Grand New England

We were too early for fall color change. It was raining during the carriage ride at Acadia National Park but our cheerful carriage driver made us feel like it was bright & sunny. Despite the timing disappointment, our experienced tour director choreographed trip perfectly w/emphasis on comfort,surprise activities & snack treats. Bus driver safest best

Most Memorable Moment:

Lobstering in Portland, schooner ride on FrenchmanBay, enjoying views from Mt Washington & Cadillac ,Penobscot bridge observatory & our Bar Harbor Inn room. Eating as much lobster while in Maine. Big difference in freshness taste eating lobster in Maine than anywhere else in U.S. Tauck high standards were met on only our 4th Tauck tour. Back for 5th next yr.

We enjoyed our Grand Tour of New England trip very much. While the agenda is quite packed on most days, resulting in fairly late arrivals at hotels, we found most of the stops to be interesting and worthwhile. The Norman Rockwell Museum exceeded expectations by far. Excellent food (maybe too much?), great hotels, and the fall colors came through!

Most Memorable Moment:

We especially enjoyed the Omni Mt. Washington Hotel and the beautiful setting. While the dining room there is nothing to boast about, the restaurant just down a wooded path at the Bretton Arms Inn was outstanding. Acadia NP was the highlight of the trip for us - the carriage ride, Jordan Pond, the schooner ride in Bar Harbor, all special.
