Boston and Beyond

Day 1

This morning we begin our exciting Massachusetts vacation. With stops for rest and lunch enroute, we will arrive in Woburn, MA, the location of our lodging for the next three evenings. Dinner will be included at a local restaurant tonight.

Day 2

After breakfast at the hotel, we will meet our local guide for a day of touring. Today starts with a visit to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. The museum at the Kennedy Library captures the powerful story of the Kennedy years, giving you an uplifting, first-hand experience of President Kennedy's life, leadership and legacy. This afternoon is free for lunch and shopping at Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market. Later, we will have a personal "Colonial Character" guide us through the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. The museum features full-scale replicas, artifacts and interactive elements. Meet "Sam Adams" and participate in the re-enactment of the destruction of the tea. Board a tall ship and marvel at one of only two known surviving tea crates. After an early dinner, we will enjoy a beautiful view of the Harbor Islands, Boston skyline and historic sites on a Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise.

Day 3

This morning after breakfast, we will meet our guide for a day of touring north of the city. First, we will enjoy a self-guided tour of Hammond Castle. Here you can explore the many rooms, as well as enjoy the beauty of the grounds and the view of the Atlantic shoreline. Lunch will be included at a local restaurant. We will then travel through the seaside towns of Gloucester and Rockport. Rockport is the town where The Proposal, starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, was filmed. This town was used as Sitka, Alaska in the film. Gloucester is homeport to many of the boats in the National Geographic series Wicked Tuna and was also made famous by the feature film A Perfect Storm starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg. After some free time for shopping and exploring the galleries in Rockport, we will return to the hotel. Dinner will be included at a local restaurant this evening.

Day 4

This morning after breakfast, we will head to a behind-the-scenes tour of Fenway Park. See the Green Monster, press box, Red Sox Hall of Fame Club, and more. We will then depart for home. With stops for lunch and rest enroute, arrival home is scheduled for mid-evening.

Tips for Perkiomen motorcoach drivers and tour escorts are not included in the price of this tour. We feel that these gratuities should be extended on an individual basis and dictated by the level of service provided.

Motorcoach seating is assigned at the time of reservation but cannot be guaranteed. Although we do our best to keep each traveler in the seat assigned at the time of reservation, there are times that it is necessary to move seat locations. Please be sure to verify your final seat number(s) with your driver at the time of boarding. Historically, daily seat rotation was practiced on most multi-day tours. We have suspended this practice for a period of time. Seat rotation will be explained by your driver or tour escort if reinstated.
