We flew half way around the globe from Vietnam for the famous New England fall colors and we were not disappointed. The colors in the White Mountains are magical, with all shades of red, orange, yellow, green... I've seen fall colors in Europe but that was not much compared to this.
Matt, our tour guide and a mountain hiker himself, is very knowledgeable about the mountains, the trees, local history and traditions. He showed us the best view points, great restaurants for lunch, souvenirs shops... The day trip was a great success thanks to his expertise and spirit.
Also, we had 2 options for fall colors day trip from Boston and Matt's is way better: a small group tour in a new van that really went far into the mountains, where there's real forest. The other one is a big bus tour and only goes to some hilly areas not far from Boston. We were lucky to pick Matt's.
