Tauck World Discovery traces its origins to Arthur Tauck, Sr.,
and the New England tours that he began in the 1920s. Our New
England tours have been immensely popular ever since. Classic
New England is a cornucopia of all the very best that this
beautiful area of America can offer. From the rich colonial
history of Boston to the charming New England seacoast to the
splendors of the Green and White Mountains, this journey is a
joy in every season of the year. It is especially wonderful when
the leaves don their fall colors. Check out the ecology of the
North Woods during a RAVEN-series lecture, cruise aboard a real
Maine lobster boat, and see a definitive collection of the work
of renowned illustrator Norman Rockwell on this classic among
Tauck's New England tours.
