Best Time To Plan A New England Fall Tour

Best Time To Plan A New England Escorted Fall Foliage Tour 

The main difference between traveling through a New England fall versus anywhere else in the world is timing. When planning your 2024 Escorted Fall Foliage tour, you must first realize that this event occurs during a small window of time. If you wait too long, you’ve missed it, and if you arrive too early, well you’ll miss it. This being said, and knowing what you know now, the best time to plan a tour like this is a year in advance. You should then plan to be booked nine (9) months prior to your departure. It’s really as simple as that if you wish to confirm your space and purchase the least expensive airfare. Due to the narrow window of time, space is normally sold out within six (6) months of peak fall, and by this time airfare can be over $500.00 per person area, which is what you want to avoid.

Get All Your Top Fall Travel Questions Answered

When's the ideal time to see peak colors? What are the best driving routes? Where will I find the most vibrant vistas? We have answers to the most frequently asked questions about planning a New England autumn getaway. Learn insider secrets for timing your trip, scenic highways not to miss, top sightseeing destinations, and much more!

Next, take in New Hampshire's White Mountains, including vistas from Mt. Washington and the famed Kancamagus Highway overlooking blazing autumn hills. Drove through North Conway. Cap your Granite State explorations in Bretton Woods and Franconia Notch before crossing into majestic Vermont.

In Vermont, trace the footsteps of early fall sojourners who came for the healing mountain air at Maine's oldest summer resort. Sample maple ciders while traversing gaping mountain vistas erupting in autumn's palette.

Cap off your New England fall escape touring Maine's rugged coastline. Spend two nights encountering Bar Harbor's coastal splendor and Acadia National Park's awe-inspiring treasures like Cadillac Mountain. Further south, relax amid Cape Cod's storybook Victorian villages, vistas dotted with lighthouses, and the historical legacy of Plymouth Rock. Before returning home, partake in an exhilarating whale watching cruise. Nestled off the coast of Maine lies Mount Desert Island, a magical isle combining dramatic coastal scenery and brilliant fall foliage.

I'm happy that I came across Atlas Cruise & Tours, with so many options out there when it comes to travel planning, it is refreshing to come across an agency that is professional,personable, & local. Not only, will they answer all your questions, they will also find you the best deals & rates for your budget. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a white glove treatment.

Gabriella has helped me with reservations for 2 different trips. For both trips, she answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. She is always professional in her customer service, and her pricing of my trips were excellent. Because of this, I will continue to use Atlas for all my future trips.
