See Boston from an electric bike ("ebike") in a small group setting! I provide a quality ebike, bike helmet, and water. All bikes have hand brakes and gears, so for safety, all riders MUST be comfortable using both. All riders should wear a helmet for safety. We'll adjust and test the bikes for 15-20 minutes, and then we will set out on our ride. Most of our ride is on paved cycle routes with no cars, some of it in the Emerald Necklace Park designed by Frederick Law Olmstead and on the Esplanade near the Charles River. We will cycle along both sides of the river, under the Zakim Bridge to Boston Harbor. We will stop for lunch and ride back through Cambridge and Brookline to Jamaica Plain. There are a few places where we walk the bikes for 2-3 blocks, so guests need to be able to walk a bit. The tour lasts about 5 hours, depending on how many stops we make and how long we spend at lunch. This tour will allow you to try an electric bike in a low-stress cycling environment. I hope to see you with the famous "e-bike grin" as you glide along! I can accommodate anyone taller than about 4'10" and I have a trail-a-bike for smaller kids. I can often accommodate different dates and times. New England weather is unpredictable so if the weather conditions are not safe for cycling, I will cancel the tour and you'll receive a full refund.

We will start the tour on Lexington Green, one of the best known landmarks of that fateful day when the American Revolution began. We will recount stories about that day, some familiar and many not that well known, like the house where Paul Revere was told to be quite as he was spreading the alarm. We will then head toward Concord, making several stops along the way at locations with many other surprising tales that may be contrary to popular accounts. In Concord we will visit the Old North Bridge and learn about heroic and tragic events that took place at the bridge and surrounding area. On the return leg we will visit several little known but very significant sites with their own stories to tell. We will complete the adventure where we started, on Lexington Green, to talk about the horrific British retreat to Boston. I hope that guests will gain a new appreciation of that historic day, when a group of poorly trained and poorly equipped, but highly motivated farmers and tradespeople stood up to the greatest military force in the world. Other things to note I hope you will be surprised and entertained by these tales that don't often get told.

You get to relax and enjoy the experience of riding a battery powered mountain bike through beautiful country scenes. This is a moderate exercise activity suitable for young and older guests. The 7 speed mountain bikes are equipped with large capacity Li-Ion battery packs that allow both pedal assisted biking (PAS) at 5 different assist levels: from minimal assist all the way up to completely pedal-free cruising. Following the route we’ve planned you'll enjoy some of our quiet country roads, cruising by peaceful apple orchards, working farms with cows and horses out to pasture, lakes and streams, waterfalls and many other country settings. How do you like them apples? Stop and pick some up at Knight's Farm Apple Orchards. Sample some local honey at a farm stand, grab a quick bite at Cold Brook Cafe. Other things to note You should be comfortable with biking in general and you should expect some traffic as make your way to the more remote biking routes. All guests must sign waivers and safety documents. All guests must wear the supplied approved bike helmet (unless you have your own) while riding.

I’ll introduce you to each horse in the barn, you’ll learn their stories and feed them treats. Then we’ll select several and groom them slowly while listening to peaceful music that calms not only the horse but also you. By giving the horse love and attention you will learn to trust them, as they will learn to trust you. After they have been groomed we will take them for a short walk on a lead line either inside the indoor arena or out on the state park that connects with Hidden Springs Farm, depending on the weather. We’ll end the walk by returning to the barn and you’ll leave the farm feeling connected to nature and horses and feeling refreshed. Other things to note These horses are used to people but that doesn’t mean that they don’t get nervous. Ways to avoid nervous horses is to approach slowly, make no sudden movements and speak in a quiet, even voice. A lot of our horses have been through traumatic situations so this is important!

Together we will establish a style profile based on your personal wardrobe & note any specific looks/pieces you are hoping to take home during your stay. We will coordinate your ideal shopping excursion while we indulge in a true taste of New England. We will hunt through vintage, second hand, antique & thrifted looks on our treasure hunt at some of my favorite spots for stunning pieces and one-of-a-kind finds. Right outside of Boston and a short train ride in one of the suburbs most charming neighborhoods we will shop through some of New Englands best kept second hand secrets. Our shopping experience stretches down the historic streets of Waltham, better known as "Watch City", which also offers some local art studios/boutiques, a quaint river walk, museums, cafes and a variety of award winning shops & dining if you're looking to stretch your stay while in the area. While shopping we will style different looks and photograph the experience to share either on social media or with friends & family back home! Book a shopping trip on Friday Or Saturday and ask about visiting local markets with vendors featuring secondhand, locally made goods and vintage treasures! Other things to note Wear comfy shoes! I'm open to taking photos of our finds along the way too so feel free to sport your trendiest travel gear & let me know when to snap some shots for social media. I love documenting:)
