Five Fond Memories You’ll Make on a Tour of New England’s Fall Foliage 5

A tour through New England’s colorful countryside will enchant you with the spirit of autumn.


Beginning in September, the fresh air grows crisp, daylight dwindles, and apple orchards and pumpkin patches ripen for the harvest. In the New England states, millions of leaves burst with color. It’s a fascinating time of year to visit this area of the country, and we’d like to show you five reasons why our tours of New England are the perfect fall getaway for you.


EXPLORING HISTORIC BOSTON

Spend two nights in one of the United States’ oldest cities, Boston. Famous for its role in the American Revolution, we’ll follow history’s footprints on the Freedom Trail. Accompanied by a costumed guide, we’ll visit many revolutionary sites that played a major role in the fight for America’s independence. Visit other city destinations including the famous Quincy Market, where local artisans have been selling tasty food since the 1820s. We’ll also browse the halls of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum with time to explore its exhibits and see a documentary on the life of one of our most remembered presidents.

Enjoy a relaxing drive through Franconia Notch, one of New England’s most famous scenic passes. We’ll witness New Hampshire’s beautiful peaks, lush forests, and spend a little time at the Flume Gorge Visitors Center. A drive through the state’s Lakes Region provides vast and beautiful views of Lake Winnipesaukee’s nearby mountains and the colorful foliage of the Kancamagus Scenic Highway. Step back in time and join us at the Hancock Shaker Village on our New England Fall Foliage Tour, or a cruise of the 1000 Islands in the St. Lawrence River on the Autumn in New England tour. Located along New York state’s border with Canada, cruising the island-speckled waterway is an unexpected delight.

Holiday Vacations offers two versions of our autumnal tours: New England Fall Foliage and Autumn in New England. Our New England Fall Foliage tour flies into Boston and out of New York City a week later, but our Autumn in New England tour provides an additional five days of attractions and much more time witnessing the fall colors on a motorcoach tour that begins and ends in the Midwest. Additional experiences include an evening in Niagara Falls, one of the world’s most famous waterfalls.
