| About This Tour | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tauck World Discovery traces its origins to Arthur Tauck, Sr., and the New England tours that he began in the 1920s. Our New England tours have been immensely popular ever since. Classic New England is a cornucopia of all the very best that this beautiful area of America can offer. From the rich colonial history of Boston to the charming New England seacoast to the splendors of the Green and White Mountains, this journey is a joy in every season of the year. It is especially wonderful when the leaves don their fall colors. Check out the ecology of the North Woods during a RAVEN-series lecture, cruise aboard a real Maine lobster boat, and see a definitive collection of the work of renowned illustrator Norman Rockwell on this classic among Tauck's New England tours. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
