Weather permitting, continue along the Park Loop Road, making your way to the 1,530-foot (466 meters) Cadillac Mountain, highest point on North America’s Eastern seaboard.

Discover the oldest baseball park in the Major League on this half-day outing that includes a narrated scenic drive thorough Boston. 'Stadium' is almost too grand a term for Fenway. Built in 1912, it's smaller than modern parks and full of quirks that only add to its mystique. Seats are narrow, wood-slatted chairs dating back to 1934, many have poor sightlines and no legroom. Incredibly, the scoreboard is still hand-operated, pitchers warm up in bullpens right on the edge of the diamond, in plain view of the spectators. See all that makes this park unique including the lone red seat, the triangle and Williamsburg. Following a 45-minute (upper deck trolley-Princess) drive through scenic Boston, arrive at Fenway where you are greeted by an official Fenway Park guide and escorted through the fabled pitch. Following your tour, browse the Red Sox gift shop before the scenic narrated return to the pier. Note: This tour does not operate on game days. Tour sequence may vary. less
