For a great view of the city (especially at night) go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris. It also offers a great vantage point for viewing the water show at the Bellagio.
The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
I took a backpack on a European winter hotel tour. It was really useful to walk up the stairs to my room...It was also good to carry my luggage from bus to hotel...
