Hannington was the most gracious partner in planning this special day (he picked us and all of my son's friends up at our home and took us to our favorite playground so we could get our ya-yas out for an hour and then we reboarded to come home).

Highly recommend considering this as a novel and fun way to celebrate any milestone! Thank you Hannington and team!

Unethical pricing and lack of transparency…read more I had contacted Neil's Wheels for a ride to the airport and was told he would connect me to a driver who would give me a private ride to the airport for $110. (I explicitly asked if there would be a discount if I shared with another person as I was riding solo.) Joy quoted me $110 for a 1 person ride. A few minutes before picking me up, she told me the ride would be shared. I asked if there would be a discount given that I was told by Neil who connected us that my ride would be private. Joy then attempted to gaslight me into saying she gave me a below market price by charging me $110 for one seat in a shared ride. That made zero sense bc my ride to Stowe was $120 for a private ride and other companies had quoted me $110 for a private ride. I then had to spend my remaining vacation time picking up other people and listening to Joy chitchat with the other riders for the entirety of what I thought would be a quiet private ride. The ethical price per person for a shared ride would be $60-70 as is done in cabs to EWR in NYC that are $125 for a private ride. Really disappointed that Stowe businesses would try to scam tourists like this. Furthermore, during the ride, a woman called asking if Joy had a car for her mom as the woman had confirmed via text. I saw on the screen that the woman actually had texted Joy back and Joy failed to follow up. Joy hung up on the woman.

We recently did the wine/cider/distillery tour, and unfortunately it was pretty underwhelming --…read moreespecially for the $200 per person price (plus gratuity). The tour felt rushed, unorganized, and unprepared. At each stop, the guides had to go in and order everything when we arrived, so we waited around, and by the time we finally got our cider, wine, or liquor, it was already time to leave. We were told there would be cheese boards, but our group of ten got a single small charcuterie plate to share and nothing else. At each stop we also heard the actual tasting prices -- $6 at the distillery and $10 at the cider place -- which made us question what we were really paying for. We could have done the same tour ourselves for about $30 per person. The guides were very friendly, but overall the experience didn't match the cost or expectations.

I actually drove an hour out of my way just to get this maple creemee -- I had visited a few years ago and had been dreaming about it ever since. Thankfully, it did not disappoint. The maple creemee was incredible -- unbelievably delicious, rich, and perfectly creamy with an authentic maple flavor that completely lives up to the hype. Easily one of the best maple treats you'll find anywhere. The maple syrup tasting was both informative and fun. The staff did a fantastic job explaining the different syrup grades and flavor profiles, and it was fascinating to taste how much they vary. Everything felt fresh, high-quality, and clearly made with care. The grounds themselves are beautiful, especially in winter. With a deep blanket of snow covering the landscape, the farm felt peaceful, scenic, and exactly what you hope for when visiting Vermont in February. If you're anywhere near Montpelier or Barre, Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks is absolutely worth the stop -- for the experience, the views, and one unforgettable maple creemee.

I was a little bummed that there was no farm tour but they provide you an informational video and plenty of maple syrup to sample. What blew me away was how nice and generous Tim was. He took time out of his day to show us around and even gave my husband & I some sugar maple candy to sample as well as answered any of the questions that we had. Their maple soft service ice cream (maple creemee) was also really really good! It tasted so light and fresh! I highly recommend Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks - very good ice cream, maple syrup and awesome staff! There is also parking and bathroom on site.

I have used Thomas Transportation for transportation between Logan and Bradley Airports and Keene,…read moreNH once or twice a year for about 15 years. I have never had a bad experience. They have always been waiting at the airport to pick me up, even if my flight arrived hours late. When picking me up to take me to the airport, they have always been on time or several minutes early. I have never missed a flight, even the one time when we ran into a very bad traffic jam. Thomas knows how much of a cushion to give you so you can be sure you'll get to the airport in time for your flight. Drivers have always been courteous and safe. My only complaint is that the cost has gone through the roof, costing nearly as much as my airfare from Denver to Boston.

The fact that the story was true and that this famous singing family settled in Stowe, VT because it reminded them of their homeland, well, it's been a long-time dream of mine to visit the Von Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe and feel the connection in person. And so I did... in July 2025, some SIXTY years after seeing the Sound of Music. We actually didn't stay here, which seems kind of odd considering what a fan I am. Now that I know how much there is to do in Stowe... and at the lodge itself, perhaps if we come back with plans to stay longer, I would stay here. The Von Trapp Family Lodge has so much to offer a person... whether one stays here or not. These are some of the activities: 1. Hiking 2. Mountain biking 3. Skiing / Cross-country skiing 4. Horse-drawn carriage rides 5. Sleigh Rides 6. Disc golf 7. Yoga / Massage 8. Bicycle rentals 9. Tennis 10. Swimming 11. Rock Climbing Wall 12. Indoor arts / crafts / culinary classes 13. Wine and/or beer tastings 14. Choice of 4 restaurants We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the lodge and grounds and learning more about the family and the history behind the lodge. Since this (ironically) my 1700th review, it's fitting that such a special place falls on a noteworthy review number.

[Shoutout to our server Michelle too!] BILL at Cows: Bill was a solid tour guide - kept the group engaged and safe, clearly knows the cows like the back of his hand. Ditto the history and lore of the grazing areas and the Highland program in general. You want a friendly, knowledgeable guy for this role and he fits the bill. (Hehe.)

City tours called us and warned us of the problem and delay which was fine, as we were being picked up at our hotel. They resolved the problem quickly and our guide was there and ready to go within 15 minutes of the originally scheduled time. Our guide Lauren was fantastic! She handled the mishap with grace and without skipping a beat. City tours had to have Ubers take us from brewery to brewery which worked out perfectly fine in the end. On to the tour itself, we were a smaller group, which I loved! We stopped at 4 locations and we sampled A LOT of beer. (I don't understand the reviews saying you barely get 3 drinks because by the end of it my husband and I could barely drink the last beers) We got behind the scenes tours at 2 of the breweries. Goodwater was my personal favorite. Lauren gave us a phenomenal history lesson along the way, which I fully nerded out to. All in all, it was a really fun experience that both, my husband and I, would recommend trying!

I found the whole…read moreexperience stressful from beginning to end and ultimately did all the travel planning myself at a huge financial loss. VBT booked us on incredibly long flights with awful departure times and seat assignments, across two separate airlines - an itinerary no reasonable person would book for themselves. The VBT team travel team was either completely inexperienced in international travel or, worse, just completely uncaring of their customers. With their reputation and the cost of the trip, I expected VBT to provide stress-free travel planning. Instead, I ended up having to redo our entire itinerary myself, made extra complicated by VBT's initial terrible bookings, and at an extra cost to what we already paid. Honestly, I couldn't believe the lack of concern for me as a customer throughout entire process. I will never use the travel service again and strongly recommend that no one use the air package/travel service as part of a VBT vacation.

This is a review of the guided quarry tour. I went here on a rainy Thursday morning in September…read more Bought tickets online for the guided quarry tour ahead of time. The meeting place was the visitor center. Got there early. We watched an 8-minute video at the visitor center. Though optional, the video would help you visualize and understand some things that would be discussed during the tour. We then had a quick orientation about the tour and house rules before driving to the observation site which was located at a different site. There were no shuttles that would take visitors to and from the observation site. You will have to use your own vehicle. We and other visitors on that tour followed the tour guide with the convoy of our cars to the observation site of the quarry. Rainfall was moderate at that time. Our tour guide lent us umbrellas. The tour went on but we did not stay there as long as we should have because of the weather. We learned interesting bits of information and saw a nice view from above; however, if you are expecting to go down the quarry near the turquiose water, you will be disappointed because that will not happen. The tour is just at the observation deck above the quarry. After this, one can go back to the visitor center area and do the self-guided tour at the building beside the it which houses workers who do different sculptures, etchings on the granite for tombstones, etc. The experience was alright overall.

It's…read morearound 600 feet deep and half filled with a beautiful turquoise pool of water that contrasts so perfectly against the varying shades of the cool, gray granite! You can only see the magnificence of the massive quarry on a guided tour but it's very reasonably priced at $6.50 per person. You pay and meet at the visitor center and then your guide will take you up. Their website mentions that they shuttle you - but actually you follow the guide up in your own car. You do have to drive up a gravel road but it is a slow drive uphill and is well maintained - we had zero issues. They run several tours a day but it's seasonal - looks like they start running tours around June. I visited in early October. I highly recommend the tour - our guide was engaging, fun, and soooo full of fascinating facts about the quarry! It was established in the Victorian Era (1885) and was mostly worked by the Scottish!! How random, right?? Apparently the Scots were expert granite harvesters! There's so much more fun info - no more spoilers from me! So the tour is fun but the star of the show is the view up at the top - I mean, the quarry itself is quite a sight - but you also have gorgeous views of the Vermont hills and it's even more striking in the autumn splendor!! The visitor center itself is like a museum! So much history and fun facts! They provide granite for so many headstones - and tons of famous ones. There's also a gift shop, clean bathrooms, and even an outdoor bowling alley! They also have a huge pile of "grout" which is just scrap pieces of granite (a Scottish word for it haha) - and you are free to take whatever you want from the pile at no charge!

We were treated like children, nothing like before. Definitely do not advise going unless you have Brian as a guide (who was on the other bus), make sure before you go.
