Featured Tour: Island of New England

Posted on Thursday, June 03, 2010

For those who have not been fortunate enough to visit Cape Cod, Rhode Island and Boston, this tour is perfect !

Newport, Rhode Island is a one of a kind monument to excess that has to be seen to be believed.   The Breakers, the Marble House, and 7 other mansions line just one boulevard, all facing the Atlantic Ocean from their back "loggias".  They were called "cottages" at the turn of the last century; cottages the size of a Castle!   Historic Boston is next with its Beacon Hill, Faneuil Hall marketplace (only in America can a landmark become a mall), Freedom Trail and more.    A trip to Plymouth Rock and a New England Lobster feast dinner before heading for Cape Cod the next day.  After a visit to an actual cranberry bog, you ferry to quaint, historic Martha’s Vineyard (lots of famous residents) and finish the day with a Cape Cod Dinner Train ride.  In the AM another lovely ferry ride awaits to take you to Nantucket with its cobblestone streets and whaling history. Back in Cape Cod for your last day you will see the Historic Kennedy Compound and more before enjoying an elegant dinner train.  Between the sights and the great dinners this is one great trip!
