We took the Vermont 2 days tour on 15th Oct and it was a decent experience. The hotel say was really above expectation so thanks to Taketour for that. The weather was nice so we managed to see the colors. Overall it was good experience however, I suggest the team to update the itinerary when Gondola ride is closed for the winters. Just so tourist are aware in advance of the latest information. It might be good to add another location as an alternate option to this ride as this gets cancelled often.
