Cape Cod's Historic Route 6A: Private Guided Full-Day Tour

Ride in a private, expert-guided vehicle along the Old King's Highway (Route 6A), Cape Cod's oldest road, stopping at colonial villages, antique sea-captain estates, working cranberry bogs, and storied lighthouses. The definitive curated lens on 400 years of New England history.

What to expect

Your private guide picks you up and leads you along Route 6A through villages like Sandwich (the Cape's oldest town), Barnstable, and Brewster, pausing at working cranberry bogs, historic lighthouses, and captains' homes listed on the National Register. Stops are chosen to match your interests — food, maritime history, architecture, or pure scenery. The guide's local knowledge unlocks stories and viewpoints invisible to first-time visitors. A stop at a classic Cape Cod oyster or clam shack for lunch rounds out the experience.
