IMPORTANT DEPARTURE POINT CHANGE: The West Hartford / New Britain lot has been replaced with a Park & Ride Lot in Farmington, CT

Our tours no longer depart from the Park & Ride Lot across from Target in West Hartford /New Britain. This change is due to ongoing long-term construction at the West Hartford Lot.

The NEW departure location is:

FARMINGTON - Park & Ride Lot, 575 Colt Highway (Rte 6) & South Road.

The departure time for our tours are unchanged. If you were confirmed for a trip with the West Hartford/New Britain departure, please make note that you will now depart from the Farmington lot at the same time as noted on your confirmation.
