Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Boston: The Red Sox and Celtics, the Freedom Trail and Boston Cream Pie, Americas oldest city, Beantown extends a warm welcome. Meet your Travel Director this afternoon. Maybe you want to head down to the Seaport District to discover just how seriously Boston takes its reputation as a seafood capital. Local specialities include scrod, fresh lobster and creamy chowder, each cooked fresh, steaming and delicious.
  • Day 2 - Boston, Plymouth, South Yarmouth: Follow the cobblestones of the Freedom Trail, ticking off historical sites like Quincy Market, the State Capitol and Boston Common. Leave Boston behind on your New England tour, travelling to Americas Hometown of Plymouth. Later, wind back the clock with a visit to the Plymouth Patuxet Museums, a meticulously recreated version of the original 17th-century Plymouth Colony. You'll even see a full-scale reproduction of the Mayflower II, one of the many hundreds of ships that made the transatlantic crossing to the Americas in the 1600s.
  • Day 3 - South Yarmouth, Cape Cod, Provincetown, Hyannis, South Yarmouth: Depart the hotel and head for Provincetown at the very tip of Cape Cod, rolling along the Old Kings Highway. First stop? The Salt Pond Visitor Center, where you get the lowdown on the Capes dunes, marshes and wildlife. Then its off to artsy Provincetown with its galleries, cafes and Portuguese fishing roots. This afternoon your MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience takes you to Truro Vineyards to hear how they use sustainable vineyard methods, smart green design and local sourcing on a relaxed tasting. Wrap it all up with a Choice Experience cruise through Hyannis Harbour, ticking off lighthouses, Squaw Island and the Kennedy Compound.
  • Day 4 - South Yarmouth, Berkley, Newport, Providence: This morning, cross the Cape Cod Canal to visit one of New England's iconic cranberry bogs before continuing to Rhode Island on your New England tour. You will get a unique glimpse into the cranberry farming business, learning all about the cultivation and harvesting of cranberries. If you are lucky, you will also witness the iconic flooded bogs and vibrant red cranberries being prepared for fall harvest. In Newport, take in the dazzling mansions dotted along the coastline dubbed Newport's 10-Mile Ocean Scenic Drive. You'll have the chance to see the collection of mansions built by New York's wealthiest families on our Choice Experience visiting the Breakers Mansion, a summer cottage of the Vanderbilts, before continuing to Providence, home of Brown University.
  • Day 5 - Providence, Killington: Kick off the day with an Iconic Breakfast at Francescas in Rhode Island. This family-owned diner dishes up Mexican favourites alongside classic American breakfast staples a tasty nod to the states underrepresented Mexican community. Then its on to Shelburne Falls, a little town with a big surprise the Bridge of Flowers. This former trolley bridge now blooms with colour from end to end, and its as photo-worthy as it sounds. By afternoon, youll roll into Killington. The best part? Two nights here and the freedom to spend the afternoon however you like. Hike, relax, or simply enjoy the mountain air its all on your terms.
  • Day 6 - Killington, Stowe, Montpelier, Killington: Green peaks and green valleys, travel past the appropriately named Green Mountains to Vermont's capital, Montpelier. Meander through the charming streets and past the states gold-domed capital building before pulling up at Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks. Go local, tasting Sugar on Snow, a traditional sweet treat made by pouring hot, maple syrup over ice. Grab your camera for a quick stop in Stowe before pulling into Killington to round out the day of your New England tour.
  • Day 7 - Killington, North Conway: New Englanders know a thing or two about incredible scenery, and youll be right there with them today crossing from Vermonts Green Mountains to New Hampshires White Mountains. Keep your camera handy as you travel along The Kanc, a historic National Scenic Byway, leading to your North Conway home for the next two nights.
  • Day 8 - North Conway: Red, burnt orange and yellow leaves stretch out in every direction as you head into the White Mountains. Tick off the tallest peak in the Northeast, Mount Washington, on your way through Crawford Notch State Park, and pull up at Silver Cascade Falls, which twists, turns and cascades 250 feet down the side of Mount Jackson. Your time in North Conway isnt over yet, so get local and stroll past the restored buildings, antique shops and treasure-trove bookshops of the historic downtown.
  • Day 9 - North Conway, Kennebunkport, Portsmouth, Boston: Its the last day on your New England tour, but the fun isnt over yet! Vast forests, pretty seaside villages, and cliff-lined shores will dot your adventure through Maine. Make a stop in Kennebunkport, packed with boutiques and flashy art galleries and take a trip back in time with Portsmouths 18th-century buildings and seaside vibes. End the day back where it all began, Boston.
  • Day 10 - Boston: Your adventure through New England's Fall Foliage comes to an end this morning. Make your own way to Boston Logan International Airport. Or, if Boston still has more youd like to discover, you have the choice of extending your stay a few more days.
