Everything was wonderful!! Really enjoyed the tour and Joani was so delightful! She made it fun and enjoyable, while telling us all about the areas we visited in Maine. My favorite was the lobster roll and botanical gardens!Hollie Young

This was my first tour experience and it did not disappoint. The pace was comfortable, the tour leader was accommodating, knowledgeable and pleasant. One of the reasons I participated was to experience fall foliage and the Maine landscape was breathtaking.Frances Kyle

The tours we were given by locals were wonderful, the people guided with knowledge and passion. The people of coastal Maine were friendly and excited to tell their story. The area was beautiful!!! I was expecting more meals provided, we had 2 dinners and one lunch; was expensive to eat out. And we had more free time than was needed. Our tour guide had only been to the area once (just prior to our tour) so wasn't much help. Wasn't very friendly at first but warmed up toward the end of the trip. He did handle any issues along the way very effectively. The bus was the most unprofessional person, in his attire, demeanor and helpfulness.....wouldn't even offer help to the older people (this was a senior trip) while getting on and off the bus. Would maybe travel with Collette one more time to give a fair evaluation.

Enjoyed Bar Harbor and the accommodations. Good bus driver. Conscientious tour guide. Would not recommend Portland walking tour. Not very interesting. Nice lady picked us up promptly at airport. Good shuttle driver got us to the airport.Charlene Gabrielson

The oyster farm and the botanical garden were the outstanding events of the tour. The small size of the tour group, the excellent bus, and the good accommodations made the tour very comfortable. The amiability of the tour manager and bus driver added much to make it pleasurable. As an 88 year old retired surgeon I was able to keep up with the pace.Duane Freier

I have always wanted to visit Maine, and this tour was a great introduction! I’m hard pressed to pick just one experience as better than another, but Bar Harbor was my favorite location to visit. I loved how walkable the town is, the shopping, the restaurants, & the perfect weather!DiAnne Allison

Well Don couldn't be any better. I have gone on tours with other companies and he can't be beat. One of the things is like when we got into Bar Harbor just before Dark and if want to eat at a decent hour you have to scramble to find a place to eat supper cause that was on our own. Usual supper time for me is 6 PM just saying. bus driver was super good too. oh loved the place picked for the get to know you meal. Was fun and really good ice breaker. Did like that there were plenty of bus breaks. Don kept us informed of what to expect all the way. ok Hotels they were Good not not quite hit the excellent button yet.

Too many unnecessary stops for bathroom breaks. Stopped in towns with nothing to do. Should have gone directly to the nice hotels and should have never stayed at the last motel. A Motel for a tour at this price was unacceptable.

This was my first time doing a Collette tour happy to report. It was very enjoyable experience from booking the tour on the phone to being picked up at the house to go to the airport. We were picked up at the airport in Maine and taken to a wonderful hotel. our tour guide was Wonderful knowledgeable.. it’s hard to pick one day that was my favorite.. from lobster rolls and clam chowder to the beautiful botanical gardens are top on my list. But also love the trip on the lobster boat seeing the seals.. also love the day spent with the girls on their oyster farm. I also love just walking around the towns that we stayed in the time of year was perfect. The Rododendron’s and lilacs were in full-bloom . I highly recommend Collette and give our tour guide Don Littlefield and our driver an A+.Laurie Robb

I was born in Maine and I wanted to see a bit of my birth state. This entire trip was memorable! The food, drink, sites (Portland, Bar Harbor, Egg Rock Lighthouse, Robinhood Cove, Belfast, Frenchman Bay, Cadillac Mountain, Otter Cove, Maine Tasting Center, Boothbay Harbor), oyster shucking excursion, tour guide, bus driver and fellow travelers.Pamela Cannon
