I was in Boston a month ago on the New England in the fall tour. It's a lovely city. Plenty to see and do, and some great places to eat. I have done six JY tours now, as a "mature" widow( don't want to give my age away). Have usually been with nice groups, and always found several like minded people to hang out with. A shorter tour would be ideal to check out JY. If you decide to go for it, have a wonderful time
