life. You’ll witness our famous ice-skating rink and discover the fascinating history behind Boston’s annual Christmas tree from Halifax, Nova Scotia. This is a fantastic opportunity for a family photo that captures the holiday spirit.

Charles Street:
Relax as we take you down Charles Street, one of Boston’s most historic thoroughfares. Let its elegant decorations transport you to holidays of the past. Learn about the renowned writers and artists who called this street home and even the Royal family’s Christmas stroll in the winter of 2022.
