freedom50 Posted September 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2013 We will be staying precruise at the Hilton Logan airport. We would like to do some sightseeing in the afternoon, perhaps the duck tour or the Freedom Trail/Quincy market. Where would we best take a taxi to (street name etc.) for any of these tours, does anyone know a ballpark $ for the ride? Thanks for any info you can provide.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted September 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The duck tours pick up at the Museum of Science or at Copley Square (actually, I think there is a third location, but I'm not sure where). The Freedom Trail starts at the Boston Common. If you are staying at the airport, see if the Hilton shuttle driver can drop you at the T station. Take the Blue Line to Government Center, then transfer to a Green line train to Science Center or Copley (note, you don't say when you are coming, but the Government Center station is slated to close for renovation). For the Freedom Trail, take the Green Line to Park St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide directions to Fenway Park on the T line as well. Thanks again:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted September 17, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Green Line to Kenmore, follow the crowd. By May 2014, I expect that Government Center will be closed by then. I'm not sure of another Blue/Green transfer point. You can take the Blue Line to State Street, and transfer to the Orange Line, and there are spots there to transfer to Green, but its a ride. Also, keep in mind May is college graduation season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted September 18, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Green Line to Kenmore, follow the crowd. Green Line to Kenmore, yes, but only a "B", "C", or "D" train. There is no "A" line (poor Watertown) and the "E" train doesn't go close to the Fenway area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidaNaPraia Posted September 18, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2013 If you go to the www.mbta.com site, you can find a map of the whole system or individual lines, and also a "trip planner" into which you can type your departure point and end point and get bus/subway directions and map.
