Landing site of the Pilgrims and powder keg for the American Revolution, New England has a significant past that has left a historical legacy across all six of its states. But there’s much more to present-day New England than its seismic past. Our specialists spend a lot of time each year exploring the region, which is as rich in experiences as it is small in proportions, so they can help you plan your New England vacation.
Driving is an easy way of getting around and, en route, you start to appreciate the different personalities of New England’s six constituent states. Land-locked Vermont boasts white clapboard churches and red-barn dairy farms. Lashed by the Atlantic, Maine feels wilder and conjures the landscapes of Andrew Wyeth’s paintings. New Hampshire, which only brushes the coast, features lakes and the White Mountains National Forest. Massachusetts has progressive Boston at its heart, and adjoining Rhode Island and Connecticut respectively lay claim to Gilded Age Newport and Yale University.
Wherever your journey takes you, our New England specialists will meticulously plan it around your tastes and interests.
