About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sawsan J0 contributionsFun day tripCute places and good food. Comfortable shoes are a must. The weather was nice. October is a good month to visit and will probably spend a night or 2 there is we visited again instead of a day trip.Written October 12, 2024
- G2487YUtiffanys0 contributionsSimply Amazing, a Dream Come True!Trip of a lifetime!! My sister and I came to Boston from Texas to celebrate her graduation and took this tour to Martha’s Vineyard. It was simply amazing!! Our bus driver Jonathan was perfection!! He was so nice and knowledgeable. You have to do this trip if your visiting Boston!Written October 12, 2024
- Tammy B0 contributionsMartha’s Vineyard a pleasant surprise.Our driver, tour guide was awesome. He and his wife are natives of Martha’s Vineyard and he really knew what he was talking about. The areas that we stopped to walk around were beautiful. History was interesting. I was really surprised to learn that there were no organized vineyards. Not what I had imagined, but I loved the history.Written October 11, 2024
- V127GUkarenb0 contributionsLovely day at Martha’s VineyardLovely day at Martha’s Vineyard picked up on time by Bart at our pick up point, smooth ferry ride to the island met by Tom who was our tour guide very knowledgable and passionate about the island, the weather was perfect took lots of photos! Definitely worth a visit!Written October 10, 2024
- wendymA2708EV0 contributionsDisappointed in the island portion of the bookingThe transportation to the ferry and over to the island was good and our driver Bart was great. The tour of the island booked through this company (New England tours) however I don’t recommend. The guide was nice and knew a lot but the bus is very very old and sooo loud that we couldn’t hear anything the guide was saying. I think finding a smaller group tour would be a better plan.Written October 8, 2024
- Voyage302562581420 contributionsDo not recommendBooked to see fall foliage but instead we spent half hour at McDonald’s, and too long at several other locations with very little to do. Do NOT recommend this tour. Bus is old, no storage, very very bumpy ride and while we passed a few changing leaves on the interstate, I would have rather had a full day in Boston than a crammed “non-luxury” bus with stops to places worth 15 minutes but we spent 45 there to pass the time. Find another tour!Written October 6, 2024
- susiem6570 contributionsGreat tour, inconsiderate guestWonderful trip. I did feel the driver drove a little too fast through the neighborhoods for us to see the sight he was talking about. Our experience was lessened by another guest who was consistently late returning to the vehicle. One time we waited for over 30 minutesWritten October 6, 2024
- 294mandyh0 contributionsExcellent tour. Planning on going it again next year with my sisters.This one of my most favorite trips. Our tour guide Tim was very knowledgeable and funny as well. The only bad thing to report was one of our fellow passengers was constantly late getting back on the bus. 15 minutes late. Which then made us later getting back to Boston at the end of the day. She had no regards for others time. Tim was very patient with that. Hats off to him.Written October 4, 2024
- lidiat8830 contributionsCaravan Tours Fall Foliage/New England 8 DaysThis tour was outstanding. The New England states are surrounded by nature and history. The bus was clean and comfortable. The tour director knew where to stop to get a better view of the foliage. We did not feel rushed. We had plenty of time at each location. The driver was outstanding, too! This tour is a great value!! We loved the Maine boat surprise, too. What a great way to see the lighthouses!!! We will recommend this tour to our family and friends!! And by the way, we did make new friends. That is the icing on the cake!! Thank you, Caravan, for making travel easy, affordable, and a Bucket List check-off!Written October 4, 2024
- cashelton0 contributionsGreat tour with a lot packed inGreat tour with Tim our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about Newport and Boston. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour at The Breakers and The Marble House. The only negative was we had one passenger who was 15 minutes late leaving The Breakers. She was also last to get on leaving the lunch stop in Newport. Very rude and annoying.Written October 4, 2024
- Allen R0 contributionsGreat people, poor experiences.Overall, the company delivered as promised. The bus was on time, she treated everyone well, she answered questions and gave us decent history while driving. But the stops were nothing to write home about. We drove by some old houses. Very interesting but just a drive by. We stopped at the oldest inn being operated in America, but it wasn’t a museum or anything. At the Sturbridge Village, there was practically no one around. It was just a bunch of old buildings with no people to explain anything. We stopped at an apple orchard but had no time to explore. I think much of this would have been great if I was driving myself. We could have explored some amazing woods areas, and really looked around. Overall I thought the company delivered as promised. No complaints there. But you would be better served to rent a car and go on your own.Written October 3, 2024
- Grace550 contributionsGreat Day Trip!Our tour guide, David was exceptional. He was very good driving our bus as well as providing commentary throughout our trip. We saw everything mentioned, even though we had a somewhat rainy and blustery day! Great Day trip. The only experience I wish that could have been added was actually going inside the John Adams Quincy Home and Library. We were an hour too early so just walked the grounds.Written October 3, 2024
- FarAway390486744220 contributionsA very enjoyable day!We relearned so much history of America on this tour! David was a knowledgeable tour guide who clearly loves our country. He had snacks and water for us and gave ample time to see our stops.Written October 1, 2024
- O5990ANjanetw0 contributionsWas not picked upWell I did not go , I was being picked up at a hotel which was not mine and was waiting at the wrong door of the hotel so they went without us . This was very stressful as we had got up at 4.40 to be there . I appreciate I was at wrong door although I obviously did not know that . I was chatting through my booking from time of pick up saying where are you . The guide said he rang me but I was holding my phone and he did not so I assume he did not know how to call a UK mobile which is quite basic . I did go yo Maine instead but not the pointWritten October 1, 2024
- DerekP10590 contributionsa great day out from BostonLoads if information with a good number of comfort breaks. Our guide took us to some great places. Plymouth is a fine place to eat (on the guide's recommendations)Written September 29, 2024

While visiting MA we thought to venture out while still remain somewhat close to the hotel we were staying at in Boston. So glad we decided to take the side trip. We took in beautiful sights while being able to explore and visit small shops. Our guide, Lucia, was as pleasant as she was knowledgeable, stopping and allowing us to take in the surroundings firsthand. Thankfully the weather cooperated lending to the overall experience. While in Kennebunkport we stopped for lunch, took in more scenery and shopped some more before getting on trolley for an hour long narrated tour of the area beaches and beautiful homes. We were back at our hotel at 6:30pm. Great experience from beginning to end. If you’re considering it, Go!
I forgot to mention the evening prior receiving a confirmation re meeting place and time. We were promptly picked up as Steve promised by 7:30am.
Thank you for allowing us to add lovely memories to our Holiday!

This was a great experience! We stopped at Stonewall Kitchen, the beach in York, the Nubble light house and Ogunquit on the way to Kennebunk Port. Each stop was about 10-30 mins and then 2.5 hours in KBP to walk around, eat and shop as you wish. This was followed by an hour trolley ride through KBP which included seeing the Bush family compound, a walk inside St Ann’s Church, a drive through the Franciscan Monk monastery and around town where “landmarks” are pointed out. The trolly tour was operated by Intown Trolley (Ed was a phenomenal guide and had lots of local insight to share).
Lucia was a great guide! She had small bottles of water available through the day as well as breakfast bars in the morning and little bags of chips or popcorn in the afternoon (all for free).
She was very personable and knowledgeable. The bus was temp controlled, clean and comfortable. For what you get on this tour, it is worth the price!

An amazing tour with Lucia! I had forgotten how pretty the coast of Maine really is! The trip included Cape Liddick lighthouse and Perkins Cove as well as Kennebunkport. Perkins Cove is a charming fishing village with a walking trail to the beach known as Marginal Trail, so you can get your exercise while enjoying the beautiful vistas!! In Kennebunkport we were escorted in a special trolley out to the Bush compound and the group before us actually saw Laura Bush out walking!! So it is possible to see celebrities!! Lastly, if you didn’t already know this, Maine is known for delicious blueberries and we had the opportunity to sample them in muffins, smoothies, etc. This trip should not be missed if you are in the Boston area!!

Lucia, our driver, picked us up right on time. The van was comfortable with good climate control. Lucia was an excellent host providing water and snacks on board. She was very knowledgeable of all the areas visited and provided recommendations on places to eat and shop. All of the locations we stopped in Maine are beautiful. There’s no way we could’ve planned to see so much in one day and I hate driving in and out of Boston. With this trip, all you have to do is show up. We also appreciated the smaller group as the vans only hold about twenty people. It made the service more personal. I enjoyed it so much, I have booked three more trips with this company.

Great tour guide! Lucia was very knowledgeable, funny, and personable! She made sure everyone was comfortable. She asked if it was too warm or too cold in the vehicle. She made sure to provide adequate bathroom breaks. The tour itself was great. I love looking for the beauty in the world and definitely found some!

It was a nice ride. Unable to hear what tour guide was saying since speakers did not work. Was hoping for many more places to see on this tour. Only thing worth seeing was the Bush compound. A little pricey

Great tour. Lucia our driver was fantastic. We did a few short photo opportunities and restroom breaks before the main attraction, Kennebunkport. We had a little time to have lunch and shop before our included Trolley tour. Such a great informational tour, that gives a brief sampling of the area.

Lucia was great, we had a bit of a slow start with pick ups but that wasn’t her fault. The towns were amazing and beautiful, wish we would’ve had more time at each spot but that’s just how it goes. Highly recommended tour!

What time does the tour arrive in Kennebunkport?
Written September 3, 2021
Approximately noon. It depends on traffic, and if others on the van adhere to instructions to be ready for pickup, and also not be late getting back to the van on earlier photo stops.
