What people love about East Coast USA Tours from Boston
- Fall Colours of New England
The tour experiences, excellent work by tour director Pam and most of the hotels were wonderful. Having grown up in the east, now living in the west, I loved seeing the autumn leaves and delightful small towns. Overall, this tour was a bit too strenuous for me at the age of 81 and with arthritic knees.
- New England's Fall Foliage (Classic)
The level of service was outstanding, from hotels, food, and information to all of the fun. This was our first tour and we were not sure if we would like it, but we are hooked!
- Cape Cod & the Islands
The tour guide and coach driver were both great. The Sheraton in Boston could use some updating. The Viking Hotel in Newport was beautiful but our bathroom was tiny. We would have enjoyed time at the beach but the itinerary was too jam packed
