Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 0.5 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Boston instead of crossing town between them. The Paul Revere House is the reservation to lock in first; the stops around it can flex by half an hour without breaking the plan. It finishes at The Paul Revere House — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples and solo who want a planned Boston outing without improvising between stops.
