Top Boston Bus Tours

We had a great time 'leaf peeping'! Our guide, Rory, picked us up right on time and was friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining throughout the day. The van was completely full with 15 passengers, so it was a little cramped, but overall not an uncomfortable ride. It was also a bit difficult for some of the older participants to get in and out of, so that's something to keep in mind. This is a long day with quite a bit of time spent driving and frequent stops that require getting in and out of the van, but the scenery through the White Mountains is absolutely beautiful and makes it well worth it! Our first stop was at the Common Man Roadside Market & Deli in New Hampshire, which was a great opportunity to grab some coffee, snacks, or maple syrup before continuing on. We were also given a leaf-peeping guide to help identify the different trees along the way, which was a nice touch! Rory did a fantastic job of stopping at plenty of scenic spots and giving us just the right amount of time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the views without feeling rushed, but also kept things moving so we could fit everything into the day. We stopped in North Conway for lunch and had about 45 minutes to explore. There were several restaurants within walking distance and a few shops to grab souvenirs. We ate at Cheese Louise, which had a pretty good vegan grilled cheese option. I’d recommend looking into lunch options ahead of time, especially if you have dietary restrictions, since several nearby restaurants were closed during our visit on a Wednesday. I had actually researched a few places beforehand, but since I wasn’t sure exactly where we’d be stopping in North Conway, some of the options I found ended up being too far to walk to during our lunch break. (Cheese Louise on South Main Street in North Conway is a good reference point for where you will stop). One of the highlights was our stop at the Willey House Historic Site, where the scenery was absolutely stunning in early October. On our way back, we got a distant view of the Mount Washington Hotel before making one final stop at the roadside market and heading back to Boston. Overall, this was a wonderful way to experience New Hampshire's fall foliage without having to worry about driving or planning the route ourselves. We came home with some incredible photos and memories, and I would absolutely recommend this tour and happily do it again!
