Unfortunately there wasn’t any fall foliage to be found. We didn’t even really go by places that had lots of trees. They should give this tour a different name.

4.00The food was surprisingly good. The turkey and pork were very flavorful and tender. Good rice pilaf. Breads were a little hard but desserts quite good. Tour was good but not much foliage to see.
