New England, Canada & New York in the Fall with New York Extenson

This escorted tour with Travelsphere starts in Boston, where the Freedom Trail introduces a step back into early American history before a visit to Plymouth’s Mayflower replica and the reportedly modest Plymouth Rock. The route then heads north through New England’s Lakes Region and the White Mountains, travelling along the Kancamagus Highway, a well-known stretch for the autumn leaves, and stopping in Vermont to see the state capital and sample maple syrup production.

Crossing into Canada, the tour spends time in Montreal with its Old Town and Notre-Dame Basilica, then Ottawa’s ByWard Market before settling in Toronto to admire its skyline from the CN Tower base and take in the Distillery District. A stop at Niagara Falls includes options ranging from dryland views at Table Rock to a boat ride in the spray, then the tour returns south to New York. Here, three days allow for visiting landmarks such as Times Square and Central Park, with leisure time to choose between museums, markets or a Broadway show.

The pace balances guided days with free time, offering an assortment of small cities and major urban hubs alongside memorable natural sights. It concludes with a morning still to spend in New York before flying home, steady but never rushed.
