This was hands-down one of the best day tours I’ve ever taken and I travel a lot. It felt personal, special, and completely unique.

Why Vermont trips disappoint

Trip planning gets messy fast. Too many “must-see” lists, routes that waste hours, and crowded stops that feel anything but special.

Vermont looks easy on a map. In real life: parking, crowds, and routes that waste hours and aren’t that fun to drive.

  • Routes that look fine on Google, but don’t work in real life

  • Timing that kills the mood

  • Popular spots that feel crowded, not charming

Explore our three most popular tours here!

We live on these roads. We plan around traffic, crowds, time of year and weather so you get quiet bridges, open views, and easy stops. You tell us what you love. We design the day and drive. You relax and enjoy Vermont.

Sure, you could plan your trip to Vermont using the same Top 10 lists everyone else does… but where’s the adventure in that? Vermont Wayfinders is for travelers who crave something more. The winding back roads, the tucked-away treasures, the stories you won’t find in a guidebook.

We take you beyond the usual stops, into Vermont’s quieter corners, where every turn reveals something unexpected. Our guided Vermont tours mix iconic sights with places that feel like your own little discovery, because that’s what makes a trip truly memorable!

The Vermont Wayfinders Experience

More Vermont, less time planning

Authentic stops without the crowds

Private and Personal

  • Just you and your crew. No crowds, no rush. A relaxed, private Vermont adventure at your own pace.

  • The scenic route, always. Winding Vermont back roads, hidden nooks, and the kind of places you’d never find on your own.

  • Local know-how. Your guide isn’t reading from a script, they live in and love Vermont and know the best tucked-away treasures.

  • Your trip, your way. Every Vermont tour is tailored to your interests, because the best adventures aren’t one-size-fits-all.
