Private Vermont Guided Tours
Vermont, one back road at a time.
Hi, I'm Aimee.
I'm the owner and guide behind Vermont Wayfinders. I take small private groups out to explore Vermont's scenic back roads, covered bridges, villages and mountain views. I handle the planning and driving so you can relax and enjoy the day.

A Different Way to See Vermont
The best Vermont days leave room for a detour.
The internet will give you plenty of lists of places to visit. What it won't tell you is which roads to take, when to go, or when it's worth skipping a crowded stop.
That's where I come in. I know the roads, the timing, and the places worth slowing down for. We'll make a plan around your interests, with plenty of room to change it along the way.

The Story Behind Vermont Wayfinders
It started with a Jeep and a few roads we'd never traveled.
During COVID, my dad and I spent a lot of time exploring Vermont's back roads in his Jeep. Top down, no particular destination, just seeing what we could find.
A few years later, some of Vermont's most popular photo spots had become so crowded that towns were restricting access. Meanwhile, I kept seeing people online asking where else they could find those classic Vermont views.
I knew plenty of places. But publishing a list of addresses would just move the crowds somewhere else.
So I had a different idea. They'd have to come with me.

Vermont's fall foliage on GMA
I recently had the chance to share a little of Vermont with Good Morning America. Watch the segment here.
Watch the GMA SegmentIn their own words (don't just take my word for it!)
"There is just no way we could have experienced such beautiful sites on our own."
"I was also glad to have one day where I was not in charge of the itinerary!"
"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."
"We had a particular type of tour in mind and Aimee delivered perfectly."
"Aimee took us on backroads, through covered bridges and allowed for multiple photo ops while providing expert knowledge of the area. This was a 5 star experience."
"We would highly recommend her tour to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, enlightening, and memory-making day in Vermont."
The Experience
So, what does a day with me look like?
No two tours are exactly alike. I'll plan the day around your interests, the season and what's happening in Vermont. Here's a little of what we might get up to.
Take the scenic route
Covered bridges, winding back roads, rolling farmland and mountain views. Sometimes the drive itself is the best part.
Get out and explore
Wander through a village, browse a local shop, visit a farm or stop for photos when something catches your eye.
Make time for the good stuff
There's room for lunch, a little exploring and spending more time somewhere you particularly enjoy.
Change plans when it makes sense
Weather changes. Places get busy. Sometimes we stumble across something better. We adjust and keep going.
The goal isn't to see everything. It's to have a genuinely good day seeing Vermont.
