4th of July in Boston

Day 1

Sit back and relax as we depart for our holiday-themed getaway to Boston. Stops for rest & lunch on our own will be made on the way to pick up our local guide and head to View Boston. View Boston is a 3-story observatory that sits on top of the Prudential Center, one of the tallest buildings in the city. It offers a 360-degree view of the city that you may view from inside the building or on their open-air roof deck. View Boston offers an open doors immersive theatre, an indoor 3D model of the city with projection mapping, a restaurant offering alcoholic beverages, and a gift shop. Afterwards, we will enjoy dinner at a local restaurant before heading to our hotel for check-in.

Day 2

This morning we will meet our local guide and travel to Boston Harbor for a 2.5-hour cruise on the harbor while enjoying a buffet luncheon (brunch) and musical entertainment. We will then head to the JFK Library and Museum where we will get a first-hand experience of President Kennedy's life, leadership, and legacy as we tour on our own. Afterward, we will return to the hotel to freshen up before dinner on our own. A folding camping chair will be provided by our driver that you may set up outside on the bank of the Charles River to enjoy the evening's Fireworks Spectacular! Please be aware that you are responsible for taking the chair back to the motorcoach.

Day 3

We will start the day with breakfast at the hotel. Then we'll meet our local guide for a narrated driving tour of Historic Boston. We'll see Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Boston Common, the Old Statehouse, and parts of the Freedom Trail. Next, we will visit the Charlestown Navy Yard - home to the USS Constitution and USS Cassin Young warships. You can go to the Visitor Center, USS Constitution Museum, and both warships (subject to availability). We will then stop for free time and lunch on our own at Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market. For over 250 years the marketplace has played an integral role in the life of Boston's residents. You will feel cobblestones beneath your feet, see roaming performers, shop the local artisans, and be able to taste the wonderfully diverse ethnic foods available to you. With stops for rest and dinner enroute, arrival home will be later this evening.

Please Be Aware

A valid federal or state-issued ID or passport is required for entry to the Charlestown Navy Yard.

Our intention is to run each tour as originally planned and published. However, if deemed necessary to do so, Perkiomen Tours reserves the right to make changes to tour components, schedules or itineraries without prior notification.

Tips for Perkiomen motorcoach drivers and tour escorts are not included in the price of this tour. We feel that these gratuities should be extended on an individual basis and dictated by the level of service provided.

Motorcoach seating is assigned at the time of reservation but cannot be guaranteed. Although we do our best to keep each traveler in the seat assigned at the time of reservation, there are times that it is necessary to move seat locations.

We have suspended this practice for a period of time. Seat rotation will be explained by your driver or tour escort if reinstated.
