What your day looks like

This Massachusetts bundle contains the following tours: Harvard Square Boston Freedom Trail Boston Harborwalk Boston Ghosts Salem Witch Trials Plymouth Cape Cod & Provincetown Cape Ann Battle of Lexington Martha’s Vineyard Every single brick of Harvard’s storied campus is steeped in history. Hear how the school got its start and how it evolved from a tiny college into one of the most prestigious institutions in the world. You’ll also see dorms where famous alumni lived and learn the legends behind key landmarks! Then, head to the Freedom Trail to walk in the shoes of our Founding Fathers. Hear how the first sparks of revolution flew in Boston and how those sparks became an inferno! The revolution comes alive as you pass sights like the church where Paul Revere’s famous lanterns once hung. Next, 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 and visit the site of the Boston Tea Party! Then, take a look beyond the veil at Boston’s supernatural side. Boston is full of ghost stories, and this tour takes you to all the most haunted spots. Walk through graveyards, execution sites, and more while hearing hair-raising tales of the unquiet dead. After that, head to Salem, home to more harrowing history. Learn the truth behind the infamous Witch Trials as you walk down cobblestone streets. Meet the innocent victims of the panic which swept over this sleepy town, and meet the men responsible for the senseless killings. Turn the clock back even further in Plymouth, the town founded by Pilgrims fresh off the Mayflower. See where they first landed, hear how they organized their system of government, and revisit the complicated dynamic between those newcomers and the Wampanoag tribe. Next, drive out to Cape Cod, where colonial history collides with the funky present. Cruise past unblemished coastline and historic villages that have made the Cape a must-see destination for generations. Then visit P-Town, a thriving hotspot for artists and bohemians! Keep the trip going along Cape Ann’s beautiful coast. Explore towns like Gloucester and trace their rugged, seafaring history. Hear the tragic tale of the Perfect Storm, still felt by these communities today. Then cruise along a rocky shore dotted by splendid beaches, perfect for catching some sun and surf. Afterward, head to Lexington and Concord, site of the “shot heard ‘round the world.” Here, you’ll follow the route of an impossible battle between a ragtag American militia and the powerful British army. Find out how the Americans turned the tide, and what it meant in the fight for independence. Finally, retreat to the serenity of Martha’s Vineyard. Discover why this has long been a top destination among the rich and famous (including presidents)! Visit cute little towns, learn some surprising history, and just relax and soak up some rays.
