Caravan Tours: Motorcoach Travel at it’s Best
Caravan Tours began selling fully escorted tours in 1952. They have been under the same management and ownership ever since. In 1965, Roger Mudd hosted a two-hour CBS TV special on Caravan Tours. This TV production took about one month to make and was so successful it inspired the 1968 romantic comedy movie “If it’s Tuesday this must be Belgium.” In the early 50’s the Mayor of Dublin presented Caravan with the Key to Dublin for bringing the first American tour to the city after WWII. Since then Caravan has been recognized as a pioneer in travel. Take advantage of the changing weather and check out the 8-days New England Summer and Fall Colors Tour from $995:
Itinerary stops include Boston’s Old North Church, where Paul Revere began his famous midnight ride; Plymouth Rock, where you can see the Battle Green where “the shot heard around the world” signaled the start of the American Revolution. Follow the route of Paul Revere from Lexington to Concord. Then head south and stop at Plymouth Rock where pilgrims from the Mayflower landed. Then it’s off to Martha's Vineyard, a haven for artists, poets, singers and celebrities who are attracted to its laid-back, charming lifestyle. Visit the historic whaling town of Edgartown with its narrow streets and elegant homes. Next stop is Rhode Island and Connecticut: visit the historic Vanderbilt “summer cottage,” The Breakers. After a sightseeing drive of Newport you’ll get to visit Mystic Seaport, the nation’s leading maritime museum. From here you’ll head into the beautiful Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, where Norman Rockwell spent the last 25 years of his life and visit the Norman Rockwell Museum. Take a scenic mountain drive along country roads to Plymouth Notch, birthplace of President Calvin Coolidge. Next stop is the village of Woodstock, described as “the prettiest small town in America.” Travel past Maine’s lakes to Portland on the rocky Atlantic coast. Visit Portland’s waterfront and continue for the night at Kennebunkport. From here you’ll be transferred to the airport in Boston.
The best departure dates for viewing fall colors are usually September 21 through mid-October. Peak fall colors vary each year and can be affected by wind, temperature, and moisture. Caravan’s broad circular tour route, covering all six New England states, maximizes your foliage viewing opportunities.
