Massachusetts Adventure Tours

Explore Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket on a Backroads Bicycle Tour

The history is legendary — Plymouth, where the Pilgrims landed; Boston, where the first shots of the American Revolution rang out; and Nantucket, whose whaling ships swarmed the oceans. But there’s far more than landmark sights in storied Massachusetts. Fast forward to the present: Boston and neighboring Cambridge have blossomed into spirited college towns, Provincetown’s a festive cultural whirl, and those whales — a major attraction in their own right — are now followed by affectionate sightseers on whale-watching cruises. Most travelers start in Boston, the state’s busy hub, where colonial sights and museum strolls mix with sizzling nightlife and pub crawls. Then they move further afield, to the woodsy Berkshires and the dunes and beaches of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard.
