Day Tour of Cape Cod from Boston with Biking Option
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
We offer the only all-day tour of Cape Cod from Boston with an option for a self-paced bike ride. This tour was designed by a history teacher with 16 years of experience in tourism and transportation. He lived in Sandwich for several years and knows the best local destinations. We offer a unique, small group experience using vans and minibuses that allow access to the beaches, backroads, nooks and crannies that large coach buses cannot get to. This tour is crafted to allow everyone to "linger longer" based on everyone's interests and curiosity. That is a revolution in and of itself!

Was a very long trip for only one good and interesting place. The glass museum in Sandwich was very interesting and the demonstration was excellent. The rest of the place visited was not interested to me. Our driver was good and very knowledgeable for the area.

We had Coach for our tour guide and driver. Coach was friendly, nice, and informative. My favorite portion of the tour was the time we spent on the beach. (Sandy Neck Beach Park) I did think the tour moved at a slow pace. Our first stop was the Cape Cod Canal visitor center. As a traveler, the goal is to get to our destination. The drive to Cape Cod Canal visitor center should take about an hour. However, two stops were made on the way to Cape Cod Canal visitor center. This is a waste of time. The first stop was at a Mc Donald’s in Plymouth and the second stop was made at Market Basket. The Sandwich Glass Museum and Dexter’s Grist Mill were interesting and informative stopping points too in the town of Sandwich. Lunch at Marshland Restaurants was also a pleasant experience in that we got to chat with some of the locals.
