New York to Boston, small group tour

Planet

We are following the guidance of the National Parks Conservation Association in America and are ensuring that our tours adhere to their guidelines. For example, before entering the park- we show our travelers the information about where to place their trash. On each of our trips, we emphasise the need to dispose of waste responsibly and encourage our travelers to take advantage of the new and, now numerous, water refill stations which helps to eliminate plastic waste. There are now hundreds of places where trash can be recycled and by indicating clearly where these are and having our guides explain the importance (and success thus far) we can play our part in ensuring our groups are responsible travelers within the parks.

We encourage all of our travelers to say no to single use plastics and to bring their own water bottles. A lot of our tours are connected via public transport. Within cities- we encourage walking and cycling and use the metro services and only use minibuses where necessary.

When we spend time on the beach- our adventure leaders stress the need to be responsible and not leave trash on the beach.

People

Our trips are packed with experiences that are designed to bring an understanding of America’s history and culture. Whether that’s walking Boston’s Freedom Trail, seeing the Liberty Bell or witnessing the grandeur of Washington’s monuments. We also visit the 9/11 Memorial and Freedom Tower and aim to educate our travelers on the recovery efforts made by New Yorkers following the attacks. Enjoy unique optional activities, such as Yoga at the Central Park or watch a baseball game at Fenway Park, to see the community from a different perspective.

We include various opportunities to sample the local cuisine and have a clam chowder making class. We also encourage our travelers to read up on some of the great American literature to be better acquainted with the story of America. We also encourage our travelers walking or cycling when possible so that they can experience the community better and explore the community based on their own paces or interests.
