Reviews
We actually did not get to take the Isles of Shoals part of our booking. We were contacted the night before and rescheduled a different 2nd half to our tour. Our guide, Mel, was fantastic and very informative of the area and history. He was extremely accommodating when our boat part of tour had to wait on a bus stuck in traffic. Instead of leaving us to wait in lot, he took us to several other sites until the bus arrived. We had an extremely busy and fun day. So glad we took the tour.
