Daily Itinerary
Upon arrival in Boston, you’ll meet your Tour Manager.
After lunch, you will have free time to explore Quincy Market. Built in 1825, Quincy market was an indoor pavilion of vendor sales. The main Quincy Market building continues to be a source of food for Bostonians, though it now houses food-stalls, fast-food, and restaurants. It is a popular and busy lunchtime spot for downtown workers. In the center, surrounding the dome, is a two-story seating area.
Experience a signature historic experience in New England on the Freedom Trail. To preserve the story of the American Revolution, these sites are located along a unique 2.5 mile urban walking trail, marked with a bricked or painted red line. You’ll see Boston Common, the State House, the Granary Burial Ground and the site of the Boston Massacre.
You’ll visit the Old North Church located in Boston’s North End. Here, the signal from the steeple of Boston’s oldest church triggered the War for Independence. On that fateful night in 1775, the two lanterns in the steeple told Paul Revere that the British were approaching by boat, not on foot.
On the night of April 18, 1775, silversmith Paul Revere left his small wooden home in Boston’s North End and set out on a journey that would make him into a legend. Today that home is still standing at 19 North Square and has become a national historic landmark. It is downtown Boston’s oldest building and one of the few remaining from an early era in the history of colonial America.
After dinner, you will arrive at your hotel and check in.
After breakfast, you’ll board your bus and drive to the Salem Witch Museum where you’ll follow the history of witches, witchcraft and witch hunts through the ages. You also watch a presentation of the events of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.
You’ll venture on an unforgettable historical experience at the House of Seven Gables. Outside, spectacular seaside gardens await you. Inside of The House of the Seven Gables, also known as the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, you will discover a mysterious secret staircase where you least expect it! Built in 1668, this is the oldest surviving 17th century wooden mansion in New England. The House of the Seven Gables inspired author Nathaniel Hawthorne to write his legendary novel of the same name.
After lunch, you’ll have free time on Essex Street. Explore the historic cobblestone-and-brick street in the middle of downtown Salem that has been closed off to vehicle traffic. Here you’ll find dozens of attractions, museums, shops, restaurants, cafes, & more!
The Salem Witch Trials Memorial is designed to be a place of respect and reflection. Inscribed in the stone threshold entering the memorial are the victims’ protests of innocence. These protests are interrupted mid-sentence by the wall, symbolizing society’s indifference to oppression. The interior of the Memorial consists of 20 granite benches cantilevered from a low stone wall surrounding an area adjoining the Old Burying Point. The benches are inscribed with the name of the accused and the means and date of execution.
After dinner, you’ll experience the wonder of Blue Man Group with incredible performances, astounding music and outstanding art form. It’s science, it’s laughter, it’s that creative urge you feel inside and want to explore. Become part of the new Blue Man Group show from the minute you step inside the doors!
