Julia was phenomenal!! She was so interesting to listen to, and was able to answer the many questions about the area. We had a great time, enjoyed every minute- and the lobster rolls were delicious.

Car was crowded and not conducive re a typical tour with a car microphone or headsets. Was expecting a more historical, interesting tour. While the tour guide was very friendly, she was tired (admitted by her) and frazzled and shared personal stories with some awkward comments to guests in car. We were all very respectful but very disappointed. In addition to providing very little factual insight on the trip, we opted to not have a lobster roll as part of the trip and she still had us pay for our two seltzer waters!Joe_R
