I love the thrill of adventure. I went with a group of 4 (including myself). The tour guides were great, engaged all the way. They made everyone feel comfortable and safe. The staff was helpful and friendly from my two phone calls, booking, arrival, the actual tour and even afterward when you're recovering and hanging out. They even have libations... More

I am not fond of heights so it was with a little trepidation that I took my family for a zip lining excursion in the fall. I was rewarded, however, with a fantastic time and a spectacular view of the Berkshire foliage. The guides we had were wonderful. I like how they help you slow down, unlike other zip lining... More

My wife and I went out to try this about a year ago. They had some incredibly impressive runs over a mountain valley. We will definitely try it again. I can only imagine that it has improved.

Loved this! We did the 3 hr extreme course and had a blast. Our guides, Robin and Tony were great and very helpful. Robin lent his mittens to one of the girls that was with us. It was rainy and cold, so we will do this again, hopefully in June. The views were starting to clear up as we got... More

My boyfriend proposed to me last week at the Berkshire East Canopy Tours. The proposal was a complete and utter surprise. Thank you to everyone there who was involved, as I know that it took a lot of work and collaboration with the staff at Berkshire to help pull this off. The zip lining itself was amazing - our guides... More

My first time zipping. I love roller coasters and that's what I was expecting. I wasn't disappointed but the experience is nothing like that. No death defying drops, upside down thrills or or stomach upsetting twists. You are almost sitting in a comfortable chair flying through the woods. Well a couple of times way above the woods but I didn't... More

Do the high end tour. I forget what it's called. The last two zips are amazing. Both are done side-by-side with your friend and go half a mile over a beautiful valley at 55mph. Exhilarating and gorgeous!

Thanks to our guides Robin and Drew, we had an excellent 3rd trip on the Berkshire East Canopy Tours zip line this week. The guides were funny and experienced, and made our group feel comfortable and relaxed. We enjoyed meeting others in the group while pausing between lines. The Valley Jumping tour is an experience of a lifetime. The views... More
