Comfortable, cool ride in a refurbished antique fire truck! - On our trip to coastal Maine, we stopped at the visitors center to get some suggestions for interesting things to do there. The woman who we spoke to there recommended this. We were so glad we took the tour. It was reasonably priced and our tour guides were amazing. It took just over an hour and we got a wonderful overview of Portland including all of its famous sites and a comprehensive history of the city. Well worth including in our visit to this beautiful coastal gem!

Best Tour-You need to do this! - It was so enjoyable. Very informative. We just got off the cruise ship, and found their guide at the port. He was so NICE? When we got on the tour, they also had a big screen tv that the guide showed us additional pictures and information on the history at each of the landmarks we stopped at. Thank you guys for making this tour so much fun.

Educational Tour - A great tour. What makes it special is the narrator has a large screen in the front of the seating. On the screen were historical photos and maps that add a great deal to the experience. Very educational. I highly recommend it.
