Itinerary
We will begin the tour by traveling from Manhattan Chinatown to Yale University in New Haven. Here we will join a Yale student-guided tour of the campus introducing about Yale's rich 300-year history and aspects of student life at several of Yale's twelve residential colleges. Next, we will head to Newport, RI to see the famous Breakers Mansion, the crown jewel of Newport. We can even take an audio-guided tour of the mansion, learning about its long history and the Vanderbilt family. Afterwards, we will continue to Boston.
New Haven, CT
New Haven is a coastal city in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is located on New Haven Harbor on the northern shore of Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, and is part of the New York metropolitan area. Besides, New Haven is the home of Yale University.
Yale University
Founded in 1701, this world-famous university is the third-oldest in the United States. This Ivy-League school is consistently ranked as one of the best institutions of higher learning in the entire world, and admission is extremely competitive.
Yale University In-Depth Tour
On this tour, you will be able to explore the campus of Yale University, one of the most prestigious institutes for higher learning in the entire world.
Newport, RI
Newport is a high end New England seaport town, extremely popular among the mega-rich of America. Travel along Ocean Drive to get beautiful scenic views and see the magnificent Breakers Mansion. It is a short drive from Boston.
Breakers Mansion
From the 1870s to the 1920s, the illustrious Vanderbilt family erected a series of mansions in the northeastern United States that are still unrivalled today in their opulence and grandeur. This is perhaps the most well-known and most impressive.
Boston, MA
Boston is a city as beautiful as it is historically significant. Visitors can walk the Freedom Trail and see where the seeds of the American Revolution were sown or visit the North End and look out over the harbor.
Boston Lobster Meal
At one time, lobster was considered low-class food, barely fit to be used as fertilizer. Not so today-- the most elite are willing to shell out a fortune for a good lobster, and Massachusetts is famous for its shellfish.
Today, we will take a city tour of Boston, beginning with The Firsts of America Exploration Tour, followed by a relaxing Boston Harbor cruise(March to October only, will replaced by New England Aquarium when close) that provides us with breathtaking views of the city from the water. For lunch, we will go to Quincy Market. The tour ends with an appointed drop off locations in Chinatown back in New York.

We booked this tour on July 13th to July 14th. The tour guy name Alfred was very impolite and unprofessonal with us. Doing service and as a tour guy, he should not have this kind of behavior with customers. We've booked many tours on this site before and all ended with great experiences. Sorry that I have to write this review but beware.
All good
I recommend this tour!
Hello, We are very happy to go to Boston and very nice service. Unlike another company that drove us to Niagara Fals, it looked completely different now.
We recommend ordering tours on the TakeTours website.
