Things to do in Vermont, United States: The Best Tours

November 29, 2021 Alida England

Whether you’re exploring Vermont’s covered bridges, visiting Quechee Gorge or skiing at Killington, you’ll find Vermont to be picture-perfect. If you’re the outdoorsy type, you’ll love Vermont. In winter, of course, there’s plenty of skiing and snowboarding. In the warmer months, however, Vermont offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and boating. If you enjoy boating, swimming and fishing, a vacation rental on Lake Champlain might be perfect for you.

Phil was awesome. He explained everything we needed to know and made sure we felt comfortable before we headed out on the VAST trail. He shared lots about the trail systems and kept us at a good pace. My husband and I had a blast. Thank you NEK Adventures! We look forward to go out with you again and bringing the kids.

Thank you for a fabulous personalized tour Natalia! We did the Woodstock/Quechee tour and had an absolutely amazing day. First, like other reviewers shared, Natalia quickly becomes more like a friend rather than tour guide. She learns about your interests as you drive and for us that led to some great recommendations for the remainder of our tour. Which leads us to recommend you take your tour with Natalia early on during your visit. It will set you up with some great ideas for the remainder of your visit – whether it be sights, spirits, wine, food, or tips on how to make the most of your stay Natalia is a great source of insightful information. Natalia shared the most interesting facts and stories. It really brought the area to life in ways we never would have imagined. She brought us to Sugarbush Farms – the friendliest of service, great cheeses, and maple syrup in a beautiful working farm. Our stop in Woodstock gave us a real feel for one of the prettiest towns in Vermont. Natalia gave us time to eat lunch and browse the shops. Don’t miss the general store there – one of the most interesting stores we browsed. Lunch at Mon Vert Café was delicious – fresh ingredients prepared to perfection. The latte was very good as well. Natalia was such good company we asked her to join us for lunch. Natalia took us to several interesting stops and along many scenic country roads. She always asked us for our preference – she had to make some adjustments for COVID limitations at attractions/points of interest – and never rushed us or made us feel we were on the clock. If you’re looking to see the area, learn about the history, hear interesting facts, and have an enjoyable day planned out for you then consider Vermontology and Natalie. The ride is comfortable, the conversation great, and the tour wonderful.
