I loved this New England tour—it checked off almost everything on my bucket list! We started in Boston, where exploring Quincy Market and dining at a local restaurant was a blast. In Kennebunkport, our guide was fantastic and the Maine lobster was delicious. The scenic train ride up Mount Washington and our stop at the Trapp Family Lodge were both memorable. The whole trip was well organized, and both the tour director and local guides were friendly and helpful. The bus was always spotless, and our driver was great. There were so many highlights, but my favorites were the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Mark Twain House, and the stunning Martha’s Vineyard tour. I only wish we had more time at the Newport Mansions—what an experience! If you want to truly experience New England with a fun and organized group, this tour is perfect. Highly recommend this trip.Show more
