During Boston Orientation, you will learn everything there is to know about leading a class trip with Smithsonian Student Travel. You will meet with experienced group leaders and attend Smithsonian-led professional development seminars that will help you engage your students before, during and after your tour. We cover topics including airport check-in, bus transfers, hotels, meals and much more.

Plus, we leave time for you to explore Boston! Join us on a walking tour of the Hub, experience Boston aboard an authentic replica amphibious WWII landing vehicle (a Duck Tour!) and join us on a day trip to historic Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II, an authentic replica of the Pilgrim’s sailing vessel.

Take a look at some photos from our 2008 Boston Orientation and our group’s visit to Plimoth Plantation:
