Bill from Indiana
I have gone on many tours with Smuggler’s Notch Cycling over the years. Dean, the guide, is the consummate planner who always will maximize your experience. At the same time, perhaps his biggest strength is reading the mood and conditions to match the day’s variables with a plan that will please and satisfy. This combination of having a plan and being able to roll with the changes is Dean’s greatest strength. I strongly recommend you give Smuggler’s Notch Cycling a chance to let you experience some of what I did during my tours. You will not regret it.
Gary from Massachusetts
We had a wonderful time with Smugglers Notch Cycling! Dean took us out for some beautiful scenery on the Island Tour and sailing on the water. It didn’t stop there as we also had a great time with our guide at dinner. We will definitely come back again!
Heidi from Michigan
I had the pleasure of taking this tour and it was, in a word….Outstanding!! Dean is an excellent tour guide and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. The Notch is truly a sight to be seen!! My favorite spot of the entire tour for sure! If you have the chance to take a Smuggler’s Notch Cycling tour you should definitely do it, and I have no doubt you’ll do it again! I am looking forward to my next visit to VT, the islands, Stowe, and The Trapp Family Estate! I also look forward to meeting everyone during Heidi’s Tea Time! 5 stars! ️️️️️️️️

Your host, Dean Collins, has been my best friend since we were 5 years old. Take my word for it: There’s no better host, no one kinder, more compassionate and without question, so passionate about cycling. He and I have vacationed together, and he has always planned perfect itineraries for various getaways. I’m so pleased you will get to enjoy his hospitality, expertise and the charm and friendship I’ve cherished my whole life. I am sure your experience with Smugglers Notch Cycling will be something you’ll re-book immediately for next year, and the year after and year after. My personal suggestion: the Lake Champlain Islands Tour … but they’re all spectacular!
