PURPLE MOOSE TOUR of NEW HAMPSHIRE - June 2023
"We had a GREAT time in New Hampshire, our guide Doug was wonderful, full of wonderful information and he really made the tour enjoyable with his personal stories. We talked to people along the way about our itinerary and they expressed that we were seeing and doing a lot of awesome things in the area and couldn't believe all that we were doing in the short time we were there! (Cannon Mountain, The Cog RR, Squam Lake aka On Golden Pond, The Basin, to name a few). I would recommend staying at the Omni Mount Washington hotel. What an experience and totally worth it! Thank you to everyone involved in making this an AWESOME tour!"

This was a wonderful day
This was a wonderful day trip to Tanglewood. Everything went well -- bus trip, trip leader, seats in the shed, and suggestions for lunch and easiest departure gate for exit from concert. Appreciated having several stops for exiting bus on way home.
Excellent The whole trip was wonderful. We had excellent guide who was so informative and helpful and of course, a pleasant bus ride both ways, complementing a wonderful Tanglewood concert on a gorgeous summer day.
Nice Drive We loved this tour company. It was the perfect way to get from Boston to Tanglewood and back. We would highly recommend and will be using it again.
Wonderful Day! Wonderful day! Great to have a wonderful crew to ensure that everything went well and on schedule.
Great Service. Great Concert. We had a wonderful time at Tanglewood, and a very smooth ride there thanks to the efficient bus service from the Boston Common. Worth leaving the car at home for a more relaxing trip.
A BIG thank you!!!!!! We will definitely go again next year!!!!!
We very much enjoyed our trip to Tanglewood on July 21. Our guide was lovely. A wonderful day, and we will plan to going there with you again next season. Thanks very much.
The trips are well organized, the bus very comfortable and the Tanglewood experience always memorable. We definitely hope to be back next summer.
Great way to enjoy such a beautiful place. Definitely more relaxing than driving. Drove through Stockbridge to avoid the traffic on the way back and the escort was very informative.
Thanks for making very last weekend of month-long stay in Massachusetts with fantastic tour for Tanglewood. All staff and participants are classical music lovers and we will never forget every moment of trip, even on board of bus!!
Great trip to Tanglewood. I just wanted to say that my friend and I really enjoyed the trip to Tanglewood yesterday. The Tour Director was excellent...very organized and fun to be with, with lots of good commentary on the sights as we moved along. I hope she'll be directing next year.
That was the most enjoyable and relaxing trip to Tanglewood we have ever taken. We have always bought our own tickets and driven out there from the Boston area. I don't think we will be doing that again! The bus left at a very easy time, reasonable parking, clean and luxurious bus with wifi, wonderful and attentive Tour Director, Julie. The BSO was incredible as usual and we got home about 8:30 PM completely relaxed. It was like a great one day vacation. Thank you Berkshire Tour Company!
