Germany, Switzerland & Austria—Europe’s Best!
Country Travel Discoveries' Germany, Switzerland, Austria tour is a gem! Every day delivers remarkable sights, historic highlights and memorable experiences. I have taken this tour several times. But this time, it was the first time I have traveled Germany, Switzerland, Austria - and France - in Springtime.

Discovering Autumn in New England
Interview with DISCOVERIES Director Karen Sanner
Leaves, lobsters, lore, and locals are some of the most important parts of any visit to New England in the fall. On the Country Travel DISCOVERIES Autumn in New England tour, travelers experience these four L’s in spades.
Leaves of course are the reason for the season, and the fall foliage usually dazzles as the tour winds through Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. One of the most stunning spots for a glimpse of fall color is at the Mt. Washington Hotel (pictured below), a red-roofed, white-washed castle of a hotel set high in the New Hampshire mountains. On the Autumn in New England tour, travelers eat a wonderful lunch at the hotel as they enjoy breathtaking views of the splendor of fall in New England.
Riding Colorado’s Vintage Railways
Don Bruno on the Natural Beauty of the Colorado Rockies
As an old steam engine chugs along through the breathtaking passes of the Colorado Rockies, hauling coaches and travelers past evergreen-covered hills, around sheer rock faces, and over deep gorges, there are many fantastic photo opportunities.
“If you want a really great picture,” says seasoned DISCOVERIES Director Don Bruno, “you need to be sitting seven or eight cars back from the engine, in the coach that’s open to the air. We ride over a trestle bridge, where a river pounds through the gorge below. There’s a curve in the rail, and the engine is in view for a moment. Travelers love to capture that on film: the steam engine in the foreground, its smoke making a billowing cloud against the backdrop of the green and grey of the Rockies, with the big Western sky in view. It’s simply beautiful.”
The Canadian Rockies & Glacier Nat'l Park
"My Discoveries" Guest Post by Anita Hafner
As a Discoveries Director with Country Travel DISCOVERIES, I love the excitement of being part of a tour group visiting a destination for the first time. As we set off on a journey of discovery with travel experiences that are personalized, different and real, some of my favorite destinations on the whole planet are right here in my own backyard.
I love the Canadian Rocky Mountains –- and I have a big backyard!
