Boston Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Washington, D.C.
Independent roundtrip rail getaway to Boston from Washington, DC
C. to Boston on the Northeast Regional train, included in the Coach-class fare. Once in Boston, three nights at a hotel serve as the base for a hop-on-hop-off sightseeing tour and the Boston CityPASS, which covers the New England Aquarium and Museum of Science plus a choice of two more attractions such as Franklin Park Zoo. The description frames Boston through its Revolutionary War history, pointing to Paul Revere, John and Samuel Adams, and sites such as Fenway Park and Quincy Market, alongside a dinner at a local restaurant. Because the operator does not publish a day-by-day itinerary or name the hotel for this package, the trip suits independent travelers comfortable setting their own schedule around the included tour and pass.
