Embrace the simple life on Vermont tours, which primarily show you the state’s quaint small towns and enviable natural scenery. Local guides can teach you the history of Montpelier, the least-populated US capital, then take you for a frolic in The Sound of Music-esque Green Mountains. After a scenic drive by the state’s old covered bridges and barn-dotted country roads, stop by Vermont’s signature general stores for freshly made cider and maple syrup.
