Rakeel
I took to this tour mainly to visit Acadia National Park and fortunately it included few other places that were worth visiting. The lobster fishing to taking pictures and seafront views, everything was spectacular. It was a nice 3 days tour that was calm and pleasant. The places we visited also were calm and there were no big queues to wait at each place. This was the reason we reached all the places as desired and also came back on the said time. There was nothing to complain, be it the weather or the travel, everything was good and organized.
Rada
Nice tour package for 3 days. I was pleased to visit all these places as I have not been to any of these. I have been staying here for over 4 years and have never considered such significant tranquil places that are worth seeing. Lucky for me, this tour gave me an opportunity to see these places, enjoy lobster for the dinner and though I tried lobster fishing, I could not. I learned to take photographs and again a failure, I could not handle steadily. It was disappointing and others were laughing. Never mind, the tour was great and good.
