We had a great variety of inclusions on the tour course not everybody likes everything. Our time in the cities seemed limited and allowed us mostly time to find some thing to eat for lunch but not really to explore the cities. I would say Mount Washington was the most memorable experience. The colors were limited the first couple days but then unbelievably dramatic the rest of the tour. I know timing of the leaves changing is always variable and different areas did have different amounts of color. I Our tour guide Paula was the best! As was our driver Don!

The tour was wonderful (ignoring the service). It isn’t receiving 5 stars because we had a couple stops that were in great areas where we had too little time - I’ve.1/2 hour to shop or sightsee (Kennebunk). On another day, we spent more than 2 hours at a single gift shop and cider mill (sans apple orchard).

We loved Boothbay, in particular and it would have been perfect except for the weather, and no hot water in our rooms because of the storm. That aside, we enjoyed it anyway. The accommodations were comfortable and the staff worked very hard during the power outage. The timing, however, after Columbus Day, was not great, as many of the shops in the town had closed after the holiday.Patricia Webb

This was an expensive tour - at least for us. It was a once in a lifetime vacation and the reason we invested with a travel agency is so we wouldn't have to worry. Well, our tour guide was so awful - we had numerous questions that went unanswered. Starting right off the bat - he didn't know where the bus would load the following morning when our tour was supposed to start.

Our trip was 9/30-10/8//17. Colors became prettier as we moved north. New Hampshire and Maine were very nice. Loved eating at the first restaurant in American, The Union Oyster House in Boston. The North Church in Boston was beautiful (Paul Revere saw the lantern from this Church). The small towns throughout the tour were beautiful. Stowe, Vermont and Boothbay Harbor, Maine were lovely (also the two nicest places we stayed: Stowe Mountain Lodge and Spruce Point Inn, Resort and Spa.)
