Boston Ultimate Getaway, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations sells this Boston Ultimate Getaway as a four-day, three-night independent package that can start from any of more than 500 Amtrak stations nationwide, with rail priced separately by a Rail Expert at your choice of Coach, Roomette or Bedroom accommodation. The package itself covers three nights' accommodations in Boston, a hop-on-hop-off sightseeing tour, the Boston All Inclusive Pass covering attractions such as the Museum of Science, Boston Harbor City Cruises, Franklin Park Zoo and the Harvard Museum of Natural History, and a dinner at a local restaurant. The description frames Boston around its Revolutionary War history, from Paul Revere to John and Samuel Adams, alongside the city's local cuisine. Because the operator does not publish a day-by-day itinerary or name a specific hotel, the trip suits independent travelers happy to plan their own daily schedule around the included tour and pass.
