Gold Leaf Service
What a gorgeous way to sightsee. Most trains feature picture windows, a non-smoking environment and air conditioning for your optimum comfort. So relax, breathe in the fresh air and bring your camera along to photograph some of the ever changing scenery. Please note that conditions on excursion trains vary.

Deluxe Motorcoaches
Our motorcoaches are luxurious with large non-glare windows, which brings the scenery up close to you. Air conditioning provides optimum comfort, and washrooms are convenient. To guarantee your safety, we choose only drivers with years of experience and excellent safety records.

Comfortable high quality Accommodations
Your comfort is our paramount concern, so we have selected the best hotels available. We are in constant search of first class service and reliability. Each accommodation has a special flavor; from a classic New England inn, to comfortable new high-rise hotels. The vast majority of hotels are able to provide twin bedded rooms. During the height of the season, occasionally twin bedded rooms are not available, in which case we would provide a Queen or King bedded accommodation. Roll away beds are available only upon request, but are not guaranteed.

Dining Experiences
Excellent dining throughout. We often feature elaborate buffets at both breakfast and dinner, a la carte dining with a selection of entrees and of course local favorites.

Airport Transfers
Since tour members frequently arrive at different times and sometimes on different days, we do not arrange for transfers from the airport. Please refer to the information regarding airport transfers from airport to your hotel in your final tour documents. Taxi, limo or motorcoach transfers to our hotel are available at a nominal cost.
