Get ready for five unforgettable days in one of America’s most storied — and most fun — cities.

From private sightseeing tours through Boston’s legendary cobblestone streets to a full-day journey back to the 1600s at Plimoth Patuxent, every day is packed with wonder and hands-on excitement. Kids will hunt for hidden treasures along the Freedom Trail, explore the Museum of Science, throw “tea” into Boston Harbor, and ride the famous Duck Tour on land and water. History brought to life, curiosity rewarded at every turn — Boston is waiting.
This is a suggested itinerary — we can tailor it based on your group’s interests and pace.
