October 4-11, 2023 | Classic New England Fall Colors Tour

Picture it.  UNBELIEVABLE drives through the foliage, the imposing White Mountains of New Hampshire, Vermont’s Green Mountains (ablaze with color), the serene Adirondacks in New York, historic Plymouth, Mass, delicious lunch overlooking Cape Cod, a stroll in charming Lake Placid, Ten-Mile Drive in Newport, Rhode Island, fascinating history in Boston and so much more. 

We have operated this tour for over 20 years. We know that you are on this tour to see the fall colors, and we know where to find them! This itinerary is timed to enjoy the foliage from almost every day on this tour (Boston and Plymouth turn a bit later). Temps are pleasant, fall is in the air and it is a GREAT time to be on THIS tour!

This one fills fast.  Don’t wait!

October 4:  This morning we’ll meet at the airport for our flight to Boston, Mass.  Upon arrival, our comfortable motor coach will be waiting.  Our bus is new, air-conditioned, restroom and DVD equipped with a great sound system.   After checking into our hotel, we’ll enjoy a delicious dinner at Pulcari’s Italian Restaurant in Woburn.  D

October 5:  Today we’ll enjoy Boston, perhaps our country’s most interesting city.  We’ll be met by a local guide this morning who will show us his historic hometown.  We’ll begin in Lexington and Concord where the Revolutionary War began.  It is spectacular any time, but in the fall the scene is magnificent.  After lunch at Quincy Market (a delightful place to browse), we’ll see the city sights such as Paul Revere Home, Old Ironsides, the Old North Church and more.  There’s just something special about Boston.  That feeling is enhanced in the glory of the autumn foliage and the crisp fall feeling in the air.  We’ll stay in the Boston area again tonight.  B

October 6:  Here we go!  This morning we’ll head north on I-95 across the New Hampshire border to beautiful Wolfeboro, on the shores of scenic Lake Winnipesaukee.  We’ll board the George Washington and enjoy lunch during our 75 minute cruise across the lake to Weirs Beach where our driver will meet us.   We continue north into New Hampshire’s White Mountains.   We’ll drive along a portion of the Kancamangus Highway which is a 45 minute stretch of incredible fall vistas.  We’ll make several picture stops along the way including a perfect covered bridge, Rocky Scenic Gorge and a delightful stroll to Sabbaday Falls.  On our way to the hotel, we’ll see the beautiful Mount Washington Hotel, Crawford Notch (dramatic scenery) and the Silver Plume Falls. The beauty in this area cannot be overstated. The combination of green pines and maples of every color against the granite of New Hampshire are our country’s most famous fall scenes and you’ll see why. Our hotel tonight is in Gorham at the Town and Country Inn in the midst of the White Mountains.  We’ll have a four course meal at the resort which sits on a beautiful golf course surrounded by tree-covered hills.  B, D

October 7: Today we continue our scenic journey.  After a delicious New England-style breakfast, we will enjoy some of the most spectacular fall foliage of the tour (nature permitting).  We will drive to the north making a stop in the town of Stark with its famous church and covered bridge.  We’ll continue into Vermont and enjoy lunch in St. Johnsbury.  We’ll also visit a fun maple syrup museum/gift store (and a surprise!).  We’ll continue west and make a fun browsing stop at Cold Hollow Cider Mill outside of Montpelier.  We continue to the shores of Lake Champlain and take a short ferry across the lake. Our hotel is just across the lake.   B, D

October 8:   This morning we wake up in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.  Our first stop is the famous Ausable Chasm, a deep gorge formed by the river.  We’ll follow the scenic Ausable River toward Lake Placid where we’ll enjoy lunch and a chance for some browsing.  Lake Placid is one of the region’s charming towns in a picturesque setting.  If time and weather permits, we’ll ascend to the top of Whiteface Mountain for spectacular views.  From Lake Placid, we’ll work our way south.  Our drive today is one of the most scenic drives of the trip as we make our way through the vibrant color.  Part of our journey takes along the shores of Lake George.  The area is heavily wooded with different views around every turn.  We’ll have a rest stop in the town of Lake George in a postcard setting.  Our hotel is in Latham, New York.  B

October 9:  About an hour from our hotel is the delightful town of Stockbridge in the fabled Berkshire Hills.  We’ll visit the Norman Rockwell Museum and spend some time seeing a renowned display of Americana.  It contains the largest collection of Norman Rockwell paintings.  Mr. Rockwell spent many years in Stockbridge.  The museum is a highlight.  We’ll then travel scenic highway 20 through Springfield into Old Sturbridge.  This is classic New England.  Old homes, town church, tree-covered streets and that “Old England” feel.  We’ll have a late lunch (about 2:00) at the historic Publick House which was established during the Revolutionary War.  The history and the food (served in period costumes) are unforgettable.  We’ll take a late afternoon drive along scenic route 169 in northern Connecticut as we make our way in to our hotel, arriving at our hotel by 6:00.  B, L

October 10:  Welcome to Rhode Island!  We’re one hour from Newport, where we’ll spend most of the morning.  Newport has long been the favored vacation site of the rich and famous.  A local guide will join us and show us the famous “Ten-Mile Drive”, which boasts exquisite estates from Newport’s memorable “Gilded Age”.  After lunch, you can go through The Breakers, the most palatial of all the estates in Newport (once the seaside cottage of the Vanderbilts).  We’ll then enjoy a one hour drive into Plymouth, Mass which is a great place to end our tour.  You’ll have time to wander along Cape Cod and enjoy dinner on your own.  B

October 11:  We’ve enjoyed an incredible autumn experience to this point and we’ll finish the tour in style.  We’ll show you the area with a local expert to show us the historical sites and more.  Lunch is included at the Waterfront Grill overlooking Cape Cod.   We then return to the airport for our flight home.  We’ve completed our circle and created some lasting memories along the way.   It will be an autumn to remember!  B, L

Registration Information:

To make a reservation, simply fill out the attached reservation form and send it to us with a deposit of $300 per person.  When we receive your deposit, we will mail you a receipt confirming that you are registered for the tour.  A letter with instructions, hotel itinerary flight information (if applicable) and luggage tags will be sent roughly 60 days prior to departure at which time the balance will be due.  You do not need to pay the balance until after you receive that packet.  We require final payments in the form of a check.  If that is not possible, arrangements can be made to use a credit card.  Webb Tours accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. A 2% fee applies to final payments made by credit card.

Cancellation Penalties

We understand that you may need to cancel your trip for whatever reason.  If it is 60 days or more before departure, all money will be refunded.  If airline tickets are purchased prior to that time (with your permission), they become the property of the traveler and are not refundable.  All other funds will be returned if cancellation occurs outside of 60 days.  If it is within 60 days, we will charge you only what Webb Tours cannot recover.  In some cases, we can recover all of it.  In others, we cannot.  Cruise lines, airlines, hotels and other service providers require funds in advance and have their own rules about what will be refunded once paid.  We must follow their guidelines.  For airlines, specifically, tickets are generally non refundable when purchased.  However, most airlines will allow the value of the canceled tickets to be reused for future travel, though a penalty may be assessed to reuse the tickets.  If you have to cancel, Webb Tours will work with other providers to obtain as much refund as possible for our travelers.  Our travelers know us to be very fair in this regard.

Cancellation Insurance: 

Cancellation insurance is also available should you be interested.  The insurance provider that we us is Travelex Insurance.  You can learn about them at www.travelexinsurance.com.  With this insurance, most of your money will be returned to you in case you have to cancel for covered reasons (illness or death of an immediate family member) at the last minute.  The price for the insurance varies based on the price of the trip and the age of the participant (at the time the insurance is purchased). 

If you are interested in the insurance, you can purchase it through Webb Tours at any time. The insurance goes into effect once purchased.  If you have any pre-existing conditions, it is best to purchase the insurance within 14 days of making your initial deposit as that will cover an illness that may result from a pre-existing condition. If you don’t have pre-existing conditions, you can purchase the insurance any time between now and the time you make your final payment.  Insurance cannot be purchased after your final payment is made.  Webb Tours is not the insurer and acts as agent for Travelex.  To activate your insurance, we need your premium and your birth date.  Insurance also includes the following items:
