jthinchDay 11: Suitcase was packed and ready to go by 8 am. I left the hotel with a fellow traveller as there was enough time to walk the Freedom Trail which ended at the Bunker Hill Monument. Back to the hotel by 10:30 to check I hadn't missed anything important in the room and then back downstairs to reception to meet the rest of the group for the tour of Boston. First stop was Harvard, then onto Quincy Market for lunch, and then back on the Freedom Trail. Dropped at airport for overnight flight to the UK.
The tour manager, Linda, who only found out that she was doing this tour on the Thursday before departure, was good but sometimes I felt that she didn't make sure that everyone knew the time and place where we were meeting up.
The city tours were excellent the best being the tours of Toronto and Quebec. I felt that the tour of Boston would have been better on the first day in Boston rather than the last.
The best hotel was the Boston Plaza, although it was the most expensive, but the Commodore's Inn in Stowe was the most welcoming.
The thirty (?) fellow travellers were a great bunch and I would love to meet any one of them on a future tour.
This tour was my 12th with Just You and my first long haul holiday. For me, this is a hectic tour but the length of it was perfect. This tour was the best one that I have been on to date.
