Welcome to New England Sights

Since 1980, New England Sights has worked with clients to produce and organize custom-designed events, tours, attractions, activities, hotels, food-tastings and personal sight-seeing expeditions in exciting venues throughout New England. We provide three types of services, tailored to your specific interests, time and budget:
 

  • Fully Planned and Staffed Half-Day, Full-Day, or Multi-Day Tours
  • Event Planning for Corporations and Museum or Academic Groups
  • Itineraries and Reservations for Self-Guided Tours of New England

 
Group sizes have ranged from 2 to 200 persons. We can arrange a tour or a special event for your group in locations which specially evoke the sights, sounds, history and culture of New England. We can provide you with guides who can share their special knowledge of New England with you in your own language.
 
We prefer six to nine months' advance notice to make arrangements for large tours and events. Please let us be your partners in designing a tour or a function which reflects your interests and needs.
