Overview

This full day private tour combines some of the best coastal views in the region with Pilgrim history.

First stop focuses on the Presidential history of John Adams and then for something completely different we swing by the first Dunkin' Donuts (how's that for random).

Then it's sit back and enjoy the views, through south of Boston towns Hingham, Cohasset, Scituate and Duxbury. There's some great photo opps along the shoreline that you won't be able to resist.

Next onto Plymouth and it's Pilgrim history as well as it's own lovely ocean views.

This is a break from your city break. We pick up and drop back to downtown Boston, will stop for lunch along the way (not included in price of tour) and will make sure you have a calm and relaxed day.
