New England Fall Foliage

Boston and Portland fall foliage rail trip through New England

Railbookers runs New England Fall Foliage, a 6-day, 5-night independent rail package connecting Boston and Portland during the autumn leaf-viewing season. In Boston, a hop-on-hop-off sightseeing tour covers the city's landmarks, and a separate Fall Foliage Tour travels into New Hampshire and the White Mountains to see the fall colors. The trip continues to Portland, Maine, for a city and lighthouse expedition. The description does not specify that these sightseeing tours run by train, so the rail portion of the trip is likely the transfer between the two cities. As an independent rail package, this suits travelers who want trains and hotels arranged for them while setting their own pace for sightseeing. Prices start from 1,749 US dollars.
