The Food is Great, the Tour Company is Magnificent - The food stops were perfect and amazing with each welcoming the group like old customers. From the Halibut Tacos,cookies, chowda,and lobster rolls it truly was a eatathon to say the least. But the greatest part of this tour was the guide. AJ. AJ was amazing. She was energetic and eager, funny and professional. She loves and has mastered her craft. I wish the world could have her smile and love for others. I have been on any tours, most I regretted, but I didn’t want this one to end. The delivery of her information and her spontaneity made everyone feel so special and really made the food taste even better. The restaurants we visited owe her a debt of gratitude….actually more. From the stop on the sidewalk to shuck oysters and introduce them in a way that made those uninterested try them, and like them,to the live lobster that was produced out of nowhere AJ time after time kept us all hanging on every word. AJ is one of those who could do anything in this world with perfection but she truly is in the right place! Thanks for spending time with us while in Portland. 10 stars would not cover how we enjoyed it!

Best lobster roll I’ve ever had. The seafood chowder was amazing. Our guide, AJ, was funny and very well informed. - Great sea food of a wide variety and lots of fun facts about the history and food scene of Maine and Portland. Interesting beverage choices were also provided and discussed. The raw oyster shucked by AJ was a highlight.

Fun tours. Lots of food - Guide was Ray a professor of history amongst things. Very friendly, informative and passionate about food . Lots of food not just seafood. Tour was posted as 2 hours but lasted 3.5 hours due to the amount of information and the small group chatting. Worth the cost
