Highlights

This full day private tour combines some of the best coastal views in the region with Pilgrim history. First stop focuses on the Presidential history of John Adams and then for something completely different we swing by the first Dunkin' Donuts (how's that for random). Then it's sit back and enjoy the views, through south of Boston towns Hingham, Cohasset, Scituate and Duxbury. There's some great photo opps along the shoreline that you won't be able to resist. Next onto Plymouth and it's Pilgrim history as well as it's own lovely ocean views. This is a break from your city break. We pick up and drop back to downtown Boston, will stop for lunch along the way (not included in price of tour) and will make sure you have a calm and relaxed day.

About Boston

Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, is a compact harbour city of colonial history, red-brick streets, universities and seafood on the New England coast.

Boston was founded in 1630 and played a central part in the American Revolution, and its Freedom Trail, a red line on the pavement, links sixteen sites across the old centre, from Boston Common to Charlestown. Beacon Hill has gas lamps, cobbled streets and brick row houses, while the North End, the old Italian quarter, has the Old North Church and the Paul Revere House.
