What people love about East Coast USA Tours for Seniors
- Fall Colours of New England
The tour experiences, excellent work by tour director Pam and most of the hotels were wonderful. Having grown up in the east, now living in the west, I loved seeing the autumn leaves and delightful small towns. Overall, this tour was a bit too strenuous for me at the age of 81 and with arthritic knees.
