The fun begins as soon as you board your “DUCK”, a W.W.II style amphibious landing vehicle. First, you’ll be greeted by one of their legendary tour ConDUCKtors, who will be narrating your sightseeing tour of Boston. Then you’re off on a journey like you’ve never had before. And as the best of Boston unfolds before your eyes, your ConDUCKtor will be giving you lots of little-known facts and interesting insights about our unique and wonderful city. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, it’s time for “Splashdown” as your captain splashes your DUCK right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines, a view you just won’t get anywhere else.
Then we’ll walk across the street to Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Four great places in one location – Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market and South Market, all set around a cobblestone promenade where jugglers, magicians and musicians entertain the passers-by.
Dine at a restaurant or at one of the many outdoor cafes. In addition, you’ll find thirty international food merchants inside the Quincy Market Food Colonnade – the largest food hall in New England. So, stroll, shop, eat, laugh, wander, wonder, and explore it all.
After lunch, walk back across the street to the New England Aquarium, home to thousands of aquatic animals - from northern fur seals to giant Pacific octopus to little blue penguins. They also offer a wide range of exhibits, including the largest shark ray touch tank on the East Coast and the Giant Ocean Tank, a four-story coral reef home to Myrtle the green sea turtle and hundreds of other Caribbean animals.

So much to do, where to begin.
Next, we arrive in York Beach at Short Sands Beach, a small beach with calm waters. Take time to visit The Goldenrod, part restaurant, part ice cream parlor, part candy store, complete with huge taffy-stretching machine in the front window that the kids will love watching. They are famous for their saltwater taffy. Definitely pick up a box to take home for a souvenir. After the day ends, we will head back home. Trip goes rain or shine!

Hampton Beach, located in New Hampshire is easily the busiest beach in the state and where all the action is. The Atlantic Ocean is the main attraction with its clean water, miles of sandy beach and spruced up bathhouses. But there is so much more to do with a stroll along Ocean Avenue, where arcades, T-shirt stands, and souvenir shops elbow for space with fast-food joints, fried-dough vendors, and candy shops. So much to do, where to begin.
Next, we arrive in York Beach at Short Sands Beach, a small beach with calm waters. Take time to visit The Goldenrod, part restaurant, part ice cream parlor, part candy store, complete with huge taffy-stretching machine in the front window that the kids will love watching. They are famous for their saltwater taffy. Definitely pick up a box to take home for a souvenir. After the day ends, we will head back home. Trip goes rain or shine!

Our first stop is Len Libby Candies, a rare candy store where everything is still handmade. Walk past the endless variety of taffy, brittles, chocolate, and cookies to lock eyes with the real star of the show: Lenny, a life-sized chocolate moose.

There is also a whole corner dedicated to blueberries infused with honey, teas, chocolates, and even caramel popcorn.
Then we are off for a delicious lunch at DiMillo’s On the Water, serving the freshest seafood since 1954 aboard Maine’s only floating restaurant. Enjoy amazing views of the harbor from every table.

This true working boat carries passengers, mail, and freight to Little Diamond, Great Diamond, Long, Cliff and Chebeague Islands. As the oldest running service of its kind, their Mailboat run not only delivers the mail and other goods to islanders, it offers landlubbers a glimpse at the realities of island life and the opportunity to adventure along Maine’s rugged coastline. Please note there is no food onboard, but plenty of seats and a bathroom. Bring your favorite beverage/snack for the cruise and watch the crew load and unload the cargo; it’s always interesting. This is a terrific and inexpensive way to see the islands and get a feel for what living there is like, so hop onboard!

Enjoy a 3-course lunch aboard a restored 1920’s Pullman dining car as part of a 3.75-hour lunch, train, and riverboat sightseeing excursion. Let their attentive staff transport you back to an era when rail travel was king and eating in the “diner” was a delicious special occasion.
Upon boarding the dining car, you’ll savor a hot lunch that is prepared and cooked onboard. Travel aboard the train as it coasts along the lower Connecticut River Valley and delight in the beautiful sights while you finish your meal. Choose between Braised Porchetta (over mashed potatoes with gravy and seasonal roasted vegetables), Chicken Francaise (with white wine, lemon, butter, and fresh herbs served with fingerling potatoes), or Eggplant Rollatini (with whipped ricotta and fresh mozzarella served over angel hair). All entrees include garden salad and chef’s choice for dessert.
At Deep River Landing, transfer to the Becky Thatcher Riverboat for a cruise on the Connecticut River, bursting with lush scenery and historic sites, such as the famous Gillette Castle. Following your cruise, guests will reboard the train back to Essex Station and have time to visit the Gift Shop.

Ahoy! Welcome to the Real Pirates Museum, home to the only verified pirate treasure in the world! Real Pirates Salem recounts the real-life story of "Black Sam" Bellamy and his fabled beloved, Maria Hallett. Bellamy captained the Whydah Gally, a pirate ship which wrecked off Cape Cod in 1717. While his body was never found, tales of Maria cast her as a local witch following Bellamy's demise.

From lore to legendary find, see and touch the world’s only authenticated pirate treasure ever discovered – including coins, cannons and weapons recovered from the ocean floor by underwater explorer Barry Clifford. Just recently they had Josh Gates from Expedition Unknown filming some episodes for the Discovery Channel from the museum!

Begin the day at the Marble House, designed as a summer cottage for Alva and William Kissam Vanderbilt by the society architect Richard Morris Hunt. It was unparalleled in opulence for an American house when it was completed in 1892. Its temple-front portico, which also serves as a porte-cochère, resembles that of the White House. It was a social landmark that helped spark the transformation of Newport from a relatively relaxed summer colony of wooden houses to the now legendary resort of opulent stone palaces. The 50-room mansion required a staff of 36 servants, including butlers, maids, coachmen, and footmen.
Then enjoy lunch at the Brick Alley Pub. Choose between the Baked Lobster Mac N’ Cheese, Chicken Parmigiana, Forever Braised Boneless Short Ribs, Simply Baked New England Cod, Brick Alley Lobster Salad Roll, or Penne al Pomodoro. Your meal includes soup or salad, iced tea, soda, coffee, lemonade, and dessert.
Then, we’ll take Newport's Ten Mile Drive, combing the history of a wealthy summer community with the fabulous Newport recreational treasure of public parks and miles of public access shoreline, to rank as one of the most popular "drives" in the country. The "Drive" is way more than what you can see in a short and hurried 35-minute bus trip over the route. Many of the home owners seek a quiet summer and have gone to great lengths to insure their tranquil settings. Closed gates are very common and trees are strategically allowed to grow in ways that enhance resident privacy.
End the day at The Breakers Mansion; a 70-room mansion that has approximately 65,000 sq. ft. of living space. The Breakers is the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages" and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial preeminence in turn of the century America.
