Space still available on remarkable autumn journeys to New England and the Mid-Atlantic
RYE, N.Y., August 2, 2018 – Traveling around the East Coast of the United States during the autumn months has its unique advantages: landscapes are ablaze with stunning fall foliage, the temperatures are milder and more comfortable, and the crowds have largely thinned out, which means visitors have more room to maneuver and more time to connect with locals.
Insight Vacations, the leader in premium escorted journeys, offers several remarkable small-group itineraries to the East Coast that immerse guests in the history, cuisine and natural wonders of New England and the mid-Atlantic.
Guests discover authentic regional flavors like local micro-brews and freshly caught seafood; explore iconic attractions and hidden gems with Local Experts, such as the battlefield of Gettysburg and the charming seaside town of Sandwich, Massachusetts; and meet fascinating locals who provide a deeper understanding of destinations like Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Each hand-crafted itinerary also includes accommodation at stylish hotels at the center of the action, business class transportation in luxury coaches, and the personal services of an expert Travel Director.
It’s not too late to book one of the following stylish East Coast itineraries that feature special last-minute pricing:
