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

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 guide

Our guide and driver was superb. I only wish the van would have been bigger or less people. My wife was stuck in the middle of the mini van and it is designed for children not 7 adults. Sam was easy to hear and actually dropped us off at our hotel on the return.

Would do it again in a heartbeat!

The trip was absolutely lovely! The amount of time at each stop was perfect and Willy gave us good suggestions for things to do and places to go. There were chargers located in the van, but I highly suggest bringing portable chargers-you will taking a lot of pics of the beautiful scenery! My only complaint (and this is teeny-tiny) is that it would have been helpful to know not only the address to the meet up spot, but also the name of The Corner Pub. The way the instructions were written, I was a bit confused. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, I appreciated the time at each stop, and I felt that it was well worth the money spent!
