Loved the tour. The apple...
Loved the tour. The apple orchard and brewery were great! We unfortunately did not see the shelbourne museum due to rainy, windy weather.

Not what I expected
The guide was a pleasant man, friendly, and funny. After our first stop at Yates Apple Orchard, which was very nice, we were told we wouldn’t be going to the Shelburne Museum because it was too late, we were behind on time. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to that, and part of the tour fee included entrance to the museum. The stop at the brewery wasn’t for a beer tasting as I thought it would be. I don’t drink beer, but I would have tried it out as a tasting. It was just a stop to get a drink, no tasting was included. I don’t think the $100 was worth the price.

Pleasant but not worth the money
First, the guide was great! He did a good job with information and was humorous. The group was a lot of fun too. The Apple orchard was fun. Donuts were delicious. We were informed after our first stop that we would not be going to the museum because it was closed. We went straight to the brewery. I feel that the cost of the museum admission was within the $100 per person we paid, therefore should have been refunded for that portion. I also feel the description of the brewery visit was misleading. It’s not a beer tasting. You get to order a beer at the bar, drink it quickly and get back on the trolley. No tour or information about the brewery itself. All in all a pleasant experience but not worth $100!!

You Can Do This On Your Own!
The guide was nice but we would have enjoyed having him tell us historical information along the way. We needed much more time at the Shelburne museum. We could have done this ride on our own. No real value in going on the trolley tour.

Amazing!
Thank you, Huntington for an amazing time. The foliage and ride was the highlight of course. The museum was quick but we were able to return for a few more hours on our own. The orchard was beautiful and the apple cider donuts hit the spot! We aren’t drinkers and appreciate the drop off and allow the others to enjoy their time was nice.

Shared Foliage Trolley Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Burlington.
How much does Shared Foliage Trolley Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Burlington usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shared Foliage Trolley Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Burlington is not rushed.
Is Shared Foliage Trolley Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Burlington, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shared Foliage Trolley Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Shared Foliage Trolley Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shared Foliage Trolley Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Burlington can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Burlington and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shared Foliage Trolley Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Burlington within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Burlington?
+
Burlington, VT packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Burlington by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Burlington experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Burlington Signature Guided Brewery Tour, Public Daytime Sailing Cruise, Public Sunset Sailing Cruise on Lake Champlain. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Burlington?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Burlington, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Burlington?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
