5.00Excellent tour. Lucia was a good guide, giving lots of information on route. Good breakfast stop, though a little rushed. Two good stop offs, with a good amount of time. Ample time in Kennebunkport.

3.00There are serious raining in the morning. The cliff walk along the Altantiic Ocean is canelled. The weather in the afternoon gets a bit better. Shopping is the only thing you do there.

5.00Tim was our driver. He was fenominal! He gave us history as we drove along and was extremely friendly and personable. He was accommodating to all and never seemed frazzled even when 4 out of our group went to the wrong place to get picked up. I would highly recommend New England Tours and ask for your driver to be Tim. Wonderul experience!!!

5.00Had a great day on the tour, our driver Tim was knowledgeable and funny, you see some beautiful places. The highlight for me was the Cape Neddick Light that just looks likes a postcard. Kennebunkport was stunning, it has lots of shops and options for whatever you want to eat. Take the Trolley tour, it's worth it.
Kennebunkport Tour

3.00This was a long day trip from the Boston Back Bay being the first stop at 7:15 am. Four more hotel stops to pick up passengers, so we actually started 7:50 am. Forty five minutes later was a 20 minute rest stop at Stonewall Kitchen, which is a nice place to buy some food items. First stop was 30 minutes at the Nubble Lighthouse, in Maine, which was nice for photos and souvenirs. Next stop for 1-1/2 hours was Perkin Cove in Ogunquit to walk the Marginal Way path to see various parts of Maine’s rocky coast, photos and souvenirs. If you don’t do the hike, then it’s too much time spent here. We then drove through small towns with no stops until reaching Kennebunkport for almost a 3- hour stop. We had a nice lobster roll lunch at Alisson’s, a sit down restaurant, instead of the popular Clam Shack, a takeout place with outdoor seating nearby. The main tourist area is Kennebunkport on one end of a bridge and Kennebunk on the other end. This area is primarily food and souvenir places. We did not pay for the optional 1-hour trolley ride around the rest of Kennebunkport, so the stay here seemed longer. One 15-minute rest stop and it was back to the hotel drop-offs. All in all, the trip was fine since we had not seen the Kennebunkport area before and didn’t have access to a car. Nice tour to do once. Tim, our driver, did a good job of pointing out places of interest.
