Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
La nostra prima tappa sarà alla fabbrica di Ben & Jerry a Waterbury. Lì, farai un tour di 30 minuti che include un cortometraggio sulla loro storia, seguito da una visita guidata degli impianti di produzione, che termina con campioni gratuiti del loro ultimo sapore! Dopo il tour della fabbrica, ci sarà tempo per esplorare il negozio di articoli da regalo.
La nostra prossima tappa della giornata sarà il Cold Hollow Cider Mill, sempre nel Waterbury Center. Cold Hollow è uno dei principali produttori di sidro di mele del Vermont, ma trasporta anche una serie di altri prodotti del Vermont, come lo sciroppo d'acero e altri articoli speciali. La prima cosa che noterete entrando nel Cold Hollow Cider Mill è l'incredibile odore delle mele fresche trasformate in sidro. L’aroma ci ricorda sempre l’autunno, ma fortunatamente per noi, Cold Hollow Cider Mill è aperto tutto l’anno! Una volta dentro, puoi aiutarti a liberare campioni del loro sidro appena fatto. E, naturalmente, c'è anche un sacco di cibo in vendita. (Non vorrai andartene senza aver provato una ciambella calda al sidro!)
Dopo Cold Hollow Cider Mill, andremo a Stowe per visitare il Trapp Family Lodge. Il Trapp Family Lodge si trova su 2.500 acri di terra, con viste panoramiche mozzafiato sulle Green Mountains del Vermont. La famiglia Von Trapp (dalla fama di "The Sound of Music") ha scelto questo luogo come casa perché il suo scenario ricorda la loro nativa Austria. All'arrivo, verrai accolto da un cartello di benvenuto con la scritta "La famiglia Trapp ti invita a condividere un po' di Austria, molto Vermont".
Dopo aver lasciato il Trapp Family Lodge, faremo un giro panoramico attraverso il *Smugglers' Notch State Park. Questo stretto passaggio attraverso le Green Mountains del Vermont presenta una strada ripida e tortuosa, con viste impressionanti di scogliere alte 1.000 piedi sopra. Come suggerisce il nome, Smugglers' Notch era originariamente utilizzato per contrabbandare vari beni dentro e fuori il paese. Al giorno d'oggi questa zona attira visitatori solo per la sua bellezza paesaggistica. * La Tacca dei Contrabbandieri è chiusa in inverno. Al suo posto visiteremo: il ponte coperto di Emily e un giro panoramico attraverso Stowe Hollow.
Infine, la nostra ultima visita della giornata sarà nel centro di Stowe. Con una popolazione di poco più di 4.300 persone, questo villaggio è sede di numerosi eventi durante l'estate, tra cui un festival in mongolfiera e molti spettacoli di arti e mestieri. Qui troverai molte botteghe artigiane locali con arte, gioielli, abbigliamento, regali e un numero di premiati cibi speciali. C'è anche un museo di sci e snowboard, di interesse per chi ama gli sport invernali in discesa.

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
Thank you so much, Jick & Hope! Even with the cloudy skies and drizzle, I’m so happy to hear you still had such a fun and memorable day exploring Waterbury and Stowe with Vermontology Guided Tours. Vermont has a special kind of beauty in every weather, and it was a pleasure sharing it with both of you. Thank you again for spending the day with me, and I hope to welcome you back to Vermont someday! 💚
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!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Sharing the beauty, flavors, and stories of VT with my guests is exactly what I love to do, and it means a lot to hear that it resonated with you. I hope to welcome you back for another Vermont adventure in the future!
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
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I can’t wait to host you again — please come back anytime for another tour!
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.
It was such a pleasure to have you on my tour! Thank you for your wonderful review! I am so glad you enjoyed every minute of your time in Vermont. Stowe is definitely one of our best-selling tours – between the delicious food tastings, the fascinating history of the von Trapp family, the stunning Smugglers’ Notch State Park, and the charm of beautiful Stowe, it’s truly a gem not to be missed.
You will get a nice quick overview of the main highlights in Stowe. Natalia is very knowledgeable..!
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed Stowe. It’s such a special place with beautiful scenery and charming spots to explore.
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.
Thank you for your great review! You traveled from so far away, and I’m glad I had the chance to show you the best of Vermont. Maybe I’ll see you again during the fall foliage season. Have an amazing time in Boston and safe travels back to Australia!
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.
It was such a pleasure meeting you both! Traveling all the way from Ireland to explore New England makes your visit extra special, and I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tour. Thank you so much for your kind review!
I visited Burlington on my own, without a car, and booked the Waterbury-Stowe day tour so that I could explore Vermont beyond Burlington. I coordinated with Natalia to take the tour on a day when she had a four-person group already booked. However, when I met her at my hotel, she told me that the group had cancelled the night before. When I asked her why she hadn't cancelled with me, she said that she didn't cancel. While I certainly would have been disappointed had our tour not gone ahead, I surely would have understood, given that it was now just the two of us. But off we went, and the fact that the tour did go ahead speaks volumes about Natalia. It was a super fun day, and Natalia was a wonderful guide to the area. We covered a lot of territory - Cold Hollow Cider Mill (featuring a wide variety of gifts, an exhibit showing how apple cider is made, and free samples of the cider), Trapp Family Lodge, Smugglers' Notch State Park, downtown Stowe (with time for me to have lunch and explore Main Street), and a tour of the Ben & Jerry’s factory. Throughout the day, she gave me background info on what I was seeing, and the time just flew by. Yes, I could have rented a car and driven to the same places on my own, but I wouldn't have had the additional knowledge and history. Highly recommended!
I am thrilled that your experience was great! I never cancel any of my tours, so I’m glad I could deliver the best experience for you! Come back for a different tour!
The tour was perfect for my family. My wife and my 5-year old boy enjoyed their first western country visit. I had lived in Vermont for 2 years in high school as a dorm student. I have joined many weekend trips organised by the school but did not realise there are more attractions I haven't been to. Our tour guide was professional and warm, including knowing the interesting stories behind each attraction around Stowe and her passion of making tourists satisfied. Vermont is full of historical and natural scenic sites. Thanks for the memorable experience!
Thank you for your great review! It was a pleasure to show you Vermont's old and new attractions. You guys are such a sweet and wonderful family! Come back and visit us again, perhaps for a different tour or even a 5-day tour.
