What to expect

Immerse yourself in the ship-rigging, ale-drinking, shanty-singing days of Colonial Boston on Boston’s Harborwalk and revisit the fiery leadup to the American Declaration of Independence. Admire gorgeous harbor views as we recount the city’s tumultuous past where you can check out the site of the Boston Tea Party and learn how the pivotal event came about, and what it meant for the future of America!

Head over to the Freedom Trail to take a walk in the shoes of the Founding Fathers. Hear the story of how the first sparks of revolution flew in Boston, and how those sparks became an inferno that engulfed the American colonies! The architects of the revolution come alive along this historic trail as you pass sights like the Boston Common and the Old North Church, where Paul Revere’s famous lanterns once hung. It’s revolutionary history like you’ve never heard it before!

Next up on the agenda is the lovely town of Cambridge where you can the gorgeous Harvard University, one of the most famous and beautiful academic institutions in the world! Just about every single brick of this storied campus is steeped in history, and we’re here to bring all that history to the surface for you. Hear the story of Harvard’s beginnings way back in the 1600s, and how it evolved from a tiny college into one of the most prestigious institutions in the world.

It's time to get your nature fix! Head over to the natural beauty of Cape Ann’s coastline. Explore quaint towns like Gloucester and trace their history from the time of Pilgrims to their days as gritty fishing towns full of rugged sailors plying their dangerous trade. Listen to the shocking and tragic tale of the Perfect Storm, which still reverberates through these communities today.

Finally, drive out to Cape Cod, where colonial history collides with the funky Provincetown. Cruise past gorgeous beaches and historic villages and marvel at the unblemished coastline that has made the Cape a must-see destination for generations. Uncover the peninsula’s rich seafaring history, from the Mayflower to the picturesque lighthouses which dot the coast. Visit what the locals call P-Town, a thriving hotspot for artists and bohemians which shrugs off the heavy cloak of history and fully embraces the bright, colorful present!
