Review & FAQ:

Few places in the United States can claim to be more historic than Nantucket. In fact, the entire town of Nantucket is a National Historic District and provides the opportunity to walk through streets mostly unchanged since the 1850’s. Visitors will find the town is filled with small, boutique shops and gourmet, chef-operated restaurants. Renting a bicycle on which you can tour the small town and its waterfront is a perfect way to enjoy the charm of this national treasure. If you tire of the history and architecture of the area, a respite on one of the island’s 10 beaches is the prescribed activity.
