MAP AT A GLANCE

From the rocky coastline of Maine to the luscious mountains of New

Hampshire and quaint villages of Vermont, New England’s “Wow” factor

is off the charts! Autumn in the Northeast...the colors are brilliant and

the sights spectacular, so “Wow” yourself and join Personalized Tours on

this fall extravaganza. This tour is not your typical New England tour,

but one that travels the back roads to quaint villages and towns,

Day 1—Depart

Excited to start our trek to the northeast as we get acquainted with our fellow travelers.

The day passes quickly before our evening stay in the Cleveland area. (D)

Day 2—Travel Day

We have a delicious breakfast before departing Cleveland this morning. Our colorful drive

looks as though the trees where painted with a brush and outline our path heading

through New York State. (B)

Day 3—Arrive in Boston, MA

Upon arrival in Boston, there will be many options for lunch at Faneuil Hall after greeting

our local guide. Our first stop will be the Boston Tea Party Museum. Relive the event that

started the Revolution. Next, we’ll have the option to explore either the John F. Kennedy

Presidential Library and Museum or the Edward M. Kennedy Institute. Dinner will be

included tonight at a local favorite. (B, D)

Day 4—Explore Boston

We start our day with a tour of Boston with our local guide. Our first stop will be at

Fenway Park. Baseball lover or not, Fenway has stories to tell! Trinity Church is next on

the list. This Boston treasure will feature a one-hour guided tour. After our trip around the

city, we will board the USS Constitution Museum Ship, where you will be able to talk to

sailors about their experiences and hear fantastic stories. There will then be time to

explore the beautiful Old North Church. Our final stop of the day will be at the Paul

Revere House. Our museum guide will lead us through the house and answer any

questions you may have. Dinner tonight will be in the North End. (B, D)

Day 5—Vermont Arrival

After leaving Boston, we make our way to Vermont. Our first stop will be the Mt.

Kearsarge Native American Indian Museum. Situated on 12.5 acres with spectacular

views of the Mink Hills and Mt. Kearsarge, this Indian museum is more than just a building

filled with art, it connects people to 20,000 years of ongoing Native American cultural

expression and stories of sustenance and healing. Next we will stop at King Arthur Flour

for a short history lesson and tasting of their famous bread. Our last stop is Rock of Ages,

the largest deep-hole granite quarry in the world. Our tour will tell us all about the history,

the area’s cultural heritage, artistry, geology, and more. (B, D)

Day 6—Wine and Ice Cream

Another busy day—we begin by visiting the famed Trapp Family Lodge for a wonderful

tour. This lodge is where the Von Trapps made their home after leaving Austria during

World War II. Next we make a stop at a local Cider Mill and Winery: a Vermont legend

since 1974, this mill is now New England’s largest producer of apple cider. Ready for a

sweet treat? Ben and Jerry’s is where we head next and enjoy a visit to hear about this

famous “scoop shop.” We end our day with a stop at the New England’s Smithsonian. This

museum is unparalleled in American history, art and design. (B, D)

Day 7—Country Pleasures

Our local guide will meet us today before our first stop at a Morgan Horse Farm. At the

farm, the staff is dedicated to maintaining and training Vermont’s state animal. We’ll learn

about its history and see the beautiful Morgan’s up close. This afternoon, we make a stop

at the home of Robert Todd Lincoln, Hildene. This is where Lincoln’s descendants lived

until 1975. The Norman Rockwell Poster Museum is next on the agenda. This wonderful,

small museum collection has an array of work by Norman Rockwell. Finally, we stop at the

Vermont Country Store. You’ll find brands such as Tangee Lipstick, Buster Brown Socks,

and Tinkertoys — a real trip down memory lane. (B, D)

Day 8—Maine

St. Gaudens National Historic Site will be our first place to explore this morning along with

an informative tour. A true New England town will be our location for lunch before arriving

in Maine and sluicing for our own rare minerals! A local expert will help identify your finds

before we head off the a Maine Balsam Tree Farm, where we will take a tour and create

our own memorable take-home treasure. (B, D)

Day 9—Explore Maine

After breakfast we have a full day of exploring Maine. The Maine Wildlife Park is home to

more than 30 species of Maine wildlife that cannot be returned to their natural habitats.

Our guide will lead us through the park and help us see some beautiful animals like the

mighty moose. Lunch will be in Boothbay Harbor on your own before we enjoy a cruise.

Lighthouses, playful seals, snug coves, and busy harbors are just some of what we’ll see.

Before our dinner in Portland, we will stop by a local potter in downtown for a

demonstration and a look around their shop. (B, D)

Day 10—Lobsters Aplenty

The day is spent exploring Maine culture, including a lobstering lesson along the rocky

Maine coastline. Not only will you see lobster traps hauled from the sea, but you will learn

about the challenging life of a lobster fisherman. Our local guide in Kennebunkport will

take us on a tour of the region, including the summer cottage of Former President George

H.W. Bush. (B)

Day 11—Westerly Direction

We are amazed at how fast our journey through New England went. So many sights and so

much information on things we have never experienced before. (B, D)

Day 12—Home Sweet Home

After a fantastic 12 days filled with beautiful scenery, intriguing history, great food and

new friends, we arrive home. (B)
