Boston History 5-Day Itinerary
Available Year Round - Starting from $2,365 per guest
Step into the birthplace of American independence on this five-day immersive experience through historic Boston and beyond. You’ll walk the Freedom Trail with a private guide, stand where revolutionaries sparked change, and toss tea overboard at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. Enjoy a harbor cruise with sweeping views of historic landmarks, and explore the Old North Church after hours—just like Paul Revere did, but with fewer redcoats. Then, travel back even further in time with a private day trip to Plimoth Patuxet. It’s history that doesn’t just speak to you—it invites you to live it.
