Description

Experience the beauty of Cape Cod and Provincetown on a private and customizable tour from Boston. Ride a ferry from Boston Harbor to soak in the city skyline or explore small towns by car.
Explore your way on a private day trip from Boston with a personal guide and customizable itinerary. Cruise along the Boston Harbor on a ferry, ride along the South Shore through towns like Sandwich and Chatham, and stop to explore highlights such as the National Seashore and Herring Cove Beach.
Following pickup directly from your address in Boston, your tour starts with either a 1.5-hour ferry ride (available from mid-May to mid-October) or a 2- to 3-hour car ride along the South Shore from Boston.
By ferry, leave Boston Harbor with a scenic view of the Boston skyline from the bay. If you choose the drive or if the ferry is not in season, meander through small towns like quaint Sandwich and Chatham and see natural spaces like the National Seashore.
On the way, get to know your guide and hear about the colorful history of Provincetown, widely regarded as Cape Cod’s most popular destination. Learn the town’s storied history as the first arrival point of the Pilgrims, a fishing town, an artist colony, and a haven for alternative lifestyles.
From here, explore where and what you are interested in. Start with the highlights of the area, like the Pilgrim Monument and Museum, built to commemorate the first landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims in the U.S. in 1620. This building is also currently the tallest granite structure in the U.S.
The next stop can be a walk down the never-boring Commercial Street, the heart of Ptown’s universe. The three-mile stretch spans the town and provides access to Ptown’s notable landmarks, local art galleries, unusual souvenir shops, cabaret entertainment, and photo-worthy architecture.
Choose to grab a snack at a local favorite like Provincetown Portuguese Bakery while doing some people-watching of Ptown’s colorful characters. Get recommendations for some of the best lunch spots in the area from your guide.
Ptown also offers several one-of-a-kind experiences. See the Ptown sand dunes, explore Ptown’s various nature trails by bicycle, or jump on a private schooner for a whale tour. If you would like to relax a bit more, feel free to spend your time sunbathing on Race Point or Herring Cove Beach.
End your day in true Ptown style with a Portuguese-style clambake and seashore view from a restaurant (cost not included). Whatever you choose your day to include, your guides will help you to discover Ptown’s charm and local flavor.
