Central Vermont: The Heart of New England

Tour Summary

Great Bike Tours offers the best bike tours in Vermont. Our six-day cycling tour is designed to include everything that Vermont is famous for, including fantastic roads for cycling, gorgeous fall colors (in season), peaceful farm countryside, covered bridges, great hiking trails, small villages with their quintessential country stores, local artisans, micro-brew beers, cheese production, locally-sourced organic food, apple & berry picking, and of course maple syrup.

We run our bike tours in late September and early October because Vermont is known for its gorgeous fall colors, and there is no better way to take in the scenery than from the seat of your bike.
