    Enriching experience, museum visits would be better

    sudhanshu_s, Sep 2026
    Lots of history about the town. Could have been better with few museum exploration as a must with guide.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent tour. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the historical information about the town and found the commentary informative. We appreciate your suggestion that a museum visits, accompanied by the guide, should be included as a core part of the experience. This is valuable feedback. While our current itinerary is designed to provide an overview of the town’s history and key highlights, we understand that a more structured museum component would have added greater depth and enrichment to the tour. Your comments will be shared with our product and operations teams as we review the itinerary and consider ways to incorporate more guided museum time where feasible. Thank you again for your constructive feedback.

    Great van trip to Maine.

    Great ocean views. A lot of gift shops. Awesome places to eat, right next to the water. The lighthouse is really cool.

    Great lobster trip

    David_C, Jul 2026
    Sam was an excellent tour guide and driver. Easy to hear and good information. I only wish the vehicle would have been bigger or fewer people. It was a minivan designed for a family with children not 7 adults. My wife was cramped in the middle of the middle seat which is actually not a seat. There was a couple in the back seat and I don’t know how he managed to sit. The overall trip was good and the lobster meal was wonderful and very reasonable. The really sweet thing that Sam did was drop us off at our hotel so we didn’t have to get an uber.

    Great way to see highlights of ME coast if you only have one day. Well paced and comfortable trip. Paco was great!

    Tour leaves at 7:30, advertised as 8:00

    Sabrina_E, Jun 2026
    Tour and guide: 5 stars ... Communication: 3 stars --- Very good way to get out of the city and see some of the coast! --- Sam, our guide and driver was personable, knowledgeable, and a very good driver. Nice guy! And the small tour of 8 was great. --- Please correct your published information to indicate *7:30 AM* start. Every official communication advertises a 8:00 start, while the tour actually left around 7:30 AM. One couple was picked up first at the Omni Hotel, the rest of us received instructions to meet at Chinatown at 7:20 AM. --- Official info is confusing: "Pickup time may differ from voucher start time. Confirm with operator afterbooking. Check “Meeting & Pick-up” for details. Arrive 5–10 mins early. Departure from the hotel between 7:45am where can pick you up. Please contact tour operator to confirm the specific departure time." --- A text message the day before instructed us to meet at 7:20. I strongly recommend a change to the tour listing so people can plan.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you again for your thoughtful and constructive feedback. We’re glad to let you know that, based on comments like yours, we have already updated our published tour information. The earliest pickup time is now clearly stated as 7:30 AM on our listing. We have also kept the following important note to help manage expectations: *"Pickup time may differ from voucher start time. Confirm with operator after booking. Check 'Meeting & Pick-up' for details. Arrive 5–10 mins early."* We fully understand that the previous listing caused confusion, especially when the actual departure was earlier than the advertised 8:00 AM. Our pickup schedule is flexible and changes daily depending on the number of guests and pickup locations (we have over a dozen pickup points). The guide coordinates the best route and timing, then notifies each guest directly – usually by text message the day before. Thank you for strongly recommending that we make the information clearer so future guests can plan properly. Your feedback has directly contributed to this improvement, and we truly appreciate it. We’re glad you still enjoyed the tour and Sam’s service, and we hope to welcome you again with a smoother experience from start to finish.

    A wonderful trip

    Mark_P, May 2026
    Only had a day to get out of Boston and wanted some Maine coastline, this hit the spot. Marginal Way was gorgeous, that cliff walk has views the whole time. Kennebunkport's just a cute little harbor town, perfect for a stroll. The Old Port stop was actually the highlight for me, got fresh lobster right at the docks. Portland Head Light at the end was a great way to close out the day. Long drive each way but the stops made it worth it.

    enjoy the trip

    Jeffery_H, May 2026
    Solid day trip out of Boston. Marginal Way was way prettier than I expected, didn't think a coastal walk could be that scenic. Kennebunkport's that quaint Maine town you picture when someone says Maine. Old Port at lunch was the move, got a lobster roll right by the boats and it was easily the best thing I ate all trip. Portland Head Light at the end was gorgeous. Drive's a bit long but you're just sitting there taking in the scenery anyway.

    Portland lighthouse

    dean_b, Sep 2025
    The lighthouse was awesome. The lighthouse tour should have been included. We should have had more time.
