Explore historic Boston and perform to an array of music-loving audiences!

One of America's oldest cities (founded in 1630), Boston remains one of the country's most European in feel and played a key role in the American Revolution. The vibrant city centre is ideal for visiting ensembles; with venues such as Bolytson Plaza and Faneuil Hall Marketplace offering good instrumental options. Aside from these city centre concerts why not venture into 'Witch Country' and perform to the residents of Salem?

After working in the Travel Industry for over 30 years I have had the great fortune to work in many destinations and visit some amazing places. Travel is not just an experience – it is memories & knowledge. I love having the opportunity to create those memories for our groups. – Sarah Newman Music Tours Operations Manager

Don't take our word for it …

Do it!!! It’s our 3rd tour with Halsbury. They’ve all been good but this was the best. The hotel in Koenigswinter was the best any of the seven staff who went had used on a school trip by an absolute mile. The scenery, venues and everything else are amazing, and the coach journey isn’t too bad either. — Fernwood School , July 2018
