Why guests choose the Premium Tour
The extra hour isn’t about cramming in more. It’s about slowing down. We’ll linger a bit longer at the overlooks, explore a bit further at each stop, and maybe grab a to-go popover at the Jordan Pond House!

Premium Tour questions
The Premium is a longer, more in-depth tour with more time between stops. The 13+ minimum keeps the pacing comfortable for everyone aboard the smaller Berkshire minibus.
The Premium runs about 3.5 hours, about an hour longer than the Classic. That extra time adds a fourth stop at Jordan Pond and gives you more time at each stop.
A little more than the Classic, mainly the optional Jordan Pond shore path. Everything stays optional and at a relaxed pace.
We run mid-May through mid-October, with daily departures at 11:00 AM. Additional departure times may be available. Choose a date at booking to confirm your time.
A more leisurely paced experience.
