New England's Fall Foliage, a Women-Only Tour

With a tapestry of vibrantly coloured leaves at every turn, New England in the autumn is a sight to behold. On this eight-day guided women-only tour, explore Boston, one of the oldest cities in the U.S., walking part of the red-brick Freedom Trail and seeing the hall that housed the country’s first-ever town meeting. Marvel at the bronzing leaves of Vermont’s trees as you travel to Stowe and visit the women-owned and -managed Bread and Butter Farm. In Montpelier, delight in a visit to a maple syrup farm where you can taste the sweet golden liquid tapped straight from the trees. Ascend a gondola at Loon Mountain Resort into New Hampshire’s White Mountains and join a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience for an insightful talk by a woman who is an expert on the North Woods' wildlife and ecology. With your small group of like-minded travellers, celebrate your trip with a decadent lobster dinner.
