This is a great tour. Wilton (Will) was our guide and he was friendly knowledgeable and considerate of our needs (we are seniors). The e-bikes are top notch and the terrain is easy to ride. Time flew by and the sights were amazing. Highly recommend

Our family of 4 with 2 older teens went on the guided e-bike tour and absolutely loved the entire day! Wilton was our guide and he was very engaging, fun, respectful of nature, and knew the history of the island (which was extra interesting to my history-loving son!). He was so gracious with taking photos of our family with my camera. We also appreciated the format of the day with more stops for learning in the first half, a stop at Jordan Pond to take a break and then the second half was primarily riding. The e-bikes themselves were great - well taken care of and they all worked perfectly. The 15 min safety overview was clear and concise. We all felt very safe and it was easier than expected! Wilton reminded us to make sure the bikes were in the “red, one” position each stop so that we’d have the bike assistance! Thank you for a great day - it was an absolute highlight of our Maine trip!
