Arrive Boston
Tour begins: 5:00 PM. Transfers are included upon arrival from Boston's Logan Airport or Boston's Back Bay, North and South train stations to the Fairmont Copley Plaza, a landmark hotel since 1912 and ideally located in historic Back Bay, in the city known as the birthplace of the American Revolution. Join us tonight for a welcome dinner at the hotel.
Meals: Dinner -
Day 2
Drive to Cape Cod
Leave the city behind as you drive to your beachfront hotel in North Falmouth, stopping en route for a guided visit at the Heritage Museum & Gardens in Sandwich, Massachusetts. It is set amidst 100 acres of flower-filled gardens and exhibits showcasing the history of the region, from antique automobiles to folk art and vintage memorabilia including a carousel built in 1908. Enjoy lunch in the town of Sandwich, the oldest town on the Cape and settled in 1637. While its name suggests a popular noonday meal, Sandwich is famous for the glassware produced here in the 1800s. Continue on to North Falmouth and settle into your historic waterfront hotel, once a summer refuge for the likes of Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart and later owned by Barbara Walter's father when it enjoyed a reputation as the Cape's most popular watering hole.

Day 3
Cape Cod National Seashore, Provincetown & a whale-watching cruise
Visit the Cape Cod National Seashore Salt Pond Visitors Center this morning, providing a fascinating introduction to the protected marshlands, uplands, ponds, lighthouses and outer islands of Cape Cod National Seashore. Museum exhibits include the history of the Wampanoag tribes who first inhabited these lands, and the arrival of European settlers, the pilgrims, through artifacts, artwork, photos and captivating oral histories. Have lunch as you wish in Provincetown before embarking on an exciting whale watching cruise for a glimpse of the giant marine mammals who frequent the waters here. It was the hunt for the whale that largely built Provincetown. By 1870, largely due to its whaling activities, Provincetown was one of the richest towns in Massachusetts. As Provincetown went from a whaling town to a Portuguese fishing village to the artsy town it is today, whales are now playing a part in its important conservation efforts to help prevent the whales' extinction. You may spot a variety of marine life during your afternoon whale watching cruise, from humpback, fin and right whales to dolphins, seals and sea turtles who may happen by. Dinner is at leisure tonight at your hotel.

This was my first Tauck Tour per recommended highly by Tahlon, Travel Advisor with Affordable Tours. I was deeply saddened to hear of his leaving the agency as he was by far one of the BEST Advisors I have EVER dealt with. It was because of him I decided to go on this Cape Code and New England Tour 2019. I must say his recommendation out stood the test. Denise, Tour Director was exceptionally knowledgeable about the sites on the tour, she offered some most helpful suggestions and tips along the trip. She had a friendly personality, extremely professional and always willing to help and resolve any issues that she felt that may occur. Our terrific Bus Driver was Evan who was so kind, patient, friendly and professional. He provided excellent service and help and taking extra precautions to get our group to where we needed to go. I was pleased and highly impressed with the quality of service Tauck provided . Everything was arranged professionally and worked out well. The tours were wonderful, with wonderful foods and great hotels. My one suggestion to Tauck is that on the departing boat ride, reception and dinner is to get an enclosed boat. Everyone was cold due to the wind, hair blown all over our heads and it was not an enjoyable boat ride due to the TIMING WAS POORLY PLANNED. All of the ladies getting off the boat looked like wild women with their hair blown. This boat needed to be enclosed rather than open or offer the boat ride at a different time and not before the reception and dinner. I did not enjoy this boat ride at all due to the cold element of the wind. OVERALL THE TOUR WAS EXCELLENT!!!!! Thank you and I am so happy that I went on this tour.
