Classic New England

Known for its historic sites and stunning fall foliage, New England in the fall delights all of the senses. On this fall foliage tour, experience the spectacular beauty of autumn displays in Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

Your colorful tour of New England begins in the historic city of Boston. You’ll head north into Maine, for a visit to the cobblestones of the maritime city of Portland-complete with lighthouses and lobster fisherman. Head to Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island-gateway to the woodlands and rocky sea shores of Acadia National Park. Keep an eye out for local residents, including moose, beaver, whales, and seabirds on your drive through the park. Your guided tour of New England continues inland through the Longfellow Mountains to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Step back in time through classic covered bridges, quaint towns, and forests bursting with seasonal colors. Next, you’ll drive along New Hampshire’s Kancamagus Scenic Byway through the fragrant pine and colorful deciduous forests of Franconia Notch and White Mountain National Forest. You’ll be enthralled with the kaleidoscope of fall colors presented by birch, beech, and maple trees on your way to Vermont’s oldest sugarhouse. From Stowe-popular ski resort and summer favorite-you’ll visit Woodstock, Billings Farm & Museum, and Quechee Gorge State Park. Enjoy a visit to Brattleboro on the shores of the Connecticut River.

Venture on to Rhode Island-the ‘Ocean State’-for a sightseeing tour of the Newport harbor town to hear about its fascinating history. You’ll also tour The Breakers-the turn-of-the-century mansion of shipping magnate, Cornelius Vanderbilt. You’ll return to Boston for a sightseeing adventure to trace the steps of Paul Revere near the Old North Church; see the Boston Common; the old State House; and other locations that are significant to U.S. history along Boston’s Freedom Trail. From colorful American history to colorful fall scenes beyond compare, your escorted vacation in New England is a trip to create memories for all seasons!
