Foliage that arrives on a schedule and leaves early.
Seven days timed to New England's short, spectacular autumn window — Boston's brick and history, inland to Vermont's countryside for the deepest reds of the season, then a slower coastal finish among lobster shacks and Gilded Age mansions. Farm stands, cider, scenic drives, and a countryside dinner or two that make the case for eating exactly where you are.
The essentials, unmoved.
This is an AskAnt set package — the hotels, routing and inclusions on this page are the ones we run. Ant can shape a fully custom trip around it (dates, add-ons, party size), but the bones of this journey stay as published.
