Fall Tours in USA

Autumn Vacations

Vacations in the spring and summer are iconic for a reason, but there is something truly magnificent about travel in fall. Cooler temperatures bring fewer crowds, and the crisp air and changing leaves set the tone for adventure. Whether in search of colorful foliage or stunning scenery without all the buzz of other tourists, there are so many fantastic places to visit through autumn's peak in October in the USA.

Spending autumn in New England offers travelers the chance to soak in the ambiance of quaint towns while being surrounded by one of nature's most colorful displays. Places to visit in the fall on the East Coast include Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Each state brings its own charms, from pleasant heritage railways to coastal towns and scenic byways, including the world-renowned Kancamagus Highway. Visitors can soak in fall's beautiful hues on lake cruises or from the comfortable seats of deluxe motorcoaches, each offering a fresh perspective on the scenery.

Places to travel in October and November also include destinations across America's West. Aboard Amtrak's California Zephyr, vacationers can head toward national parks, including Yellowstone and Yosemite, or venture out to California. Once in California, the Coast Starlight weaves up the state along the shore of the Pacific to present glamorous cities, wineries, mountains, and more. Fall trips may also stretch across the country, traveling from San Francisco in the West to Chicago in the Midwest or even further to New York in the East, aboard Amtrak trains. There are also autumn tours that highlight New Orleans and the beauty of the deep South. Of all vacations in the U.S., fall trips are perhaps the most unique of all with their wide range of offerings.

Great Parks of the Southwest featuring the Grand Canyon
1/Jun
JOAN GOLINAR
5 stars
“This was our first guided tour in the US. It was tough finding a tour that hit all the major National Parks in Utah which is what I was looking for.We had a very experienced tour guide and novice bus driver. They worked well together and the guide was on top of reservations the entire time. She had time management down to a science and it helped that our other travelers were all very prompt. I was pleased with the amount of pre-programmed activities and time on our own. The hotels were very nice and convenient. I would tour with them again… might skip the initial train ride but overall I was satisfied with the trip.

“This was the first time we’ve traveled by Amtrak. The first leg from Portland to Seattle it was 2 hours late. The second leg from Seattle to Vancouver it broke down and we had to take the bus there. Eric’s team did a good job of rebooking us on Grayhound although we were able to get a ride on another bus line that got us there earlier. As totally unreliable as Amtrak was we did enjoy scenic views and are considering booking another. We loved the Theodore Hotel. They gave us an upgraded room and the hotel was beautiful. We liked the Hilton the least. The prices were incredible $24 for a shot of tequila and $19 for a glass of the worst Chardonnay ever. Plus it was a short pour. The Seattle tour was the worst. On that trip the driver had no speaker so you couldn’t understand half what she said. Stops were very brief and it was all about the history and not much else. If we hadn’t got off at the Space Needle we would have missed that and the very beautiful Chihuly exhibit. Next to the Butchart garden were highlights of our trip.

“The first class accommodation at the lounge was perfect with the shower room ( complete with towels and toiletries), snacks and comfortable chairs. The meals in the train were savory and hot. Enjoyed every one of them. The train ride from Chicago to New Orleans went by pretty quickly with views of the Midwest towns. The hotels provided in Chicago and New Orleans were right in the center of downtown where you could walk to most places. Overall, all 4 of us enjoyed our experience!

“We thoroughly enjoyed our tour through New England. Joe Royle, our tour guide, was very informative, accommodating and entertaining. Joe, our motor coach driver was very experienced and did an excellent job throughout the trip. We highly recommend this beautiful scenic trip especially in the fall to other travelers.
