Thinking of gifting the Boothbay tour—need some advice!

I’m looking at this Boothbay, Freeport, and Maine Botanical Gardens tour for my parents’ anniversary. They love nature and exploring new places, but I’m worried about how long the tour actually lasts. Anyone done this? What was your experience like?

Just got back from the Boothbay tour—wow!

I just finished the Boothbay, Freeport, and Maine Botanical Gardens tour and I can’t recommend it enough! The views were stunning, especially the Portland Head Light! Plus, the guide was super knowledgeable. Make sure to check out the L.L.Bean store while you’re there—such cool stuff. Definitely a great gift for anyone who loves Maine!
