We did the train ride one way up to Crawford notch. We booked this as a cruise ship excursion, so…read morethey drive us back from there. It was an expensive excursion, but it was well worth it for the amazing fall colors! I prob. Wouldn't bother with it if the fall colors weren't so great, although I'm sure there are still amazing views then. There is a snack bar on board and lots of seating. Right side is best for views. The town is great to get some food and shopping done too.

May I start by saying that under ideal circumstances this would be an expensive but enjoyable trip…read more This trip was Oct 2026. I also acknowledge that the weather is uncontrollable as is the peak of the fall foliage season. That being said I feel that this was a horrible trip due to the unpreparedness of the staff. Instructions at online pre-purchase of tickets states to pickup a paper boarding pass at "will call". There is no "will call" window. There is a crowd of people trying form a line to get to the "ticket window" to get there pass. Once they get there pass there is another line that is not discernible from the first line that is the boarding line. They run adjacent to each other and slowly word leaks out that this is the case. Too bad for the people that waited in the wrong line. There are no ropes or directional signs to assist. Staff does not come outside to tell any one of this or offer verbal direction. There is no food allowed on the train. Once we were able to board the train an announcement was made over speaker that a pre-ordered lunch can be picked up in the snack/bar car. Making a trip to the restroom and a side trip to the snack car, located in same car, is a test of patience and endurance. Only to be told, when you arrive at the front of the line to pickup your lunch, that they forgot to load the lunches at the embarkation station. This could have at least been announced over the speaker system. Passengers seated at tables in the dining car had to also endure the constant jostling of all the passengers trying to get to restrooms and the snack bar. We had seats in the dome car. As posted in the ticket pricing these seats are twice the cost of standard seating. What we paid for was a car that had no heat and in fact the air conditioning was turned on several times. The temperature outside was in the low 40's and inside the dome a chilly 63 degrees while standard cars were in the 70's. (I have pictures, you can't make this stuff up). As said earlier it was raining and the dome windows were streaming water into the cabin. Maintenance was prepared with a roll of duct tape within easy reach. (I have pictures) They taped windows more than once. Paper towels were issued to try and clear windows. Now I understand that things can happen on an old train. However this is their peak season. It is a very short season and not their first season. I would think that they would have the system refined to the point of mitigating these problems. Just as they had duct tape handy, although primitive as that is, they were ill prepared at best. No compensation was offered for our inconvenience or discomfort beyond having to ask for a refund for a lunch not delivered. This can happen to you and I can't recommend a roll of the dice to make this trip. A simple drive to Crawford Notch and return would have been easier and cheaper.

Captain Bill was hands down one of the best parts of our girls' bachelorette weekend! From the…read moreminute we got on the boat, we knew we were in good hands. He put safety first, which meant we could just relax and enjoy the day without a worry. We spent the afternoon hanging out in Braun Bay, swimming, playing beer pong, and enjoying a delicious lunch we brought on the boat. It honestly couldn't have been a more perfect day. Captain Bill is one of those people who instantly makes you feel comfortable. He's genuinely kind, funny, easy to talk to, and somehow knew exactly what our group needed to make the day so much fun. By the end of the trip, it felt like we'd been boating with a friend. Our day was so memorable that we've already decided this is going to become a yearly summer tradition. We can't wait to come back! Thank you, Captain Bill, for giving us a day we'll never forget. We appreciate you more than you know! - Alex

A very belated review, as we did two outings with Captain Bill in Sept 2025. We had several…read moreobjectives in our outings: [1] have him take us around part of the lake so we could become more familiar with it, [2] teach me about boating as I was studying for boating license at the time, and [3] enjoy the lake while he drove his boat for my wife and I. All missions accomplished. Captain Bill was super knowledgeable, patient, considerate, fun and easy to talk to. We look forward to another outing this Spring / Summer!

What a amazing experience. My wife and I went to Portland to visit Maine (we fell in love with it…read morea few years ago and wanted to check out Portland). She searched for things to do and found this tour and I am sure glad she did. We did the biking tour with Don and it was wonderful. Was able to taste some local mead, beer, and rum and see parts of Portland. He was extremely friendly, fun, and informative. I am not going to lie...I was a little bummed when my wife said she booked this tour instead of the earlier biking brewery tour (visit 3 local brewery's as opposed to our scheduled mead, beer, and rum tour). But it didn't matter, it was a amazing experience. In fact, our guide pointed out man local establishments on the tour that we tried the next day (cough..cough..Forage Market) and was amazed; it truly added to our Portland experience. And we have a tour for the next time we come. All in all...6 out of 5 stars for this organization. I wish I was able to post some pictures, but to be honest, I didn't think about it as I was immersed in the moment and enjoying every second of it. So when in Portland...book your tour, you won't be sorry.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this place!…read more I had to VERY quickly reorganize a group trip of (almost) 50 people from another destination to here in under 24 hours. Talk about wild! From my initial call & email to when we loaded up our vans to leave, this place was extremely accommodating and helpful when it came time to entertain my group of campers and adult staff. Springing a large group on any place last minute is daunting and the staff here was incredible. At $5 per person, we couldn't have asked for a better day off-camp! On a warm, summer day, my kiddos and I loved getting some hands-on farm experience! Meeting the cows, petting chickens, feeding goats, and watering the animals. The kids (ages 7-12) had a great time. We ate lunch in a central area with a tent where we could store our belongings during the day. Plus, they sold cheap candy in the gift shop - my campers were elated. We also got a brief tour of The Country Doctor's House - so much history! The kids loved the brief tour, but if we would have done the full-length tour, it would have been too much. They had a variety of lawn games and a laundry activity that my youngest campers enjoyed. Go support small museums and historical sites! Places like these are eager to share their stories and educate the public! Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful little town and a gem hidden in its midst. We took the "medical tour" and,…read morefrom a very knowledgeable and friendly young man, learned a mesmerizing history of two doctors, father and son, who tended to the townsfolk over an entire century, even as the state of medical science advanced dramatically. The farm surrounding their practice is exquisite and an easy walk through meadows and woods, surrounded by happy cows and goats. I really can't recommend this experience too highly.
