Great time in Portland - The best part of our tour was having Dugan as our guide. He gave us so much information about Portland. You could tell that he was proud to be from the area. We had a great time.

Short history time - Charlie was our favorite part. He answered our questions. Informative about the town and you can tell how passionate he is with his hometown. I appreciated Bar Harbor more after learning her history

Beautiful day; average tour - While the tour host shared a lot of interesting information, his props and visual aids, (well-intended) were sub-par. I was more impressed by Viator's communications (confirmations, emails, etc.). Those interactions and exchanges were far superior to the quality of the excursion tour itself. So, somewhat of a letdown overall.

Very slow…we left the tour after 30 mins - Sadly our experience did not align with others. Our guide seemed content to show us laminated pictures of things. Based on other reviews - other guides appear to be more engaging and interesting. We left after ~25-30 minutes - perhaps the best was yet to come but it was a very long start to the tour.
