We had a great time. It rained most of the day so we were a little soggy but our guide, Lucia, was great and the sights were still beautiful. We loved the trolley ride with all of the history. I would do it again and would certainly recommend it to others.

Trip with family
Melissa_D, Nov 2023
We were on holiday in Boston and took the day trip with my mum(75 yrs) and my aunt and they found the trip to be quite relaxed and not at all tiring . The guide/ driver did a good job (sorry I don’t remember his name). We also did the trolley tour in kennybunkport which was very picturesque. The trolley giode was a huge fan of George Bush Sr. and told us a lot about the bush family . I recommend this trip.

The Maine Event
Cheryl_B, Oct 2023
I enjoyed this day trip to Maine. The highlight for me was the scenic walk along Marginal Way. Unfortunately, time was limited and there wasn't enough time to complete the walk and return to the bus before departure time so an additional 1/2 hour would have been great. I was also looking forward to an optional excursion aboard a lobster boat. The website did say it depended on time and availability but when we boarded our tour bus it was never even mentioned as a possible option. It was disappointing...if New England Trips has discontinued this optional tour entirely they should revise their website and remove any mention of it being a "possible excursion".

Loved the coast and Kennebunkport with Ed!!!
Harvey_H, Oct 2023
Loved seeing the coast from Boston through New Hampshire and into Maine. Kennebunkport is a very charming city. Loved lunch at the Boat House and the trolley tour with Ed. Ed is remarkable. What’s with the 100 character minimum which is usually too much. Won’t do that again!!!!!!!’n

Avoid this company
Tallie_d, Sep 2023
Extremely rude staff and they got lost while driving. The area itself is beautiful but I don’t recommend the company offering the tour
Response from Host, Sep 2023
First of all, you never made it to the meeting spot in time to take the tour, so please don't imply that you did. You were told specifically where to be and what time to be there. You had a 730am pickup and when you called at 723am, you had yet to leave your hotel at least 30 minutes away. The other 20 guests made it on time, but yet you think that it's OK to cut into their day by waiting for you. We even tried to accommodate you by coming to your hotel but that didn't end up working out. (We didn't get lost) If anything, you should be praising our effort. I THINK THAT ALL OF OUR 5 STAR REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES! Sincerely, Stephen M. Belcastro President New England Trips Inc.
Boston to Maine day trip.
Sally_B, Sep 2023
Excellent tour of Kennebunkport Maine and the road to get there. I highly recommend Lucia as your tour guide. We toured twice with her and she was so knowledgeable and considerate about our time and gave us enough breaks along the route. Ask for Lucia on your next tour

Good trip but not recommended for British tourists
Doug_F, Sep 2023
The actual tour of the coast was excellent including the Trolley Bus Unfortunately the driver spoilt the tour with his insistence on Boston history on the tour which was anti-British; He did not take account of having British tourists on the trip and at times his rhetoric was so anti-British that a few of the Americans on the tour apologised to us when we got off and they were disgusted and even they stated they were on the point of saying something, especially as it was not a historical tour
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank for your review. I apologize for any anti-British rhetoric. It certainly was not intentional. I am glad that you enjoyed the beauty of the Maine Coast and your trolley tour. Kind Regards, Stephen M. Belcastro President New England Trips Inc.
Lucia was excellent....
Dennis_P, Aug 2023
Lucia was excellent. Lunch was a disappointment. Ate chowder and a lobster roll at Federal Jack’s. Would not return. The coastal stops were great. Good pacing. Great way to spend a long day.
