EF Go Ahead Tours Unveils America 250 Special Departure

EF Go Ahead Tours has launched a new 2027 guided land tour that celebrates America’s history.

America 250: The American Revolution from Boston to Yorktown is an 11-day tour that visits key sites in the story of America’s founding. The itinerary begins in Boston and ends in Richmond, Virginia, with stops in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Yorktown. Highlights of the special departure include sightseeing through the battlefields that defined the American Revolution, a Fourth of July fireworks show over the Charles River, and a Hamilton performance at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre.

The America 250 tour will feature a maximum of 28 travelers. This tour is being offered as a single departure on July 4, 2027, and is now available to book.

EF Go Ahead Tours has announced that author and historian Dr. Iris de Rode will join the group for the southern portion of the tour, acting as the on-tour expert and guide from Philadelphia through Yorktown. An award-winning academic, Dr. de Rode is best known for appearing on Ken Burns’ documentary series, The American Revolution.

“The story of the American Revolution is not just one of colonial rebels and British redcoats — it is a story of an extraordinary alliance, of French officers who crossed an ocean because they believed in the idea of liberty, and of men like Washington and Chastellux who forged that partnership in the mud of Valley Forge and on the fields of Yorktown,” said de Rode. “Walking these sites with travelers is a privilege. The ground at Valley Forge, at the Brandywine, at Yorktown — it still holds the weight of what happened there. I look forward to helping travelers feel that weight, and to understand that the independence America celebrates today was won through sacrifice, strategy, and an unlikely friendship between two nations.”
