Road Scholar is an easy way to travel and easily see things that I might not have seen otherwise. Every detail is taken care of.

The On the Road: The Best Fall Foliage in New England (7-17 Oct 2024) was a 'bucket-list' trip. As a young soldier at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, I raked many leaves in New England; this trip gave me a much better appreciation of the region's color and beauty. I recommend the tour to those who haven't witnessed a fall in its splendor.

We had a fabulous time of sight seeing and learning "ON THE ROAD: THE BEST FALL FOLIAGE IN NEW ENGLAND" There were several 1800s Inns we stayed in that were restored and modernizes and were so fun along with the local experts and history we enjoyed at many stops. Loved going out on a lobster boat, learning about the lobster industry, the process of collecting maple and processing it for syrup with tasting of course and the Shelburned Museum in Vermont is amazing. Our group leader was fantastic, the group was fun and many friendships made. Estelle

Even though we live in New England, we fully enjoyed this program. Interesting, we learned much, and the sights visited were so fascinating. Love the pace and scenery. The food was terrific as well. The group was lively and fun, we had a ball!

This trip provides a wonderful overview of New England during the fall foliage season. You'll enjoy visiting Boston, Salem, Mount Washington and small cities and villages in four states. If you are fortunate, you will have Lili Murad as your group leader.

Great adventure! Historical Boston, the dramatic Maine coast, the beautiful mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont made for a varied and enriching trip. My first trip with Road Scholar and my first trip traveling solo. I found the trip to be both invigorating and relaxing and I made somany friends. Guides were excellent. It’s difficult to know when the fall colors are at their best. Don’t worry about it - just go and enjoy everything on this beautiful trip.

This is a wonderful trip. The leaf colors were not at their peak but it was still beautiful. Mike was an excellent leader, always efficient, helpful, and humorous, and Charlie drove the bus very safely even when it was difficult. The food for the entire trip was some of the best I have had on a Road Scholar trip. Some highlights were going out on a lobster boat and viewing the catch up close and going to the top of Mount Washington on the cog railway and having it clear enough to see all around and not be freezing. The Shelburne Museum was fantastic with so many different buildings and so much to see. It was interesting seeing how stone fences are made. The museum in Ogunquit was beautiful both inside and outside. Each place we stayed was good and very different but my favorite was The Grafton Inn. The group of 32 was very friendly, as is typical of Road Scholar groups.

The Best Fall Foliage in New England program was so inspirational and informative. I learned so much about how our country was formed and how our forefathers fought so hard to gain our freedom and independence from the British. The fall colors were a spectacular sight and from what I understand they were in peak color while we were there. It's official, I'm now a leaf peeper! The trip was fabulous, there was so much to see, learn, and do.

The leadership by the tour guide was superb. She responded well to the various members of the group and had a good sense of humor. The driver had some hard patches to deal with and did so skillfully. I would strongly recommend this guide and this driver.

What a beautiful enlightening trip. Terrific guide, personable and friendly co-travelers, wonderful accommodations and meals. I was concerned that the pace would be more than I could handle due to some physical challenges over the last 2 years, but I was able to keep up and ended up walking 30 miles in the 10 days!! Quite a feat for me!

I had never been to New England before so the trip was very fun and interesting. Our leader was excellent.

This is the ideal program to take if you want to sample many different areas of New England. The itinerary is well planned, with many stops at local area places (not all museums) that demonstrate New England as it was and is today. Accommodations and meals were excellent . Ending the trip at a wood educated Vermont Inn was a highlight
