What people love about touring New England solo
- Cape Cod & the Islands
Excellent tour Fabulous tour guide who ensured we had the most interesting tour
- Fall Colours of New England
It was a great tour with a pretty good guide. The Holiday Inn Express in Pittsfield was definitely one I would never go back to. When we arrived, the hallways smelled like a sewer, and evidently they were having issues on the second floor. There was a long brown hair (I have short blonde and what my husband does have is gray) on the corner rim of our tub when we got there and it was still there when we left. Anthony, our bus driver, was excellent--courteous, kind, and helpful. Scott was good, but he kept looking things up on Google and relaying the information to us. To me, he should have been a little more prepared if he is going to be a guide. But, he kept everything going on time, and spent hours looking for our luggage which had been put in an empty room (again at the Pittsfield Holiday Inn Express).
