When Norm heard that we wanted a photography tour, he did not disappoint. From moment one he had…read moreplanned out an itinerary of bucolic and iconic Maine sites. From the famous Portland Head Lighthouse to off the beaten path locations that no tourist ever attended, he found spots to take gorgeous photos and videos. Although the weather on the day we visited was overcast, Norm even planned for those weather contingencies and had multiple locations ready for us to film from. He helped to structure the tour so that lighting was best for the specific shot. Prior to our tour, Norm had also location scouted a variety of different locations so that he could recommend specific spots from which to film rather than us wasting time looking for a spot to shoot from. Norm was also extremely hospitable and friendly and epitomized Maine hospitality. Norm and his company have the flexibility to cater the tour to your exact specifications: You want local only food places for foodies; you want a tour in Cantonese or Portuguese; You want a tour of all lighthouses -- nothing was a problem. Norm also took us to a local restaurant that had some of the best clam chowder in the east coast, and the absolute best lemon mascarpone cheesecake that I have ever tasted in my life. Thank you Norm. We would never do Maine without first booking a tour with you.

My wife and I traveled to Portland Maine this past weekend (August 20th 2022) for my birthday. My…read morewife booked the Portland Venture to try a few different restaurants in the Portland area. Our guide was Jason G. He was so much fun, but moreso, very knowledgeable about the city, restaurants, and some of the historical landmarks. he was a very personable guy and you need that type of a personality on a 2 hour walk. It was one of the best parts about our trip to Portland. We were able to try some great local food and drinks and learn so much about a fantastic city! We will definitely be back. Jason was fantastic and we highly recommend asking for him through Maine Day Ventures! you won't be disappointed!

He gave us a taste of the local history, culture, industry and suggestions for further explorations after getting off his tour. Enjoyed hearing the impact Irish immigrants had on the area. Something you don't hear much about anymore. It was evident Shawn knew the area and cared about those on the tour not just reading a script. Will ride with Shawn again cuz I know his next tour will provide new and exciting tales of Portland Maine.

This is an excellent museum which highlights Bath's proud history of shipbuilding in Maine…read more Although the admission fee is high ($20 or $22), it helps to support the volunteers and activities of the museum. We only had 2 hours available, so we focused largely on the exhibits. The museum includes various buildings which highlight different aspect of shipbuilding from caulking, blacksmithing, and building skiffs (modern day boats used to travel on Maine's coastal waterways). We loved the exhibit on lobstering in Maine - with superb displays that showed why Maine's lobsters are prized worldwide (they have the best claw meat), and a colorful display of buoys and traps. Talking with volunteers about the art of woodcarving and building skiffs was very interesting. It was cool to see the flagpoles (representing the Wyoming schooner) and Bath Iron Works in the distance (a current shipyard for the U.S. Navy). Since we only had 2 hours available from 10am-12pm, we could not join the afternoon lighthouse cruises (which looked like fun). Overall, we enjoyed our visit to the Maine Maritime Museum! You'll learn a lot about Bath's proud history of shipbuilding and the tradition of lobstering in Maine.

I have done cruises, taken classes, and attended dinners here, and each experience was such a treat! I know that I will NEVER again watch fireworks from shore when it was so much better to watch them from the water. I highly recommend becoming a Museum member, not just for the event discounts, but just to have access to the beautiful grounds. I have whiled away more than one afternoon, watching the beautiful Kennebec River and all the wildlife from the grassy shore. This Museum is so much more than a museum; it's a celebration of Bath's relationship with the sea. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would!

Elwin, the owner, is a terrible business manager with disregard to his costumers - we were freezing and asked Elwin to lower the air conditioner needless to say he did not and we were left to freeze for the entire ride. However, the most startling moment was Elwin telling us he has only seen moose on 3/47 of his trips. DOESN'T A SUCCESS RATE OF 6.38% STRIKE AS A SIGN THAT A CHANGE IS NEEDED IN THE BUSINESS MODEL?! This was generally a tour that gave me flashbacks to my school field trips. We ironed the same three roads back and forth - you expected a safari? Well the entire tour is on paved road no safari whatsoever. The entertainment that was used to lure us in included a discovery channel documentary that bore us to sleep, another documentary, and a slideshow made by Elwin including photos of Moose to the tune of "Hey Mr.Moose." Honestly the fact that this business is still functioning is beyond me. How can one take $40 for this monstrosity and not feel ashamed. Please skip this tour. By the way our tour lowered his success rate to 6.25% - in other words no moose (must mention that he did invite everyone back for a free tour - but how should I put it: I think we'll skip).

If I could give no stars, I would do so for this vendor and I normally hate giving bad reviews. L/A…read moreLuxury Limousine was supposed to provide transportation for our wedding and in the end completely failed to show up and threw our wedding day off. They were contracted through our venue as the required transportation source to use, so we depended on them for transportation in rural Maine which is critical. I reached out to them in March of 2016 to discuss my October wedding and had a great conversation with a young lady who walked me through how the process worked and assured me everything would go smoothly given they are the sole transportation providers for the venue. Fast forward to the month before my wedding and I had to call repeatedly to try and get Josh to call me back and then after contacting the venue for help, finally heard from him. He sounded like all was in order and it should have been okay, although it was clear he didn't have the date on his calendar. And in turn, on the day of our wedding, without any warning what so ever, the shuttles never picked my guests up from the hotel which was 45 minutes from our venue. It was not until our guests and our wedding party pieced together that the buses were never coming that we even knew to do something about the situation. We were first told they went to the wrong hotel (which is weird since we only had one) and then we were told the bus broke down and the driver never told anyone which was why they were late. In the end, my guests had to drive themselves to our wedding, delaying the start by an hour and a half at which point the weather turned from clear skies to a downpour which completely ruined our chance for any outdoor photos or really many wedding party photos at all. In the end I believe they never really planned to support our event and that the shuttles were never coming. And really while mistakes do happen, the worst part of the entire situation is we still, one month later, have never heard from this company to apologize for what occurred on our wedding. Having at least their acknowledgement of the inconvenience and mistake would have gone a long way. Be weary if using this company and be sure to get all details in writing to confirm they are actually booking what you discuss.

We then saw the stretch limo had gotten stuck on the camp road and the driver didn't know what to do. We are now 45 minutes behind schedule for my father's memorial service, and needless to say my mother was quite distraught. We hopped in our cars and arrived late.
