Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Travel to Woodstock where you’ll spend time at Billings Farm & Museum, an outdoor history museum and dairy farm. Continue on to Quechee Gorge State Park, Vermont’s ‘Little Grand Canyon’, to take in views of breathtaking Quechee Gorge. Then see historic Plymouth Rock where the pilgrims on the Mayflower landed in 1620. Spend two nights in Hyannis on Cape Cod including a day trip to the tip of the Cape to explore the picturesque coastal community of Provincetown with its rich maritime heritage, weathered cottages, and vibrant art scene. You’ll return to Boston for guided sightseeing that includes tracing the steps of Paul Revere near the Old North Church, seeing Boston Common, the old State House, and other locations that are significant to U.S. history along Boston’s Freedom Trail.
