Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
Take part in a reenactment of the most important event leading up to the American Revolution through a multisensory experience that includes live actors, interactive exhibits, and sailing vessels! Start your adventure with a colonial town meeting and converse with “Samuel Adams.” Then, explore a full-scale replica of the 18th-century sailing vessel and join the revolt by throwing tea into the same body of water the Boston Tea Party took place in over 240 years ago. We also enjoy the film, Let It Begin Here, to learn more about the events of April 19, 1775, including Paul Revere’s famous “Midnight Ride” and the dawn of the American Revolution.

Montreal
Explore Canada’s second-biggest city, located in the province of Quebec.

The official language is also French! A local guide boards our motorcoach to provide a comprehensive tour of this charming area, from Port Montreal to Old Montreal. Admire the 17th- and 18th-century structures that remain in the historic district, including the Notre-Dame Basilica, then enjoy time to grab lunch, shop, or admire more wonders from the past.
Peggy’s Cove & Halifax

Stroll over to Peggy’s Point Lighthouse perched on granite rocks within St. Margaret’s Bay before returning to Halifax for a hop-on hop-off bus tour to see its best sights.
