What people love about East Coast USA Tours in September
- 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. .
- Fall Colours of New England
The experience was wonderful, the tour guide, the driver and everyone involved in the support of the people during the trip. We went more places than mentioned in the brochure and the ones mentioned were great. The only disappointment was the timing of the colors. This is always a crap shoot and we were a week to early! However the other attractions on the tour made up for the colors. ***** Thanks to all the support staff !!
