Kennedy Tour: "Ask not what Boston can do for you, but what you can do in Boston."

The tour also stops by the Omni Parker House Hotel, the oldest hotel in America, where JFK proposed to Jackie Bouvier and even had his bachelor party. For more fascinating anecdotes, you will have to take the tour yourself!

With nine stops in total, the Kennedy Tour of Boston gives great insight into the evolution of the most revered Irish-American family in Boston. This tour not only serves as a great history lesson on the Kennedy’s, but expounds on much of the Irish-American history in Boston itself. Overall, this tour is extremely informative and entertaining; great for locals and tourists alike.

The Kennedy Tour of Boston costs $12 for adults, $10 for seniors/students, and $6 for military personnel (children 12 and under are free). The tour leaves from the Boston Common every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 11:30 AM. Participants also get $2 off admission to the JFK library with a Kennedy Tour of Boston ticket stub.
