This was a fantastic experience ! We booked the 4 hour tour . Our guide Caleb picked us up at our hotel in a beautiful ,clean van and we began our adventure. We threw Caleb a curve ball by saying we did not want to go to Cadillac Mountain - without hesitation he said" no problem and devised a tour for us on the fly which was great! We have taken tours all over the US and Europe and this was one of the best!! Caleb was fantastic- knowledgeable ,funny, accommodating, and creative ! The 4 hours flew by and Caleb kept our undivided interest with facts and stories . This was the highlight of our trip!!!------Steve B.
