My favorite day of the Vermont trip was spent on Natalia's tour. She has extensive knowledge of the area and shows you some gorgeous and enjoyable spots. If you want to experience the state beyond just one city, this tour is essential.
I had a fantastic experience with Natalia. She provided great insights into the history of the Stowe area, and we even discussed the differences compared to New Hampshire, where I was raised. It was a wonderful introduction to the region, and Natalia shared many interesting facts about Vermont. I highly recommend it.
The tour was ideal for my family. My wife and our 5-year-old son had a great time on their first visit to a western country. I spent two years in Vermont during high school and participated in many weekend trips organized by the school, but I discovered new attractions I hadn’t seen before. Our guide was both professional and friendly, sharing fascinating stories about each site in Stowe and showing a genuine commitment to ensuring that tourists were happy. Vermont is rich in history and natural beauty. We appreciate the unforgettable experience!
I traveled to Burlington solo, without a car, and opted for the Waterbury-Stowe day tour to delve deeper into Vermont. I coordinated with Natalia for a day she had a group scheduled, but when we met at my hotel, she informed me that the group had canceled. She explained she hadn't canceled with me, but despite my potential disappointment, we proceeded with just the two of us, which highlighted Natalia's commitment. The day turned out to be incredibly enjoyable, with Natalia as an excellent guide. We visited various locations, including Cold Hollow Cider Mill with its cider-making exhibit and free samples, the Trapp Family Lodge, Smugglers' Notch State Park, downtown Stowe (where I had time for lunch and to explore Main Street), and the Ben & Jerry’s factory. She provided insightful background information throughout, making the time fly. Although I could have rented a car to visit these spots independently, I wouldn't have gained the same depth of knowledge and history. I highly recommend this experience.
This tour was excellent. Natalia collected us in Woodstock and showcased the best of Vermont. Highlights included the Cold Hollow Cider Mill and a scenic drive through Notch State Park just before winter. Her friendliness and extensive knowledge reflected her passion for her work. We highly recommend this experience.
We had an excellent day from beginning to end. From the moment we met, Natalia made us feel welcome and assured us of a great experience. She immersed us in the Vermont ambiance, sharing insights about the various places we visited, including Stowe, Cold Hollow Cider Mill, the Von Trapp Family Lodge, and the covered bridge, among others. Natalia gave us valuable information about the areas we were exploring, while also taking some enjoyable detours to unique sights. She shared interesting details without overwhelming us and allowed ample time at each site, ensuring we never felt rushed. Overall, it was a fun and relaxing day filled with beautiful scenery and fantastic photo opportunities.
You'll receive a brief yet insightful overview of the key attractions in Stowe. Natalia is extremely knowledgeable.
Being guided to stunning locations such as the Trapp Family Lodge and Smuggler's Notch State Park was both liberating and comforting. Natalia was an excellent tour guide, providing us with plenty of fascinating insights about each place. We particularly enjoyed our stop at Cold Hollow Cider Mill, where we sampled the delightful fresh apple cider, and we're grateful to Natalia for introducing us to their amazing cider donuts. Additionally, our visit to the Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory was enjoyable, especially seeing the ice cream cemetery featuring retired flavors.
Exploring the Stowe area with Natalia was an exceptional experience. She's an incredible host, and I look forward to returning to Vermont to take part in more of her tours.
Natalia was excellent! She was both knowledgeable and engaging, making her an outstanding guide. The tour offered a perfect mix of authentic local experiences along with a well-structured sequence, schedule, and narration. Vermont has become a must-visit destination for us, and we owe that to Natalia.
