Visitor Comments
A few visitors' answers to the question "What did you like best about your experience on our tour?"
What particularly attracted me about your tours was their small size and particular suitability to a multigenerational group, as ours was. I wish we had taken the history tour early in our stay in Lubec because we were shown so many places we would have liked to explore later on our own - more than we had time for. We all enjoyed our Lubec vacation - except the long drive to get there - and your tour was one of the highlights.

What I liked most was Shelly's enthusiasm and general knowledge of the town and fishing industry history.
Micheal G. of Gaithersburg, MD
What I liked most was the casual nature of the tour - very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. What I liked most was the fact that the tour guides were local people who love the place, and their enthusiasm is infectious. Now I want to move here.

What I liked most was interesting rocks; tasting rose hips and dulse.
Mara V., Washington DC
What I liked most was Shelly knew so many interesting things and was enthusiastic in sharing that with us. I've walked on the beach many times oblivious to some of the amazing things that were going on right at my feet. I also enjoyed the fact that Shelly wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty while at the same time she demonstrated a great respect for all of the creatures and their environment.
