We were coming from the Caribbean Princess. There was fog and the captain couldn't decide whether or not to let us go ashore. After many delays we finally made it ashore. Our guide, Nathan, was great! He was knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the highlights. I would definitely use this company again.

Sometimes the fog can be a challenge for those coming by ship but we try and wait to accommodate you. I am glad you had a great time with Nathan.

Our group of 10 folks arrived in Bar Harbor, ME by Celebrity cruise ship, Summit, on Friday morning, September 22, 2023. After being tendered to shore that morning, the 14 passenger van and our driver, Pete, were waiting for us. Pete had texted a picture of the van to us so we located it easily. A wonderful 4+ hour tour began. My husband and I give high marks to Pete, our guide, because of his extensive knowledge of the area and his ability to answer our questions as we visited the various sites along his route. Amazing. educational and top-notched commentary by Pete. Pete's friendly demeanor and driving skills were appreciated as was the fact that his vehicle was immaculate and made easily boarded by our senior group with Pete's step-stool. Ample time was allotted at each stop allowing for taking in the views and taking photos...never feeling rushed. All in all, the value for this tour was certainly worth the fee charged. Our time with Pete was a "10" and he is a valuable asset to your company.
