What people love about New England Tours from Boston
- New England's Fall Foliage (Classic)
Great tour. Our trip director/narrator Howie Geib was excellent. Bus driver Alex was also excellent. Accommodations was spot on.. I would recommend this tour to all. .
- Cape Cod & the Islands
Excellent - it was a great trip
- Fall Colours of New England
It was a great tour with a pretty good guide. The Holiday Inn Express in Pittsfield was definitely one I would never go back to. When we arrived, the hallways smelled like a sewer, and evidently they were having issues on the second floor. There was a long brown hair (I have short blonde and what my husband does have is gray) on the corner rim of our tub when we got there and it was still there when we left. Anthony, our bus driver, was excellent--courteous, kind, and helpful. Scott was good, but he kept looking things up on Google and relaying the information to us. To me, he should have been a little more prepared if he is going to be a guide. But, he kept everything going on time, and spent hours looking for our luggage which had been put in an empty room (again at the Pittsfield Holiday Inn Express).
