Lisa and Roger have clearly created something special in Boothbay Harbor. Guests consistently praise Lisa's storytelling abilities, whether she's sharing ghost stories, local legends, or historical tidbits about the community. Her passion for the area shines through, and visitors love how she blends supernatural tales with genuine local history. The tours feel like adventures rather than standard tourist activities, with multiple stops at hidden gems and scenic spots you'd likely miss on your own. The e-bike component gets rave reviews for being accessible and fun, even for those who haven't cycled in years. Roger and the team take time to ensure everyone feels comfortable before setting out, offering practice runs and making bike adjustments as needed. Safety is clearly a priority, with guides positioned at the front and back of groups. One helpful tip from reviewers: you should have ridden a regular bike within the past year to feel confident on the e-bikes. The tours include thoughtful extras like a visit to Villard Studios for a woodblock print demonstration, photos sent after the tour, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and chat with your guides about everything from local business to Bigfoot theories.
