Town Trolley - Our tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant to listen to. I loved the open air trolley, you could see much better. The lighthouse was great and the town tour was good. Highly recommend!

Portland City Tour and Lighthouse - This tour was very informative and gave a nice overview of the city of Portland. It passed by several historical sites, the working waterfront, and the Old Port area. The stopover at the Portland Head Lighthouse was a nice ending to this tour. I would highly recommend it. The tour guide was excellent too and he shared so much information about the history of the area.

Great Tour of Portland Maine - This was a great tour, we were on a cruise stop and it was a wonderful way to spend a few hours seeing some key points in Portland Maine. The location was easy to find, just a short walk from the cruise terminal. The lady driver was really engaging and entertaining and very very knowledgeable of the area.
We zig zagged through the streets of Portland and for me the highlight was the view and the photos we were able to take of the lighthouse.
I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour, Great guide - We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide Wendy Lee did a great job making it all come alive for us! The best parts for us were the Promenades, and of course the lighthouse. Would return. Sweet tour!
