BOOK IT!! - My husband and I were traveling to Portland Maine for only 3 days. We wanted a way to explore Maine all while learning some history, seeing the staple lighthouses, and yes, the XL lobster roll! This is the tour. Our tushies were a little sore the next day, but we would definitely book it again. Rick and Pat were fabulous tour guides- full of good humor and good historical information. 10/10 review!

Scenic Coastal Cycling - My wife and I did the 5 Lighthouse Bike Tour with Rick and had a great time. Rick was a fantastic guide who knew the area well and shared interesting history about each lighthouse and the coastal communities we rode through.
The route was scenic and well-paced, with plenty of stops to take in the views and learn about Maine’s maritime heritage. Rick made sure we were comfortable on our bikes and adjusted the pace to what worked for us.
The lighthouses were beautiful, and riding along the coast was the perfect way to experience them. Rick’s enthusiasm and local knowledge really enhanced the tour.
Highly recommend this tour if you want to see Maine’s iconic lighthouses and enjoy a nice bike ride.
Thanks, Rick!

Awesome tour and wonderful guides - This was a great easy to moderate ride to the 5 lighthouses. Loved the views and the guides provided a lot of information and trivia along the way. The lobster roll was a tremendous capper to the tour.

The gain is more than the effort. - It was a bit scary because of the urban route, but once you got past it, it was so worth it. Definitely worth waking up for! Frequent stops and a great overview of history & the area. I would say it is advanced beginner. Elise was helpful & encouraging and I felt she prioritized our safety.

Fun ride…… bad bikes. - Guide was great but the bikes are very sub par. Not well maintained at all - kept slipping gears. Didn’t have lights, bells or rear view mirrors. Other than that ….. we got to see some cool lighthouses and lunch was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide.
