Maine is located in the northeastern part of the United States. It is dubbed the Pine Tree State for having lush pine tree forests and being home to deers, moose, black bears, foxes, and other wildlife. One of its most famous spots is Tumbledown Mountain, a great location not only for day trips, hiking, and trekking but also for swimming in the lake that sits at the top. Other notable attractions are Acadia National Park, Boothbay Harbor, Victoria Mansion, and Bowdoin College Museum of Art. It also boasts of numerous waterfall hikes, beautiful beaches, food offerings, and other places to visit that will surely be enjoyed by the whole family. Because the Pine Tree State is rich in nature, many areas are ideal for camping and home to glamping resorts.

2. Glamping dome close to a frog and turtle pond in Jefferson (from USD 141)
If glamping can be about one thing, then let it be laying under the stars surrounded by lush greens. This transparent dome house in Jefferson is one of the most beautiful glamping spots in the state for a cozy getaway. Fitted with a queen-size bed, the property can comfortably accommodate two guests.

3. A glamping spot on an organic farm in Franklin (from USD 69)
Many glamping spots boast an expensive structure usually in the middle of a Maine forest, but this particular option is zigging when everybody else is zagging. A tent with a comfy bed, a working table, a simple sink with basic utensils, and a sawdust composting bathroom—things couldn’t get any simpler than these! But still, such spartan conveniences make for a comfortable setting. Guests can explore the organic farm and learn about this environment-friendly method of farming.
Up to three guests can stay in this glamping spot. Other features here include WiFi access, cooking tools and space, free parking, complimentary use of a canoe, and free shampoo.

Maine Tour Guide
Naim Benmayor
<p>As a Boston tour guide, I have the added experience of being a world traveler. For many years, I frequently visited Europe, Asia, and Latin America on business. During this time, I also organized tours of the USA, Europe and Asia for my business clients. I now bring this passion, excitement and expertise to the Boston area.</p><p>By exploring the globe, I was exposed to various cultures, and this unique perspective has taught me what appeals to people when visiting a new part of the country or a new part of the world. My fluency in English and Turkish, and my advanced skills in Spanish and intermediate skills in French, also help me to service a wider range of tourists and business people.</p><p>I moved to Boston, Massachusetts several years ago, and I now reside in Brookline. I have three children, so I develop my tours to accommodate families with kids, couples, and individuals who want to visit and learn about the rich history and culture of Boston. As a parent, I know that Boston is a great place for higher education, and I have knowledge of the colleges and universities in the area.</p><p>I customize tours to suit the needs and preferences of my customers. Whether you want a walking tour, a riding tour, or a little of both, I can create an itinerary that showcases the best of what Boston has to offer.</p><p>My one day tours are educational and entertaining, and include the history, culture, personalities, architecture and, even the shopping areas of this renowned city. At the end of the tour you will be happy and satisfied when you realize you've seen so much in just a short time.</p><p>I am here to share my knowledge of Boston, Cambridge and all of New England with you, and help you to enjoy your visit so you can explore the must-see parts of this great city.
