We hope you enjoy our interactive website of historic Cape Ann which is situated about 30 miles north of Boston. Coastal Visits is currently Cape Ann's only Guided Tour company which includes the city of Gloucester, and the Towns of Rockport and Essex. Owned and operated by Ann and Bob Marquis, local residents.
 
We are what many people in the travel trade refer to as a "niche company." So many people visit the area but miss much of the history, local lore and nooks and crannies. Cape Ann is a treasure trove that deserves more than a "Drive Thru."

Rather than cram our guests on a huge bus, we decided from the outset to offer a comfortable and intimate setting aboard our "mini Bus." Because of these smaller numbers, your choices are greatly expanded. Partnering with local inns and various attractions we provide excursions on land and sea that will excite the senses.

Whether you are an interested traveler, corporate planner, group leader; let us assist in creating a memorable experience during your visit.
