You’ll head north into Maine, for a visit to the charming cobblestoned streets of the maritime city of Portland—complete with lighthouses and lobstermen. Head to Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island—gateway to the woodlands and rocky seashores of Acadia National Park. Keep an eye out for local residents, including 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. You’ll drive along New Hampshire’s Kancamagus Scenic Byway through the fragrant pine and colorful deciduous woodlands of Franconia Notch and White Mountain National Forest. Be enthralled with the kaleidoscope of fall colors of birch, beech, and maple trees on your way to Vermont where you’ll visit a sugarhouse in Montpelier that’s been producing maple syrup for eight generations. Travel to Woodstock where you’ll visit Billings Farm & Museum, an outdoor museum and dairy farm. Continue on to Quechee Gorge State Park, Vermont’s ‘Little Grand Canyon’, to take in views of breathtaking Quechee Gorge. Then see historic Plymouth Rock where the pilgrims on the Mayflower landed in 1620. Spend two nights in Hyannis on Cape Cod including a day trip to the tip of the Cape to explore the small community of Provincetown. 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 colourful American history to colorful fall scenes beyond compare, your escorted holiday in New England is a trip to create memories for all seasons!

Boston - Portland - Bar Harbor

Head north into Maine, famous for its beautiful coastal region, including its legendary lighthouses and lobster industry. Stop in the historic Maritime city of Portland where an included city sightseeing tour upon arrival shows you the cobblestone streets of the famous Old Port waterfront, lined with working fishing wharves and converted warehouses with restaurants and shops. Continue northeast via Bangor, to Bar Harbor, a popular seaside resort and gateway to Acadia National Park.

Meals included: Breakfast

 
Bar Harbor - Excursion to Acadia National Park

Bar Harbor is situated on Mount Desert Island, home of the ruggedly beautiful Acadia National Park. Drive through woodlands, past beaver lodges, rocky beaches, and rounded mountains ascending the glacier-scoured granite peak to the summit of Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the Atlantic Coast and one of the first to see the sunrise. Your afternoon is free to explore the quaint village of Bar Harbor on your own. You may decide to walk the Shore Path, take a nature cruise, or visit the shops, galleries, and boutiques that line the streets. Your Tour Director will have suggestions for additional sightseeing and dining.

Meals included: Breakfast

 
Bar Harbor - Farmington - North Conway

Explore the roads less travelled of inland Maine, past pristine farmland, blueberry barrens and forests noted for their vivid colours during the autumn. Stop to enjoy the small-town hospitality in Farmington, settled by veterans of the American Revolution. Overnight in North Conway.

Meals included: Breakfast

 
North Conway - Montpelier

Today, you are greeted with picture postcard views of New Hampshire’s charming rivers as you drive along Kancamagus Scenic Byway, renowned for its fall leaf viewing. The “Kanc,” as the locals call it, remains unspoiled by homes or service stations for its entire length. A drive through White Mountain National Forest brings you to Franconia Notch. Then visit an eighth-generation sugarhouse and learn about traditional maple sugaring before ending the day in Montpelier, the capital city of Vermont.

Meals included: Breakfast

This morning visit Woodstock, its village green reminiscent of 19th-century England. Next, explore Vermont’s rural heritage at Billings Farm & Museum, a living museum and working dairy farm, home to a famous herd of dairy cows.

Drive across Massachusetts today to Plymouth, the first landing place of the Mayflower Pilgrims in 1620 and see Plymouth Rock. Then cross the Cape Cod Canal, the widest sea-level canal in the world, on your way to the town of Hyannis, on the Cape Cod peninsula. Hyannis is known internationally as the “All-American City” and where you will find the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, award-winning restaurants, and quaint storefronts.

Hyannis - Day Excursion to Provincetown

Today, drive the arm of the Cape, to the old whaling port of Provincetown. This eclectic seaside town is a tiny haven often referred to as “Land’s End.” Stroll MacMillan Pier with its fishing boats and craft shacks, browse the colourful shops of Commercial Street, or dig into a lobster roll, Portuguese pastry, or some fried clams. There’s also time to kick up your wheels on an optional Sand Dune tour in National Seashore Park. Return to Hyannis, where the remainder of your time on the Cape is free for independent activities.
