Day 1: We begin our adventure in New England with an early departure as we set our sights for our overnight destination near Allentown, PA.
Day 2: After breakfast we will depart this morning for our drive to Rhode Island and come to rest in Warwick. Upon arrival we will check into our hotel before enjoying a delicious dinner together. After dinner is one of the highlights of your tour; the JACK O’LANTERN SPECTACULAR. Named a “Top 100 Event”, the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular features expertly carved pumpkins lining the pathways and trails of the Roger Williams Park Zoo. This gourd-geous display of artistry, creativity, and wonderment highlights thousands of professionally designed jack-o-lanterns, all arranged with whimsical and seasonal theatricality. This event consists of more than 5,000 jack-o-lanterns and has earned rave reviews as one of the country’s finest displays of holiday artistry. Enhanced by professional lighting, spooky fog, & music and sound effects, this must-see event is a delight for all senses! Return to our hotel for the night. B, D
Day 3: After breakfast we will depart for our drive to Boston. Upon arrival get ready for a Quacking Good Time as we board the Boston Duck Tour for an 80-minute sightseeing ride over land and water. Our guide will point out Boston’s historic sites, including the site of the Boston massacre, Faneuil Hall, the State House, Boston Common and Public Garden. Along the way, you will experience an unforgettable tour of Boston and the Charles River. After our duck ride adventure, we will have time for lunch on our own and shopping at Quincy Market. For over 250 years, the marketplace has played an integral role in the life of Boston’s residents. The Quincy Market houses one hundred shops, carts, and artisans inside and out that offer unique treasures and diverse ethnic foods. We then travel to our suburban hotel where we check in for our two-night stay. Take time to relax and refresh before we depart for our included dinner and then a “ghostly” experience. The Ghosts and Gravestones Trolley Tour of Boston will tell all about Boston’s darker side! With its history, is it any wonder that Boston remains one of the most haunted cities in America? During our narrated trolley tour, we walk amongst the dead in burying grounds four hundred years old, hear stories of those whose mortal remains lie beneath our feet and listen to talk of the sordid practices that went along with them. Venture to the site of the biggest grave-robbing scandal in New England’s history. Walk atop Boston’s largest unmarked burying ground and hear tales of the tortures, punishments and executions that took place. See the city’s most haunted hotel, the Omni Parker. We will return to the hotel after our trolley tour. B, D
Day 4: Breakfast is included before we depart for Salem, Massachusetts. Upon arrival in Salem, we will enjoy the Salem Trolley, the best way to see Salem and to experience the Witch City’s unique and colorful past. The narrated one-hour tour around the city takes you past the Charter Street Burial Ground, the House of the Seven Gables, Witch Dungeon Museum, Salem Witch Museum, the historic waterfront area and other locations, including Chestnut Street considered to be one of the most beautiful streets in America. Enjoy lunch on your own with time to browse the shops. This afternoon, we will step back in time at the Witch Museum, exploring the infamous 1692 Salem Witch Trials and discovering the fear and hysteria that swept through Salem in the 17th century. Next, we attend a live performance of “Cry Innocent” where you are the jury at the trial of Bridget Bishop, accused of witchcraft. Hear the testimony, ask questions and then, you decide the verdict – guilty or innocent? After our visit to Salem we will return to our hotel, enjoying dinner on our own tonight. B
Day 5: After breakfast, we depart for Fall River, Massachusetts and the Lizzie Borden House, site of one of the most famous crimes in American history. Relive the shocking and sensational 1892 murders of the Borden family, as we tour this Victorian home turned into a Bed and Breakfast.
