About the tour
Behold the brilliance of nature's seasonal finale in New England this fall. For 6 days, find yourself surrounded by sights of gold, rust and crimson as you travel through leaf-peeping hotspots in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. Begin with time in Boston, where a guided tour acquaints you with the most historically significant sites of the city, including Quincy Market, which has served Boston since 1826. A deluxe motorcoach takes us out of the city and along one of the most famous fall foliage byways in the United States, the Kancamagus Highway, en route to North Conway, NH. Enjoy the colorful vistas of fall by train, as we ride the Mt. Washington Cog Railway, and from the water aboard the Spirit of Ethan Allen cruise of Lake Champlain. During our time in Vermont, we also visit a cold cider mill and enjoy some time in the town of Stowe, where a gondola ride allows us to take in the beauty of autumn from yet another perspective: above. A ride aboard Amtrak's Vermonter presents even more of the seasonal splendor of the East. As we arrive in Lebanon, enjoy a look at "Vermont's Little Grand Canyon," the Quechee Gorge, before returning to Boston. Using several modes of transportation and visiting some of the most popular destinations in the region, this journey makes it easy to see why New England is a leaf peeper's dream.

Despite a few minor issues, we really enjoyed our trip. It mainly was a bus tour, but that was not an issue for us. We enjoyed the views in and out of the bus. We did unique activities. One was climbing up to Mt Washington on the COG railroad. The minor issues we experienced was due to a miscommunication with the tour manager on where to meet her at the hotel to check in for the trip on the very 1st day. Also we were not given enough time to find a place to eat for our lunch in Woodstock Vt because the town was so busy. Most of the restaurants had a waitlist, We were only allowed 1&1/2 hours. However the town was very quaint. We would have liked to spend more time there. All in all the trip was very faced paced, We got a taste of fall in New England. Thus the name of the trip “ New England in a Nutshell.”

We enjoyed our trip completely with one exception. That being our hotel reservations where not booked properly. We had to work each hotel stop directly with the front desk to correct reservations. Other than that the trip was well worth the money and our guide was outstanding.

Overall it was excellent. BUT Quincy market was a waste of time, lunch at Mt. Washington was poor and Woodstock should not be a lunch stop. Restaurants and restrooms there were overwhelmed by 2 tour buses. Tour guide, bus driver, and Boston tour guide were all quite knowledgeable and excellent.
