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.

I was on a fall foliage tour with Globus. The guide was great, the itinerary was also very nice and I enjoyed it very much. I was however disappointed that despite Globus claiming on their website that they have "small group" tours that average 24 people there were 42 on our tour. I guess I should look for advertisement of the total group size instead of thinking that an "average" of 24 would be closer to 24 than to 42! Proof of vaccination was required, which was necessary for me to sign up in the first place but I truly felt deceived that my "small group" was almost double the average.

Summer tours really showcase New England's maritime culture and outdoor activities. Multiple itineraries feature whale watching expeditions where marine experts help spot humpbacks off Cape Cod's coast. Our cycling tours take advantage of long summer days - you can ride Acadia's car-free paths and ferry out to islands like Vinalhaven for swimming in granite quarries. The White Mountains offer excellent hiking in summer, with guided treks up Mount Washington and overnight stays in mountain huts. Our travelers particularly enjoy how summer tours mix active mornings with relaxed afternoons exploring coastal towns like Newport, Bar Harbor and also Provincetown. The seafood is exceptional this time of year - you'll find fresh lobster pulls, oyster tastings and traditional clambakes included in many itineraries.
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall brings New England's most sought-after tours as the foliage creates a spectacular backdrop. Our most popular routes wind through Vermont's Green Mountains and New Hampshire's White Mountains when colors peak, typically late September through October. Several tours combine visits to working maple farms and apple orchards with gentle walks through golden forests. The coastal routes are equally appealing - you can cycle quiet roads past crimson-colored salt marshes or take guided walks along Cape Cod's shoreline. Our travelers consistently praise how these autumn tours balance scheduled activities with free time to explore historic towns like Woodstock, Stowe and also North Conway when they're dressed in fall colors. The farm-to-table experiences are exceptional this season, from cranberry bog harvests to fresh cider pressing.
