Overview

This tour from Boston to the North Shore is the perfect day trip, customised for your group! As we journey up the Atlantic Coast, we can stop at any location for exploration on foot.

We’ll start with a Salem tour, delving into this town’s complex past, passing by the Salem Witch Museum and House of Seven Gables. Among the top things to do in Salem: visit a cemetery with notable burials and connections to the Salem Witch Trials.

Other fascinating places in Massachusetts include Rockport and Gloucester, known for picturesque lighthouses, and Marblehead, boasting charming houses along a rocky coastline. Discover the beauty and art scene of a hidden gem, Bearskin Neck, and see the most-painted building in the US, the Motif No. 1 fishing shack!

In Manchester-by-the-Sea, you’ll find serene beaches and upscale boutiques, and in Beverly, beautifully preserved colonial architecture.

From haunting history to coastal splendour, this tour promises to capture the essence of the North Shore.
