Lake Champlain

Our tour starts on the waterfront of beautiful Lake Champlain where we will look far back in time to this area before Europeans and the cultures and people that called this place home.

ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain

In part because of the incredible natural surroundings, Vermonters have always been deeply passionate about the environment. From the forests of old, to the forests of new, we’ll explore just how this place protects its land.

Urban renewal is a concept most urban dwellers engage with daily – Burlington pioneered it with their commons – a music-filled gathering point for residents and visitors alike. Learn how this city established a path others followed decades later to make the new American city.

Flynn Center for the Performing Arts

We love a good show – as the largest theater between Albany and Boston, the Flynn has it all – musicals, rock bands, comedy tours. Some of those visitors have been quite famous and gotten up to some crazy antics while here, we’ll tell you more when you get here..

Courthouse Plaza

Most people think its odd that we include a courthouse on a daytime tour – but we think a good ghost story can be scary during the day too – take a stop to learn about some secrets of old-time Burlington.
