Walking Lobster Roll Tour Portland Maine - If you’re in Portland, Maine, the Walking Lobster Roll Tour with Kris is an absolute must-do! From start to finish, the experience was incredible. The lobster rolls we sampled along the way were hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had—fresh, flavorful, and uniquely prepared at each stop. One of the highlights was seeing lobsters being unloaded straight from a working lobster boat, which made the whole experience feel authentic and special. Kris is a fantastic guide—warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about Portland. Along the walk, we learned so much about the city’s rich history, from its seafaring roots to its modern food culture. The tour also included a stop at the famous Holy Donut, which was such a fun and tasty surprise. Kris mentioned that she also leads morning donut tours, which I can only imagine are just as wonderful. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of food, history, and local flavor, this tour is the one to book. Highly recommended
