Explore the history of Boston by going on the Secret Tour of Boston’s North End. You and your dog are welcome to learn the many secrets of this historic area. The two-hour tour begins in Old North Square across from Paul Revere’s house. There are only four buildings on the tour where dogs are not allowed inside.

Cruise around this coastal city by hopping on a ferry with Bay State Cruise Company. Ferry rides are about 60-90 minutes and go from Boston to Provincetown on Cape Cod. Your dog is allowed to join, but must remain leashed at all times. If it’s a dog specific tour you are looking for, check out City Water Taxi’s Island Romp for Dogs. This Saturday canine tour goes to Boston Harbor Island, where after the 25-minute ride your dog can run around the island.

Make sure to check out Harvard Square Shopping Center, a 1630s colonial village that was transformed to a lively shopping, dining and cultural center. Friendly dogs are more than welcome to venture throughout the square, but it will be up to individual stores to decide if your dog can go in.

With all there is to explore in Boston, you and your dog will need a place to rest your weary feet and paws. Make sure to book one of the many dog-friendly Choice Hotels® properties in the Boston, MA area. Choice Hotels offers affordable accommodations you and your dog will enjoy.
