When in Boston, do make sure to go on Cape Cod Excursion Day Tour from Boston. Although Cape Cod has a year-round population of about 230,000, it experiences a tourist season each summer between Memorial Day and Labor Day, as the New England cold gives way to a brief but comfortable summer. Many businesses are specifically targeted to summer visitors, and close during the 8 to 9 months of the "off season."

Get to see the wonderful blend of sand dunes and beaches, riding across the Cape Cod Canal in Boston. The Canal is a man-made waterway traversing the narrow neck of land that anchors Cape Cod to mainland Massachussettes. It is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. From shopping to sightseeing, from cruising to feasting, this tour lets you enjoy it all.

Start this one-day excursion with a hotel pick up from some of the most famous hotels in Boston. An English-speaking chauffer will drive you to the starting point of this tour in a luxurious air-conditioned coach.

During the tour, you will visit the famous memorial of President John F. Kennedy in Hyannisport. The JFK Hyannis Museum in the old Town Hall on Main St. focuses on John F. Kennedy's time spent in the town. There is a memorial to President Kennedy on the Lewis Bay waterfront that was erected by Barnstable citizens in 1966. The memorial includes a fountain and a field-stone monument with the presidential seal.

Next is a narrated sightseeing harbor cruise along with a professional guide. Watch out for the beautiful views of the Kennedy Compound during the cruise. It contains the homes of Joseph P. Kennedy and two of his sons, Robert F. and John F. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, the latter utilized the compound as a base for his Presidential campaign and as a summer White House and Presidential retreat until his assassination in 1963. Capture the scenic beauty in your camera and cherish the beauty for years to come.

This tour will then halt for awhile for lunch(at your own expense). You can even choose to have lunch before the cruise. The admission fee for the cruise is included in the tour fare, so you need not spend a penny for the cruise ride. Once through with your lunch you will be taken to the seaside villages for both shopping and sightseeing. Enjoy buying some local stuff from the shops in the villages.
