    Lovely small town adventure

    oreosmom7351, Oct 2024
    AJ was our driver and tour director for the day. He is very knowledgeable of the area north of Portland to Boothbay Harbor. One pleasant surprise was Maine Botanical Garden. Not only is it landscaped with a large variety of trees and plants but it also has a unique set of eco-friendly sculptures. Our favorite stop was the sea-side town of Boothbay Harbor. Picturesque and historic, all that reminds you of Maine.

    Aj was a great tour guide! Punctual and reliable! He was able to customize the tour to our interests at any time during the tour. Helped us to make the best use of our short time in Maine. Knowledgeable and engaging, he made for an enjoyable and interesting day! We were able to cover so much in such a short time! Highly recommend!

    After speaking with the owner AJ he offered to refund the cost of the gardens we were not able to visit. Customer service was good.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    “Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad we could address the situation and provide good customer service. As mentioned, we aim to ensure every guest has a great experience and visit the sites they want to explore. In this case, it was my understanding that there was a decision made not to visit certain locations during the tour. However, I offered to refund the cost of the gardens as a gesture to make up for any disappointment. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more fulfilling experience in the future.”

    Stephanie was amazing!

    Stephanie was amazing! She picked us up from the hotel, had snacks available (which she made sure were within dietary restrictions), drove us to a lot of really cool places and made sure to take pictures for us and tell the significance of each location, let us pick the restaurant to accommodate my dietary restriction, and dropped us back off at the hotel.

    Interesting and fun

    This tour was one of the best I have ever been on. Our guide was very informative and took us to places that weren’t even on our tour. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best tour. He took pictures of us and things he thought we find interesting and sent them to us. Besides providing drinks and snacks, he knew we didn’t have time for lunch so when we got back to the van, he bought lunch for us and had it waiting for us. I recommend them highly if you want an interesting and a fun tour. AJ was the best tour guide who made it a tour we will never forget

    Great way to see the Coast of Maine

    The lighthouses were are real treat. Arnie our tour guide was very accommodating and informative. A little more car time than we would have liked, but enjoyed, nonetheless.

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    We apologize for the longer than normal car time. I know there was inclement weather and Arnie was trying to keep you dry. We apologize for the longer than average auto times. In the future we will adjust tours to inclement weather.
