Boston Sightseeing Tour
Our Boston Touring includes the sights and landmarks that played an important role in John F. Kennedy's rise to the White House. Join a local guide and see sites such as the JFK Statue on the State House Lawn, The Bellevue Hotel, The Omni Parker House, Old City Hall, the Irish Famine Memorial, JFK's Senate Headquarters, Faneuil Hall, Union Oyster House, and the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
Tour is mostly riding, and will require minimal walking.
Boston Swan Boats
Boston Swan Boats glide across the lagoon in the Public Garden, just as they have every year since 1877.
A crew member, mostly hidden behind the boat's swan, pedals and steers each boat in a figure-eight pattern around the Public Garden's lagoon at a leisurely speed of about 2 miles per hour.
You'll see plenty of mallard ducks, the island from Make Way for Ducklings, and perhaps even a stately pair of beautiful real swans.
After about 15 minutes of peacefully floating around the pond, your Swan Boat glides back up to the dock.
JFK Presidential Library & Museum
Situated on a ten-acre park overlooking Boston Harbor is the nation's official memorial to John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States. The Museum invites visitors to step back into the recreated world of the early 1960s and experience firsthand the life and legacy of JFK.
Visitors are inspired by the stirring eloquence of JFK and by the grace of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy through 25 dramatic exhibits, including 3 theatres and 20 video presentations.
There will be special exhibits and events at the Library to commemorate the President's 100th birthday.
Cape Cod & Hyannis
Our visit includes admission to the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and the Sandwich Historical Society and Glass Museum. Together they interpret the seafaring and industrial history of the Cape. President Kennedy spent significant time in Hyannis and sites marking his presence are common. There is a memorial to him on the Lewis Bay waterfront erected in 1966, with the presidential seal and a quote: "I believe it is important that this country sail and not sit still in the harbor."
New Bedford Whaling Museum
The museum, through its collections and exhibitions, tells the story of the international whaling industry and the history more generally of the "Old Dartmouth" region.
The Museum also houses an extensive collection of fine art, including works by major American artists who lived or worked in the New Bedford area.
Sandwich Historical Society
The Sandwich Historical Society and its Glass Museum, collects, preserves and interprets the history of the Town of Sandwich, the oldest town on Cape Cod. A large part of Sandwich history is involved with American glass production. This short presentation is culled from the collection of glass and historic images of the Museum and Historical Society.
Hyannis Harbor Cruise
Enjoy a Hyannis Harbor Cruise, passing in view of the historic Kennedy Compound in Hyannisport, the Kennedy Memorial, Egg Island, St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, and Point Gammon Light.
Afterwards, you will have time to stroll along the Walkway to the Sea, peruse the Artist Shanties at Bismore Park, and shop for Cape Cod souvenirs and clothing at the waterfront gift shop.
New England Clambake and 1960s Party
This evening we'll enjoy a New England Clambake and 1960s Beach Party at a Country Club where you will dine and dance overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. This meal is a traditional New England Clam Bake complete with "steamah's, chowdah, and lobstah," plus, an escape entree for the landlubbers. After dinner, enjoy live entertainment. You'll hear tunes from the 60s and 70s such as "Kokomo," "Under the Boardwalk," "Surf City Summer Wind," and "California Girls."
Newport, RI
Known for its gilded-age mansions, Newport has huge connections with the Kennedy Family. You will visit St. Mary's Catholic Church where in 1953, Senator John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier were married. You will also drive by Hammersmith Farm, Jacqueline Bouvier's home where her wedding reception was hosted. This resort town is filled with elegant mansions, landscaped gardens, landmarks, and yacht clubs. Featured on this excursion is a Preservation Society of Newport Mansion and a visit to the Green Animals Topiary Garden.

Green Animals Topiary Garden
One of the oldest topiary gardens in North America, this Victorian country estate includes more than 80 sculptured trees and shrubs in animal and geometric forms, floral gardens, a rose arbor and fruit trees.
Green Animals remains as a rare example of a self-sufficient estate combining formal topiaries, vegetable and herb gardens, orchards, and a Victorian house overlooking Narragansett Bay.
"A Night in Camelot" Dinner & Birthday Party
Tonight is the highlight, "A Night in Camelot." Join us as we celebrate JFK's 100th Birthday and remember the 'High Hopes' of that youthful administration as we dance to the music of the era during a show that is a tribute to both the celebrities and songs that he liked best.
The dinner is a plated meal, with dinner music setting a proper atmosphere.
The entertainment is a live orchestra, with a crooner and an MC, performing as they once did for the President of the United States. It's a night of music that the President would have enjoyed and a night filled with songs that you will remember.
Attire for the night can be either casual, formal, or in between.
