Boston Scenic Coastal Tour and Witch History

Take a break from your Boston city break with this scenic private tour. There's lots of ocean views, rocky coastline, a bit of shopping and even some witch history.
We keep this full day itinerary flexible to let you customize the tour but here's a feel for what we'll see.

Pick up in Downtown Boston, taking the 60 minute highway drive to Manchester-by-the-Sea, where we pick up the scenic back roads.
We'll take a picturesque country road to Gloucester, where we stop to walk along the waters edge to the Fisherman's memorial statue.
We'll continue the scenic drive to Rockport, where there's a great collection of cute stores to browse and views to admire.
Then drive to Salem, where we have time for a short walking tour around the main sites and historic spots.
To finish out the day we'll squeeze in a few more ocean views on our drive back to Boston.

We'll stop along the way for lunch (not included in price of tour).

Sit back, relax and enjoy the views.
