Privately guided 3-4 hour tours give you a bite-sized taste of Vermont’s scenic backroads, charming villages, and local favorites, all in a compact, easygoing experience. Guided by a local, gain insider knowledge of some of the best spots to visit and find even more beautiful routes to explore as you find your way to favorite spots in and around the Connecticut River Valley of Vermont. Various themes for the tour are offered, including 'Bridges and Brews', 'Antiques and Artisans', and 'Ridges and Rivers' and we get started from Woodstock, Ludlow or Springfield Vermont.
Be sure to check out the Vermont Wayfinders website for more information on tours and availability!
It’s the perfect way to explore if you’re short on time, love a good scenic detour, or just want a more budget-friendly private tour. You’ll still get a local expert as your guide, a perfectly planned route, and plenty of time to soak in the sights—just in a smaller, snackable package.
1292 Rockingham Rd, Bellows Falls, United States
Visit, browse and marvel at what's in store at the Vermont Country Store! A must-do if you've never been before... and always fun, no matter how many times you've been!
109 Park Rd, Windsor, United States
Gorgeous glass and pottery and a peek into how it's all made! We often visit the Windsor location, which is a bit quieter than the Quechee location, but either can work depending on the rest of your tour's itinerary.
336 Ruth Carney Dr, Windsor, United States
Craft beer, pub food, and a fun location to hang out and relax for a bit! Close to the Simon Pearce location in Windsor and a short drive to some beautiful countryside to explore!
U.S. Highway 5, Ascutney, United States
If exploring the top of an inactive volcano sounds like fun to you, we can work this stop into your tour. A short drive up the mountain road leads to easy hiking trails and amazing views!
Please provide exact pickup location before the day of your tour with tour provider and look for confirmation email of time and place.
How many people can join a tour?
Our tours are designed for small, private groups—up to 4 guests can ride comfortably in the Bronco, plus your guide as the driver. Just a heads-up: the back seat can feel a bit snug if all four guests are larger adults, so if comfort is a top priority, you may want to consider a group of 2 or 3 instead. Either way, you’ll have a great time exploring Vermont’s scenic backroads together!
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
