The Catskills Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

It was a cool overview of what and who were happening in Woodstock in the 60s. Great companion visit to The concert site in Bethel.

Very well organized Beautiful way to spend a couple of hours Very informative and magnificent sites along the river

Beautiful relaxing & amazing sceneries

I’ve done the walk about more than once; no two experiences are the same. Sometimes it’s up to the goats where they lead you! Judy is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable host, and the setting is beautiful.

Judy is the absolute best, and we had so much fun learning about permaculture from her! The goats were amazing too! This was an experience like no other. It hardly felt like we were in the mountains either given how rural the scenery was. We had so much fun walking with the goats (and the dogs too!) around the property. We learned so much about goats, farming, and life in general from Judy. We cannot recommend this experience enough! Be sure to dress appropriately though since there can be mud and bugs in some parts of the hike.

This was my fifth time visiting Clover Brooke Farm and it certainly won’t be my last! I wanted to share this experience again with my family and now with their significant others. We all had a blast, being in nature with the llamas, alpacas, donkeys, miniature horse, goats, and sheep. Kate was our tour guide and she was very welcoming and made sure we had a great experience. It is such a fun experience, walking the alpacas and llamas! You leave there with such fond memories and you fell in love with these amazing animals! They now have an Airbnb and a private area for bachelorette parties and other special occasions. I highly recommend this experience for ages 10+.

My wife and I booked the Donkey walk at Clover Brook Farms. The staff was great, and we sat in a rustic air conditioned room waiting for our start time. Our Donkey walkguide was Steven. I walked Joy, and my wife walked Lee. We walked or donkeys through the farm fields that had goats, sheep, Alpacas and llamas. Very nice and peaceful as we walked and talked for an hour or so. The tour ended at the farmhouse store, which had some nice items. We will be going back!

It was very informative and we learned a lot about the history of rock and roll in Woodstock!

Very good self guided tour app! It was very accurate and provided clear directions related to what was coming up and when to make turns. My family and I really enjoyed using this app from the comfort of our car.

Admission fee was reasonable, the tour was fantastic and my guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.

We enjoyed the audio tour. We only live 45 minutes from the Catskills, but other than passing through, had never gone to the Catskills. This was great to learn about the area! One suggestion which would be nice is if we were better directed on where exactly to turn. We missed on of the turns because it said you turn up ahead when you see signs for ...We did not see those signs - they may have been taken down? If we were given the directory of You'll make the next left or next right - then we may not have missed it. One or two of the turns did say to turn onto such and such a road, but that one turn there were multiple roads from when it said turn up ahead and before the next info clip started. We also thought when we were on our return trip it would mention it and we could hit it then - but that wasn't mentioned.

Had a lot of fun touring the farm, hanging with the animals and taking a walk with the goats. Simple but enjoyable experience. Staff was very friendly, animals were super friendly. Kids really enjoyed it, they wanted to stay longer!

Great walkway, even in the Rain

What a perfect way to see the Catskills! It was so fun listening to the information at each stop and also the stories in between. I would absolutely recommend this auto tour when driving the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway.

This was an amazingly informative tour. I never did a self-guided tour before but this was easy to follow and we found some awesome places we would've never went like this bakery, Bread Alone, and the worlds largest kaleidoscope! Highly reccomend in the summer but it's great in the winter too!

When my sister stated that she wanted to bring her son up north to spend the day my first thought was that they should experience a cruise on the Rip Van Winkle II. I get a rush when I cruise down this area of the Hudson River and, as we grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan close to the Hudson River, I thought she would enjoy the cruise. The weather was amazing, the crew members informative and accommodating, and the stories of the Hudson River, which were shared over the sound system, made the relaxing trip educational as well. I love light houses and so enjoyed hearing about the first female who operated the Rondout Lighthouse after her husband drowned. My sister savored a pretzel with mustard and a beer while listening to the history of the Hudson River. I enjoyed the popcorn. My husband and nephew were so busy catching up that I am unsure of what sights they took in. However, a wonderful time was had by all. I wish to express a heartfelt thank you to the captain and the crew! I hope to see you again soon!
