    For a state its size, Massachusetts has been home to a surprising number of key historical figures who have loomed large in the story of America. Presidents (including President John F Kennedy), poets and thinkers from Massachusetts have initiated many pivotal events in the nation’s past, and sites in Boston, Concord, Lexington, Plymouth and Salem trace the unfolding of the country’s history. But the past is not the only lure, for Boston, Cape Cod, the Berkshires and the rocky coast north of Boston represent a vigorous present. It all began in the little harbor colony of Plymouth, settled by Pilgrims from England in the cold winter of 1620, and then 10 years later Puritans established colonies in Salem and Boston that soon became important seaports sending ships around the world. Westwards farms extended across the valleys to the Berkshire Hills and Harvard the first U.S. college was founded in Cambridge. John Hancock and Samuel Adams, firebrands of the American Revolution, held forth in Boston, and the first shots of the war of independence were heard in Lexington and Concord. Today the state has a population of over six million and Boston has become world city of cosmopolitan chic and historic significance with renowned universities (including M.I.T.), world class hospitals, high-tech industries and cultural icons such as the Boston Symphony and Museum of Fine Arts. This is a state that has welcomed immigrants over the centuries and continues to welcome visitors to enjoy its infinite variety of scenery, history, people, culture and vision.

    Day 1
    Boston Arrival

    Depart London Heathrow – 11:05
    Arrive Boston – 13:10
    Journey Time – 7 hours

    On arrival we recommend that you DO NOT collect your car but rather take one of the metered cabs (your approx fare will be $25 – this is not included in your prepaid holiday cost) from the airport to your hotel. We recommend this as you will be tired and will only pay high fees to park the vehicle during your 3 days in the city. Of course if you do prefer to collect your vehicle on arrival or would like us to arrange private transportation for you to your hotel, this can be done for an additional cost.

    Famous for everything from the Red Sox and Paul Revere to Cheers and clam “Chowdah” Boston is part history lesson, part modern metropolis, a city filled with a multitude of interesting things to see and do. The Freedom Trail, a well preserved pedestrian path that weaves in and out of historic neighbourhoods, is the highlight of Boston for visitors. The 2.5 mile red brick walking trail leads you to 16 nationally significant historic sites, every one an authentic American treasure. Preserved and dedicated by the citizens of Boston in 1958, when the wrecking ball threatened several important places, the Freedom Trail today is a unique collection of museums, churches, meeting houses, burying grounds, parks, the historic ship Constitution (know as Old Ironsides), and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution. You can take a self-guided tour or one of the many tours available through the National Park Service. Tours begin every half hour from the park visitor centre at 15 State Street opposite the Old State House. If you prefer to ride, you can take a trolley tour, which is an unofficial guided tour, but does include many of t
    he most important sites along the Trail including Old Ironsides, the Paul Revere House and the Old North Church. Plan to stop and eat at Faneuil Hall, once the primary meeting place for America’s revolutionaries and now a bustling market of restaurants and shops.

It’s a short drive inland to Essex where alongside the Essex River the Shipbuilding Museum celebrates the days when Essex “ruled the seas” with wooden, two masted schooners. The town is also considered by many to be America’s Antique Capital with more than thirty antique shops within a mile of each other making it a collector’s paradise. Another historic town is Newburyport, birthplace of the United States Coast Guard, where the harbor is still a vital and important part of the community.

Not so much a ghost town as a ghost of a town where the houses are in their original location on a mile-long thoroughfare called simply “The Street” along which you can walk to view the historic homes and yards. From Shelburne westwards you follow the Mohawk Trail tracing the tracks of the Mohawk tribe that marched this route to destroy the Pocumtucks in a fierce battle in earlier times. This is one of the oldest roads in the nation and best of all parts of the ancient path still exist and are available for visitors to hike. The byway also has over 100 attractions to see, ranging from old pilgrim churches, to the beautiful statue “Hail to the Sunrise,” to the gorgeous one-of-a-kind Bridge of Flowers. At the western end of the trail, nestled in a hollow, is the pretty town of Williamstown where the Sterling & Francine Clark Art Institute is well worth a visit. This fine art museum has outstanding collections of French Impressionists, Old Master, and American paintings set amid park-like grounds dotted with walking trails and picnic tables. Home for the next two nights will be Lenox in the heart of the Berkshires, a region of serene and natural beauty.

    Overnight – The Berkshires


    Day 7
    The Berkshires

    Within a natural barricade of mountains, the Taconic range to the west and the Hoosac Range and Berkshire Hills to the east, the Berkshire Valley remained remote and unsettled for more than a century after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. The remoteness of the area attracted Mother Lee’s Shakers, who saw it as a personal wilderness in which to follow their journey to find and serve God, they were followed by writers such as Hawthorne and Melville who wrote Moby Dick while staying here. Later the Berkshires became not only a refuge and inspiration but a playground for those who suddenly found themselves millionaires in the late 19th century. The twin legacies of culture and leisure are yours to enjoy and you should not miss a visit to the Hancock Shaker Village to marvel at their simple life and the elegance and simplicity of their furniture and artifacts that are preserved here. Another “must see” is the lovely village of Stockbridge that started as an Indian mission and now is home to the Norman Rockwell Museum containing a large collection of America’s famous illustrator and painter.

The Cape has some of the best beaches and warmest waters on the east coast as well as some of the prettie
    st villages and you’ll have time to explore over the next few days.

En-route you can also visit the pretty town of Falmouth, typically American with a little bit of everything, before driving to Woods Hole for the short ferry ride to the lovely island of Martha’s Vineyard (round-trip ferry tickets for you and your car are included).

    Do I need a visa to travel to the usa?

    In most circumstances, no visa is required for travel to the USA for any British Citizen passport holder and many other European passport holders, whose countries qualify for the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). This program permits entry for up to 90 days for business or leisure purposes. Everyone must apply to use the VWP via the online Electronic System of Travel Authorization (ESTA).  Advice states this should be done online at least 72 hours prior to departure. On payment of the $14 fee this system usually issues an electronic confirmation within minutes but this is not guaranteed and there are certain criteria travellers must consider before applying via ESTA to use the Visa Waiver Program. Once granted the VWP authorization is valid for 2 years.

    It is essential that everyone who plans to travel to the United States reads the information contained on the following page – Visa Waiver Program

    Please note : From 21st January 2016 The United States implemented changes to the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) as part of the Terrorist Travel Protection Act of 2015. One of the major changes implemented in January excludes any British National who has travelled to Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, or Yemen since March 01st 2011 from using the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Full details are contained on the above link but those affected will need to apply for a Visitor Visa with the U.S. Embassy before booking their travel arrangements.

    You are advised to complete your ESTA prior to confirming any travel arrangements.

    To use ESTA now please only use the following website – Official ESTA Website

    Complete North America Limited cannot be held responsible for cancellation charges incurred by travellers who have booked travel and are subsequently unable to travel as part of the VWP or who are unable to obtain a Visitor Visa. If you have any questions after reading the information supplied above please speak to a member of our team.

    Do I need a visa to travel to Canada?

    British Nationals and travellers from other European countries can enjoy visa-exempt travel to and via Canada but must first use the online Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) at a cost of CA$7.00 per person. Most online applications are approved with minutes by email but the process can take longer particularly if supporting documentation is requested. An eTA is valid for 5 years and allows you to travel for up to 6 months on any one visit.

    You are advised to apply for your eTA prior to confirming any travel arrangements.

    For applications and full information on the scheme please only visit – Official Canadian Government eTA Website

    Complete North America Limited cannot be held responsible for cancellation charges incurred by travellers who have booked travel and are subsequently unable to travel as part of the eTA scheme or who are unable to obtain a Visitor Visa. If you have any questions after reading the information supplied above please speak to a member of our team.

      This was to be a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. It was memorable for the range of new experiences, the lovely places we stayed, your kind gift of the Boston excursions card and the matchless hospitality of the Liberty Inn at Yarmouth

      Chisholm Party (New England)

      I just wanted to thank you once again for all the planning, booking and organising that you did on our behalf. Each of the hotels were great and the hotel in Niagara had the best view of any hotel I’ve stayed in around the world

      Watts Party (New England & Eastern Canada)

      The Autumn colours were magnificent and we really enjoyed seeing the Pumpkin Festival celebrations in New England and then when we crossed the border, the Farmers markets and preparations for Thanksgiving in Canada.
