Beantown Express

This itinerary is the starting point for your tour, but it’s not set in stone. If there are days you would like to change, or specific places you’d like to go, we can work with you to create a personalized program that fits the needs of you and your students.

Day 1: Boston

Welcome to Beantown as the locals fondly refer to Boston. After checking in and meeting your ACIS Tour Manager, head to historic Quincy Market. Your tour manager will lead you on a walking orientation tour that will introduce you to some of Boston's most famous old sites such as Faneuil Hall, Paul Revere's House and the Old North Church. Enjoy dinner in the city tonight before going back to your hotel.

Day 2: Boston

Enjoy starting the day with a step back in time during a guided visit to national historic sites in Lexington and Concord, where the American Revolution began on April 19, 1775. The highlight of your visit will be the Ranger-led “Road to Revolution” presentation at Minute Man National Historical Park, ending with a live musket-firing demonstration. After lunch, you will visit the Museum of Science's experimental activity stations that may challenge you to become a scientist yourself. Then hop on board Boston's legendary Duck Tour for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines. Tonight, feast your eyes on more incredible views of the city, but from a whole new angle—the water! Your group will spend the evening on a three-hour Boston Harbor dinner cruise that includes a full buffet dinner, DJ entertainment and a dance floor.

Day 3: Departure

Visit the New England Aquarium where you can see its giant ocean tank, touch sting rays, learn about sharks and marvel at many varieties of penguins. Next, walk to the nearby Faneuil Hall Marketplace to have lunch on your own, followed by time for shopping and picture-taking in one of America’s most historic settings.
