Fall Foliage Spectacular Tour from Boston

Boston, United States of America

Enjoy the spectacular New England countryside as the leaves turn a multitude of colors during the fall season. A pleasant tour of foliage display is capped by a stop at a native orchard for apples and cider.

Experience the gently rolling New England countryside, awash with the colors of Indian Summer. Travel past quiet ponds and ancient farms, weathered roadside taverns and sturdy colonial churches. Enjoy a hot Yankee style lunch at a quaint New England tavern nestled in the heart of the mountains (cost is additional).

Finish your afternoon with a visit to a native orchard where apples are grown and local (non-alcoholic) cider is made. Pickup and drop off from selected Boston and Cambridge hotels.

This tour is seasonal and operates from September to October

USD $60.00

We enjoyed the trip although we were a bit disappointed that there wasn't more colour. I know this can vary from year to year but a visit mid/end October would probably have been better to see the foliage at its best. However we enjoyed all other aspects of the trip.

very knowledgeable driver. group was much nicer and younger than on other tours I have taken (normally I am half as old as the others (I'm 30) but this time I made a few new friends, too. The lunch portions were very very small, that was disappointing. Driver made an effort to find the good spots and I took some great pictures.

It had rained all day the day before our tour and our driver advised that as a result we may not see the foliage at it's best, added to which this fall hadn't produced the best colours. However despite a misty start to the day, we did see some wonderful colours and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our driver was very informative and interesting. We had plenty of photo opportunities and stopped for a lovely lunch (not included in the price). Overall a lovely day and I would recommend this tour.

Nice trip.

Review by: Gina U	October 2011
Enjoyed it very much. Our driver was very knowledgeable and accommodating and saw some beautiful foliage. Lunch was mediocre.

A good tour - would have been better if the trees had been behaving and changing colour like they should have been! We were really chasing colour all day but didn't see as much as we had expected although travelling through the countryside was pretty and interesting._br/_ Lunch was average but expensive for the quality. Our friends chose not to take the set menu and had a great meal in the bar instead - you don't have to take the set menu although they don't tell you that!_br/_ Pick up on both the tours we took was supposed to be from the Hilton across the road from the Sheraton where we were staying and on both days the coach stopped outside the Sheraton so we had to walk back across the road! And both days it was late - almost half an hour late on the second day!

Great trip, great driver, little long. Would recommend it to others.

Review by: Edward F	October 2011
The worst trip I ever had. The trip should have been cancelled by viator. I should have realized the trip was going to be a bust when the bus driver started off with a disclaimer about the foliage. FOLIAGE WHAT FOLIAGE. I realize companies need to make money. How about a moral obligation on Viators part and resheduele the trip or offer an free ticket for another day._br/_ This is my first and last trip with Viator.

Our tour was "really" great! We enjoyed every minute and our driver, Francis, was fantastic. He MADE the trip!

Review by: Evelyn G	October 2011
It was fantastic and our guide and bus driver was great his name is Francis he was top of the notch, Evely Gagnon

There was a bit of a mix-up with the paper voucher. Even if the instructions on the paper voucher state that you need to present the paper voucher to the tour leader (implying that all you really need to get on the bus is the paper voucher), you still need to go inside the office and exchange the paper voucher for a receipt. Otherwise, the tour was okay. The leaves weren't quite in full bloom yet (not anyone's fault), but our tour guide made up for it by telling historical tidbits about each place.

Review by: desouzan	October 2011
The organisation of the trip was excellent, unfortunately it rained all day but we cannot blame viator or the Grayline tour operator, the driver was knowledgeale and he did not los his sense of humour inspite of the weather

Review by: Monika B	October 2011
Unfortunately, despite the driver talking it up, the tour was too early, there was hardly any colour to be seen at the time. A fairer tour description would be 'possibly spectacular' as this depends on the weather conditions. The driver tried to mke it more so by promising us a 'truly super day' when we got north, which did not happen. Not really value for money, especially when you had to pay more for a mediocre lunch. Not worth doing unless you can see the colours in Boston first.

Review by: Gweneth N	October 2011
Nice drive in country, pity there was no fall foliage. Too long at farm shop which was of no interest except as a shop

Review by: Dennis K	November 2010
A little long but very enjoyable. Would recommend less distance traveled and more stops for photos. Lunch stop was very nice and allowed us to visit with others. Over all, a very good tour.

5 stars

Review by: Curtis C	October 2010
Good trip, with excellent lunch and colors. Very personable driver. Would have liked more stops and less driving. Hard to see and impossible to photo from bus. Otherwise, excellent and a good value.

Review by: Derek C	October 2010
An excellent day out which gave us lots of photo opportunities and a good introduction to the area. The towns that we passed through were really pretty and very different to anything we saw anywhere else. Lunch was very good and our guide, was excellent, funny and informative.

Review by: Vivian A	October 2010
We had a wonderful time. Frank was our driver and keep us informed and laughing during the trip. The fall leaves were still beautiful. Had a great time. Ask for Frank!!

Review by: Hillary M	October 2010
Great tour guide, good service, nice bus, the route was great!

Review by: William L P	October 2010
We had a nice time. The foliage was at peak and beautiful. Our tour guide was adequate and appeared bored much of the time. We've been on bus tours before and had higher expectations.

Review by: Christopher O	October 2010
Was a fantastic tour. Franky was amazing

Review by: David S	October 2010
Very nice trip despite the cold, rainy weather. Driver, Frankie, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw some beautiful sights.

Review by: LUCY K	October 2010
Excellent tour with knowledgeable driver and nice picture ops. Highly recommend. Ticketing and obtaining initial tour details was slow and time consuming.

Review by: Mary J	October 2010
The trip was wonderful--partly because the weather was so good and partly because it was so well organized and carried out. Our driver/guide was enjoyable and considerate. We never felt rushed, but did keep to a schedule that was very full. The stops we made were gave us beautiful views and great opportunities for pictures. Lunch was delicious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. Superb day!!

Review by: Faith M	October 2010
Excellent time had by all! The bus driver was so funny and knowledeable about Boston, New Hampshire and why leaves true color are yellow! One thing though, have the places we stop at have more bathrooms for the ladies! Thank you so much!

Review by: Claire B	October 2010
Driver was excellent and we certainly seemed to cover some ground. However, the photo opportunities were disappointing. The places we stopped at lacked colour or were difficult to get to because of a steep bank and trees obscuring the view across to the colour. The last stop was a supermarket car park! We seemed to drive past places that had more colour. We made a couple of extra drive bys but had to take photographs through the window - pretty hopeless in bright sunlight. Lunch was adequate but not very inspiring and quite slow. I enjoyed the day overall because of the driver and the other passengers, but with a little more thought into the stop off places, this trip would be amazing.

Review by: Judy I H	October 2010
Beautiful tour. Frankie was a fantastic guide and stopped at great places. The leaves were spectacular. The ice cream break was yummy; the lunch delicious. Loved the Oreo cows. The farm/fruit stand was enjoyable too. Apple cider delicious. Wonderful way to see lots!

Review by: Gregoria D	October 2010
Good, friendly people.

Review by: JULIA K	October 2010
Well organised and driver took some very nice detours which meant we saw alot more than scheduled. Unfortunately I was a bit travel sick and having a driver that talked constantly over the speaker system made me feel alot worse, but he did look after us and had I been feeling well I would have enjoyed his commentary (and awful jokes). Lunch was lovely, a home-cooked meal at Lilys on the Pond which was part of the tour. Overall a very handy tour if you don't drive. Thanks Viator!

Review by: Olga S	October 2010
I really enjoyed the fall foliage. The place that we visited were awsome. Thanks!

Review by: Douglas P	October 2010
This tour company provides a driver for each tour, and the driver is also the tour guide. He uses a hand-held mike which makes his commentary somewhat chopped up because he has to drive and hold the microphone at the same time. Given that, the tour took us out into the countryside to view the fall foliage. The main advantage for me was not having to drive a rental car.

Review by: LaDawn S	October 2010
Not what I expected but loved the stops we made and our tour guide was very good.

Review by: Mario C	October 2010
Trees were still green and red not over 15%. We had traveled from Florida just for this tour. I suggest you include a RED INDEX to ensure you level customer expectations

Review by: Ellen L	October 2010
not in real target. not worth to go.

Review by: Isobel B	October 2010
It was our first experience of being treated like animals herded. We were picked up from a hotel but not the ones listed as pick up hotels were pick up hotels. Then despite having an e-ticket we were hearded into a line having to wait to exchange our ticket for a boarding ticket. An hour after we were picked up from the hotel we boarded. The driver made a sarcastic remark as we were slightly late. Also we were given a choice of 3 meals to decide upon immediately for lunch - told that's all we could have. Yet the restaurant had a much bigger menu. The driver hearded us in and out of the bus. Not a pleasant experience. Nevertheless we saw the foliage colour for which we had come.

Review by: LAN L	October 2010
I had a wonderful trip.

Review by: Mario C	October 2010
You should include a "red index"to avoid dissapointed customers. In our case the red index was 1 in an escale 1 to 5. We had flown from Florida just o see the spectacular foliage and it was not what we expected to see. Besides that the bus and lunch were OK.

Review by: Allyson M	October 2010
Really excellent trip and the leaves were just starting to turn...... :) Driver was lovely and really helpful and made the trip even more interesting. Ice-cream stop was amazing!!! Highly recommend this trip......

Review by: Mary S	October 2010
Unfortunately Mother Nature wasn't at her best but the trip was still peasurable. The Driver was very nice.

Review by: Hari K	September 2010
This tour was a nice day's outing with some nice natural scenery. The driver/guide was courteous and knowledgable. The fall colours were not spectacular but that is nature and nobody's fault.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	November 2009
Great day out. The guide was very informative, and the meal was delicious. A relaxing and enjoyable start to our short break in Boston.

Review by: Sebastian K	November 2009
Beautiful weather and nice break from Boston trolleys trips. The hot buttered rum in the restaurant was great.

Review by: Terry A, United Kingdom	October 2009
This trip was excellent apart from the weather which was out of your control. The place we stopped for lunch, Lillies on the Pond, was very good. The food & service was first class. Plenty of stops for photo opportunities.

Review by: Jenny C, United Kingdom	October 2009
Unfortunately the weather was not as good as it could have been but the driver was great and made the day with stories about what we were looking at. The lunch was excellent and very good value, not included in trip. From my point of view very good value and very enjoyable.

Review by: Fred B, United Kingdom	October 2009
My wife and I both found the day most enjoyable, although we wished it was possibly a couple of weeks later when the colors would have been more enhanced.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	October 2009
Excellent tour - well organized, informative guide and well worth the money. Lots of communication from Viator too.

Review by: John F, United States of America	October 2009
Great trip. We expected fall colors and got New England covered with snow. Wonderful time though with great stops and interesting places to see.

Review by: Regina Q, United States of America	October 2009
It was a nice way to see the sights without having to drive. The tour guide was very pleasant and made the trip interesting.
