Husband and I just returned from the Nova Scotia tour with Kelly and Rockstar driver Dwight. Trip was spectacular in many ways: folks we met, sights we saw, delicious meals, and Kelly's seeming magic with the weather. Whoever said we can't control the weather hasn't met Kelly!! She brilliantly rearranged our agenda to accommodate a bit of rain, and on another day threw in a surprise backstage tour of the International Tattoo show. Kelly is super organized yet makes it all seem easy. She clearly enjoys her job and being with people. If you have a chance to hop on a Terrapin Tour, sign up now. It is so worth it. You will enjoy the ride.read more

We just came back from our first trip with Terrapin - 6 day trip to Nova Scotia, and had a wonderful time. Both my husband and myself were very impressed with Kelly's organization and attention to detail. She went out of her way to make sure we all had the best time possible and we did! I would highly recommend Terrapin to anyone looking for a high quality, well run bus tour. It is definitely worth the money and we look forward to more trips in the future.read more

Just got back from Ottawa - what a wonderful trip! Terrapin trips are fun, educational, and comfortable. We had Annie for the Ottawa 'tulip festival' trip and she was a great tour guide!! All you really have to do is to show up for the bus on time and Terrapin takes care of the rest. You are not herded into the bus like a bunch of cattle - the trip is very respectful and humorous! I guess I cannot say enough good about Terrapin.read more

All you have to do is get to the bus on time and enjoy yourself. Everything is taken care of by Kelly and Annie. Love it! My husband and I did the Nantucket Daffodil Festival last spring and the Southern Coastal Discovery (Savannah and Charleston) in March. Such good people on that 12 day tour. The entire tour is so well planned, the pace of the days is perfect, the hotels never disappoint. The ratio of planned activities and free time is just right. I would highly recommend Terrapin Tours.read more

Had a wonderful week traveling with Terrain tours to Philadelphia, Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Monticello and a visit to President Monroe's home. I have been on eight previous bus tours but this has become number one!!! The best one yet. I will travel with Terrapin again. Kelly is great! All my fellow travelers were friendly, becoming a "traveling" family. Come join us.read more

I just came back from a wonderful tour of historic sites in Virginia and Pennsylvania. Kelly, our Tour Director and Mark, our Driver were incredible. We got to see so many incredible places from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell (including a private evening tour of Independence Hall), to Williamsburg to Jamestown and Yorktown, Monticello, and Gettysburg. We had ample time to experience all of these wonderful places, and also some free time to explore on our own. The hotels were great and my fellow travelers were friendly and fun. Kelly planned a wonderful itinerary and was always there for questions, recommendations, and the like, and Mark got us there safe and sound. I would definitely travel again with Terrapin, and, if you haven't just yet, I'd recommend that you give them a try. You'll have a wonderful time!read more

Have just returned from Newfoundland and Labrador a 13 day tour. It was a fabulous experience. Yes we saw whales and ice bergs my favorite, met very special people and saw so many many sites. I can't praise Kelly enough for all she does on her tours. I have now been on five of her over night tours ranging from 4 to 13 days. We rode the bus to DC, the Smokies, Brandywine, and Ohio. Each one has been special. It is always fun to be together again with old friends that we have met on tours, many of us just keep returning. We also now love not just Kelly but Annie, her newest addition to travel as a tour guide, an excellent choice. You will be in good hands no matter which guide you are lucky enough to travel with. I encourage anyone to sign up and hop on the bus and realize how nice it is to sit back and look out the window seeing so many sites along the way waiting for the final destinations.read more

No matter where we have traveled with Terrapin Tours, we have had a wonderful experience meeting fellow travelers (who are now good friends) seen places we would not have seen on our own, and enjoyed stress free travels. Am so looking forward to this year and four more great trips learning about our wonderful country with Kelly, Annie, and Ron. Safe travels to all.read more

We have travelled with Kelly several times and she is the best! On our last trip we were introduced to Annie and she is terrific too👍🏼.

I have gone on many trips with Kelly and Annie. I love them because we go to places that are interesting,all the way from Quebec to washington,d.c. I laid a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier on one of our trips. We have gone to the 5 lakes and to the forests of Tennessee. They lay out the meals and attractions we go to see.read more

Betty was right. I was very skeptical about going off for 12 days with several people we didn't know. We met many friendly people and got along well with all. The accommodations were all first class as were the provided meals. I would recommend Terrapin Tours to anyone.read more

A friend and I took a Terrapin tour up into Canada a couple of years ago. It was superb! Kelly is extremely well organized, a total dear, and fun! She selects excellent places to visit--and stay. The folks on the bus with us were all very kind and lots of fun. My friend and I are taking another (too brief) tour with Kelly this June. We are SO looking forward to the trip, to seeing Kelly again, and to seeing some friends from our previous tour.read more

I never knew I wanted guided tours until I travelled with Terrapin. Kelly is delightful and the guides and driver professional, knowledgeable, and courteous.

A friend and I went on the Gaspe Peninsula tour with Kelly a couple years ago. We had a great time! This trip went to less populated, beautiful natural areas in northeast Canada. It was well organized and the accommodations were good. It was great to be able to see this distant region without doing long days of driving myself. I look forward to going on another Terrapin trip in the future and hope to run into some of the friends that we made on this trip.read more

My first trip with Kelly was last summer when my friends and I did the trip into Boston to see The Jersey Boys. It was a long day but so much fun. there was a good group of people on the bus, many of them were regulars, and were very friendly. Kelly took us to a very nice place to have Brunch, then we did a tour of Boston on the way to the show. My friends and I have reserved our space for this year to see Wicket in Boston, and we are so looking forward to it.read more

The May NYC tour was my 4th. with Terrapin Tours. My husband and I went to (1) Newport, RI, (2) the Daffodil Festival on Nantucket and (3) NYC in the holiday season. The May trip to NYC was great. Travel is comfortable and you feel like part of a family. Last weekend I took my 15 year old granddaughter and we really saw the city. Kelly gives us time to explore on our own which gives me free time to visit with our son who now lives in Manhattan. Thanks, Kellyread more

Such a fun trip to NYC - something I would never try on my own. Kelly was wonderful and very educated as our tour guide throughout the trip and made sure to make it a great, personal experience for all. Perfect mix of "tour time" vs. "your own time". was amazing!! Would book again in a heartbeat! Thank you Terrapin Tours! Kathryn Melanson & the Devine Galsread more

We have loved every trip we have been on with Terrapin Tours. Kelly makes everyone feel like a member of a wonderful family. Always plenty of things to do and see, and also just enough downtime if you just want to be on your own for a bit. So nice to never have to worry about parking, picking a restaurant, or getting the most out of a trip.read more

Just went on my second tour with Kelly of Terrapin Tours and had the best time. Her "fun facts" about the places we visit make learning history entertaining (wish my history teachers in school could have done that!) Lots of time to sightsee as well as enjoy the fabulous foods of the region. The pace is perfect and the nooks and crannies we visit are memorable. I highly recommend this tour for a fantastic time you won't soon forget!read more
