Stowe Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Excellent tour of the sites and countryside in and around Stowe! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun, and she adapted the tour to our interests. We were able to sample wonderful food, travel the back roads with covered bridges and gorgeous scenery, and learn about Vermont. We have done small group tours in many places, but this was the most enjoyable. Highly recommend Vermontology!

Wonderful experience. We had a quick tour of Montpelier, including a self-tour of the State Capitol and shopping at some lovely craft and art markets; a very informative maple syrup farm (including a maple syrup tasting and a lovely farm market, and made a few interesting and picturesque stops along the Mad River Valley, and several covered bridges. Natalia is very knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly and kind. Her van is spacious, immaculate and comfortable. Leave the driving and directions to her and enjoy the sights!

A most enjoyable tour of Vermont. I highly recommend Vermontology for anyone wanting a good overview of this beautiful state!

Our trip to Vermont was very memorable! Our tour guide Natalia from Vermontology was absolutely fantastic. She ensured that we saw every major landmark plus more! Rain or shine, everything went smoothly. She was excellent at managing time that we had covered everything in 2 days without feeling rushed.Thank you so much Natalia for imparting us your knowledge about Vermont and showing us it’s beauty.Vermontology is highly recommended!Jick and Hope

It was cloudy and drizzling majority of the day when we visited Waterbury and Stowe. Nevertheless, we had so much fun and had an amazing time exploring Vermont with our Vermontology tour guide Natalia.Jick & Hope

Natalia was wonderful! Knowledgeable and engaging, she was a fantastic guide and the tour was a perfect blend of a genuine local experience with a professionally organized sequence, schedule, and script. Vermont is now a go-to travel destination for us, and that’s thanks to Natalia!

We're so happy and satisfied that we chose Vermontology and was so pleased with our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, Natalia. Our visits to Montpelier and at the Mad River Valley areas were beautiful and we were given information about so many extras like shopping and delicious things to eat, especially at the Warren Store. Stops at covered bridges, views of ski resorts were so exciting to see.

So glad my husband and I did this tour. Never having been to Vermont as adults, this tour brought us to places we would not have experienced. Natalia was an excellent tour guide because she knows Vermont extremely well. She was extremely professional and our day could not have been more pleasant. The tour van was immaculate, the tour was well timed, and Natalia knew what she was doing to make our day fun and learn about Vermont at the same time!! We will use Vermontology again when we go back next year.

We had a great time exploring the Stowe area with Natalia — she’s a fantastic host! Can’t wait to visit VT again and try more of her tours

It was so freeing and a comfort to be escorted to the beautiful sites like the Trapp Family Lodge and Smuggler's Notch State Park. Natalia is a wonderful tour guide and shares so much information about each area that we visited. We also loved going to the Cold Hollow Cider Mill and tasting the delicious fresh squeezed apple cider. We're so glad that Natalia told us about their melt-in-your-mouth cider donuts!! We also visited the famous Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory! The ice cream cemetery, where the retired flavors go, was fun to see.

You will get a nice quick overview of the main highlights in Stowe. Natalia is very knowledgeable..!

This tour will enhance your overall trip to Vermont. We saw and gad experiences that we would not have if we did not take this tour.

A really great day from start to end. Right from the start Natalia made us feel welcomed and that we were going to have a good experience. Natalia made us feel a part of the Vermont experience, providing us with a good picture of the places we were visiting, eg, Stowe, Cold Hollow Cider Mill, the Von Trapp Family Lodge, the 'covered bridge' etc, (too many places to list). She also provided good information about the areas we travelled through together with a few additional small detours to some interesting sights. She provided us with and good inside information on places we passed and visited without information overload. We had sufficient time in each location and never felt pressured to hurry up. A good, fun relaxing day with plenty to see and some great photo opportunities.

This was a great tour. Natalia picked us up in Woodstock and from there she showed us all Vermont had to offer! The highlights were the Cold Hollow Cider Mill and the drive through Notch State Park just before it closes for Winter. Natalia was very friendly and knowledgeable – it’s clear she loves her job! We would definitely recommend this tour.

We enjoyed this beautiful tour. Natalia picked us up at our hotel and her Enthusiastic greeting set the tone for the day. We were off on a seven hour tour with her seeing beautiful, colorful, landscapes, and the famous Vermont covered bridges. Through the quaint towns and villages, she described each point of interest. We were staying in Burlington and she had several restaurant recommendations for us. Visiting Simon Pierce Glass was a highlight. Highly recommend this tour.

Brilliant! We highly recommend Natalia's tour. When we booked, only the Montpelier and Mad River tour was still available. This was for the 2nd Saturday in October, in expectation of leaf colour. On the basis of previous reviews, we booked up. And it was worth every cent! Natalia is welcoming, friendly and a real enthusiast for her adopted homeland of Vermont. After an explanatory drive, we met another couple, from Texas, who were to share the day's experience with us. They were good company, throughout, ready to exchange travel plans. Montpelier, the smallest of State capitals, was a pleasant first stop. Its "gold leaf" State dome reminded the Eurovisitor of the Wawel, in Krakow. The real highlights, though, were of the Covered Bridges for which Vermont is justly famed ... but especially the river views out from within their shaded cover: foliage which was a photographer's delight. There were plenty of stops where we could enjoy a leisurely stroll at our own pace. The terrain for these was flat, and not at all challenging ... for which, we were grateful. One stop was for lunch, where we could sample local produce and a refreshing beer. Another was at the Appalachian Gap, a beauty spot which was good for capturing that memorable photo of the two of us :-) . Natalia, who was never short of information, returned us down Route 100 right to the door of our accommodation ("Route 100", previously just a name, is now full of meaning to us -) ): a full day, and a happy day, but still in good time for our evening meal in Woodstock. Thank you, Natalia! dziekujemy bardzo. We hope to see you again, one day. Alan & Sally.
