- Vermont State House - Our tour begins with a drive to Montpelier, Vermont’s capital city. With a population of just under 8,000, it is the least populous state capital in the United States. There we will tour the Vermont State House* with a dedicated tour guide who will teach us some history and answer any questions that you might have. The Vermont State House is one of the oldest and best preserved of our nation’s state capitols. After 140 years, the State House still commands Montpelier, and the House and Senate chambers remain the oldest legislative chambers in their original condition in the United States.
- The Vermont State House is closed for visitors on Saturdays and Sundays. Our weekend tours will therefore admire the state house from outside, then explore downtown Montpelier by foot.

Beautiful Vermont - 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.

Montpelier and Mad River - a happy day in Vermont - 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.

I'd do it all over again - We enjoyed the day with Natalia on tour of a National Historic home, lunch and shopping in Woodstock, and waterfall. But my favorite was the glass blowing exhibit.
I would book again!

Charming and Informative Tour - This was a fabulous tour. Natalia was very friendly and informative. We experienced various things on the tour, from beautiful scenery to charming small towns, as well as the historic state house in Montpelier. It was fun to travel with a guide who is as passionate about her state as Natalia is. I recommend this tour highly.

Great way to experience the Mad River area - Natalia has such a great knowledge of Vermont. We so enjoyed our tour. We were her only couple that day, so she was flexible as to how much time to spend in the places we visited. She also gave some great recommendations and tips for things we were wanting to do the rest of the time. The waterfall we saw in Granville was beautiful and the lunch at Warren Store was beyond delicious.

Wonderful day in Vermont - We were lucky to have a private tour with Natalia. She is a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. She took us to all the best places to visit and gave us great recommendations for the other places we intended to visit on our own. Her love for Vermont and passion for her work made for a wonderful day.
Thank you Natalia!

First solo trip. - I just got home from taking Vermontology guided tour and couldn't wait to give my review. I spoke to Natalia several times prior to the trip and knew immediately that this was going to be wondferful experience.
It was my first solo trip and it was a sucess.
Natalia was so informative and knowledgeable.
Her personality was infectious and her love for Vermont shined through with every town and attraction we visited.
I even asked her does she do any other trips so, I could sign up.
My trip to Vermont was magical!
Thank you, Natalia.

Father and daughter Vermont day trip - This was the best tour we have been on!! We had a great time traveling through the Vermont countryside. Natalia was so informative about the area. She knew all about the nature and culture of each little town. She personalized our tour to include cheese tasting! We loved every minute. She provided many opportunities to stop for refreshments, snacks, shopping, etc. Lunch was fabulous! My dad and I had the best time.
