Great excursion to the Maine coast with several (photo) stops and free time in the picturesque town of Kennebunkport (for which there was a discount card for some shops for shopping/eating and at the end a trolley tour with lots of gossip over the Bush -Family who always vacationed here). The driver Lucia was also great and had stand-up potential with her comments (especially in the rush hour traffic jam in Boston). An unforgettable day that was worth every penny!

Lucia was very funny, engaging and informative. Before any questions were asked she answered them! She was always smiling and courteous to a lady needing a Walker and to our two. 6 year old grandsons.
