Day 1
Travel day to Boston!
Your journey begins as we fly from Omaha to the city where America's independence was born-Boston. This evening is a time to relax and get acquainted with your fellow travelers. Whether you settle in for a quiet evening or take a stroll near the hotel, you'll feel the excitement building for the week ahead-full of timeless sights, incredible stories, and unforgettable coastal charm. Overnight Boston, MA 2 nights.
Day 2
Historic Boston Tour, Old Statehouse, Freedom Trail, Charleston Navy Yard, Fenway Park Tour
Today we take a deep dive into the story of Boston-a city that blends colonial history with vibrant modern life. Our day begins with a narrated city tour featuring famous landmarks like the gold-domed Massachusetts State House, perched above Boston Common, the oldest public park in the country. We'll drive through Beacon Hill, lined with gas-lit lanterns and red brick townhomes, and view the Old State House, once the seat of British governors and where the Declaration of Independence was first read to citizens.
Day 3
Plimoth Patuxet Museums, Sandwich Glass Museum
This morning we head south to the town where America's colonial story began-Plymouth. At Plimoth Patuxet Museums, costumed interpreters bring to life the daily routines, homes, and tools of the Pilgrims and Wampanoag people in two recreated 17th-century villages. You'll step inside thatched-roof cottages, see heritage crops in the fields, and learn how two cultures met in one defining moment in history.
Nearby, we'll view Plymouth Rock, a symbol of the Pilgrims' landing in 1620. Then it's on to the lovely village of Sandwich, the oldest town on Cape Cod. Here we'll visit the Sandwich Glass Museum, where you'll watch live glass-blowing demonstrations and browse sparkling exhibits that show how this quiet town once became a global leader in fine glassware. Every piece tells a story-some artistic, others industrial, all fascinating. After a day rich in heritage, we'll head to our Cape Cod hotel and settle in for a three-night stay. Overnight Cape Cod, 3 nights.
Day 4
Cape Cod National Seashore Center, Provincetown, Whale Watching tour
Today we explore the true heart of Cape Cod. We'll travel along the historic Route 6A, also known as the Old King's Highway-a scenic byway passing centuries-old homes, salt marshes, and colonial churches. You'll stop at a traditional Cape Cod lighthouse, one of the most photogenic symbols of the region, and enjoy views of dramatic coastal cliffs along the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Our destination is Provincetown, located at the very tip of the Cape, where the Pilgrims first set foot before settling in Plymouth. This quirky, artistic fishing village is full of galleries, boutiques, and sea captains' homes. In the afternoon, choose between two amazing experiences: board a whale-watching cruise, where you'll venture into protected marine waters and spot humpbacks and minkes guided by an onboard naturalist-or stay on land for a dune tour that winds through the protected, rolling dunes of the National Seashore. You'll even pass historic 'dune shacks,' once home to artists and writers like Tennessee Williams and Jackson Pollock. Overnight Cape Cod
Day 5
Ferry tour of Nantucket
This morning we take a ferry across the sparkling waters to the island of Nantucket-once the whaling capital of the world, now one of the East Coast's most charming escapes. As we approach the harbor, you'll see church steeples, gray-shingled cottages, and bobbing sailboats welcoming us to shore.
We begin with a narrated island tour, where you'll see Brant Point Light, Sconset Bluff, and other postcard-perfect spots. Enjoy time on your own to wander the cobblestone streets, visit the Whaling Museum, or pop into an art gallery or café. The combination of preserved history and coastal beauty makes Nantucket a truly timeless destination. We ferry back to the mainland in the late afternoon, filled with island memories. Overnight Cape Cod
Day 6
Brick Marketplace, Newport Mansions driving tour, Marble House Tour, Breakers Mansion
Begin the day at Brick Marketplace, where historic buildings house locally owned shops and boutiques-perfect for browsing or relaxing with a view of the harbor. Next, enjoy a scenic drive along Ten Mile Ocean Drive and Bellevue Avenue, where mansions rise from the cliffs like castles by the sea. We'll visit Marble House, once home to Alva Vanderbilt and designed in the style of a French chateau with 22-karat gold details and stunning marble interiors. Then tour The Breakers, the 70-room summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, featuring mosaic floors, Italian sculptures, and jaw-dropping ocean views. This day is a beautiful blend of sea breezes and opulence. Overnight Newport, RI
Day 7
Travel Day
After breakfast, we say goodbye to the coast and board our motorcoach to the airport for the return flight to Omaha. As we travel home, we reflect on a week filled with lighthouses, historic harbors, grand estates, and stories that brought each stop to life.
This tour is more than just a getaway-it's a journey through time, where every stop connects us to the people, places, and events that shaped our history. We hope you'll return home refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of your next adventure with Allied Tour & Travel.

IMPORTANT TRAVEL INFORMATION
ACTIVITY LEVEL
These guidelines are provided so you can choose a tour that matches your abilities and ensures an enjoyable experience. While many tours can accommodate a variety of needs, participants should be prepared for the activity level described.
LEVEL 1: Low Activity
Relaxed pace with minimal walking. Distances are typically under ¼ mile at a time (about 5001,000 steps). Surfaces are generally smooth and flat. This level is best if you prefer to take it easy and avoid extended walking or standing.
LEVEL 2: Easy Activity
Includes some walking and light physical demands, but still at a gentle pace. Expect short walks, possibly up to ½ mile at a time (1,0003,000 steps). May include occasional stairs or gentle inclines. Participants should feel comfortable walking several blocks and standing briefly, but activities are not strenuous.
LEVEL 3: Moderate Activity
Days may be somewhat longer with walking up to 1 mile at a time on occasion (around 2,000 steps). Total daily distances may reach approximately 13 miles. Expect some extended standing, varied walking paces, and occasional uneven surfaces. Stairs and moderate inclines are possible, but the pace remains manageable for most travelers.
LEVEL 4: Active
Best suited for travelers who are comfortable with regular walking. Expect more than 4 miles per day (6,00010,000+ steps), spread throughout sightseeing stops and guided tours. Surfaces may include cobblestones, stairs, hills, or uneven paths. Travelers should also feel comfortable keeping pace in busy cities such as Washington, D.C., Boston, or New York, where there may be longer stretches of walking and a quicker group pace. While more active than other levels, the walking is balanced with breaks, sightseeing, and motorcoach travel.
LEVEL 5: High Activity
For those physically fit to handle a rigorous pace. Walking distances often exceed 5 miles a day (10,000+ steps). Terrain may be steep, hilly, or rugged. Days can be long and demanding with minimal rest breaks.
Mobility & Accessibility
Our goal is to make travel enjoyable and safe for everyone. Boarding and exiting the motorcoach involves steps, and participants should be prepared for the activity level of their tour. Tour Directors and Drivers are not permitted to provide constant, hands-on mobility assistance. If you require help with walking, standing, or other personal needs, a travel companion or personal care attendant must accompany you to provide that support. Please let us know in advance if you have specific accessibility needs so we can advise you on whether a tour is a good fit.

TOUR INCLUSIONS

BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE
Each traveler is allowed one checked piece of luggage, not exceeding 30" x 21" x 11" in size or 50 pounds in weight. This is the same standard as most airlines. If it is difficult for you to lift your own bag, it is likely too heavy. For the safety of both you and our staff, please pack only what you can manage. Wheeled luggage is strongly recommended.
Motorcoach overhead compartments are smaller than airplane bins and cannot hold standard airline carry-ons or those with wheels. Most travelers bring a soft-sided bag, backpack, or small duffle for use on board. These items are the responsibility of the traveler and must be handled by the traveler; drivers are not responsible for lifting or storing personal carry-on bags. Guests who travel with a CPAP machine are responsible for packing and providing their own distilled water for use during the tour. Airline baggage fees are not included in the tour price and must be paid directly to the airline.
Allied will include baggage handling for your checked suitcase when the hotel provides this service. Hotels have been withdrawing this service in greater frequency these past years due to a limited workforce.
DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS
Travelers are responsible for carrying proper identification and travel documents.
For domestic air tours, a government-issued photo ID such as a drivers license or passport is required. Allied requests a copy of your ID at booking to ensure smooth check-in.
For tours entering Canada, a valid U.S. passport book is required for air travel and cruise travel. Land entry requires either a valid passport book or a passport card (card is valid for land entry only). Passports must be valid at least six months beyond your return date. Canada reserves the right to deny entry due to past offenses, including misdemeanors or DUIs. International tours require a valid U.S. passport book, valid for at least six months after your return. Some destinations may require longer validity, a visa, or other authorization. Beginning in 2025, many European countries will also require travelers to obtain an ETIAS waiver before entry. If this applies to your tour, Allied will provide instructions. Please note that countries may also deny entry based on past offenses.
TRAVELER CONDUCT & SPECIAL NEEDS
The enjoyment of a group tour depends on cooperation and courtesy. Travelers are expected to be respectful and follow the directions of the tour director. Allied Tours reserves the right to refuse or remove any passenger whose behavior is disruptive or detrimental to the group. In such cases, expenses to return home will be the travelers responsibility, and no refunds will be issued for unused portions of the tour.
Travelers with mobility or medical needs must notify Allied at the time of reservation. While every reasonable effort will be made to assist, tour directors are responsible for the entire group and cannot provide one-on-one care. Travelers requiring help with boarding, luggage, navigating hotels, or personal care should bring a companion who can provide assistance.
INSPIRATION AND FAITH
Because of tour schedules, Allied is unable to make special provisions for worship services. Many tour directors share a "Thought for the Day," verses of inspiration, or a short prayer to begin the day.
CANCELLATION POLICIES
