Joining a tour group doesn\u2019t have to mean fighting for elbow space. Instead, look into small group tours for seniors that offer a more intimate experience.<\/p>\n

For example, check out the Total Boston Small Group Day Tour With a Local Guide<\/strong><\/a>. Though it\u2019s open for all ages, this tour is small enough that you can interact with your guide. You can ask all your burning questions and make friends along the way. You’ll dig into the food scene in the North End, explore Faneuil Hall, and admire the city’s architecture. And if you’re lucky, you just may bowl a strike at the neighborhood bowling alley!<\/p>\n

During your stay, book one of the hotels in Boston<\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/center> <\/p>\n

AARP Senior Bus Tours<\/h2>\n

Bus tours are a great way to explore a new place, without having to hoof it all around town all day.<\/p>\n

Sit back and relax as you discover the Emerald City. This 3-Hour Seattle City Tour<\/strong><\/a> is one you won\u2019t want to miss while you\u2019re in town. The mini-bus only seats 14, so you\u2019ll get the VIP experience. Cruise around town, and hear all about the hidden gems and stories of the city. After receiving an insider\u2019s perspective, you’ll walk away knowing Seattle like a local. (Though this tour is open to travelers of all ages, that doesn’t mean you can’t get all your friends on board!)<\/p>\n
