Loved this introduction to Portland ME and their awesome seafood! - We spent one week traveling along the coast of Maine for the first time. We decided to do this Seafood Lovers Walking Tour to get an overview of Portland and because we LOVE Seafood! The weather was perfect! I was a bit concerned about how far we would walk but it was only about 3/4 to 1 mile. We had a haddock taco at the first stop. Never had haddock or a fish taco before but it was delish! Then we went for NE Clam Chowder! It was a bit cool outside so it was a perfect day for Chowder. I can tell you we all agreed it was the best we have ever had. Thanks so much! Then we went to the next stop for a lobster roll. We were already borderline satisfied, until I tried the lobster. Best ever, so melt in your mouth. Ate all the lobster and left the roll! We really enjoyed the root beer also. This was made in house as well. We finished up at a Chocolatier. Everything was perfect and we are so pleased that we decided to take this tour. Next trip we will come back and stay a week in Portland.

Tour the best dishes in Portland! - AJ was a delightful tour guide, and we were treated to delicious local treats — Allagash special beer to kick off the morning, haddock tacos (who knew? How yummy!), the area’s best chowder, as well as a great suggestion from AJ — try the local coffee flavored brandy! Which was great too, especially added to half cream on ice. Visiting the Harbor fish market showed us what all the freshest fish and seafood looked like before it ever gets onto your plate, and AJ shared a lot about the harvesting and life cycle of those lobsters in the tank.

Short on food and disorganized - We booked this tour hoping to sample some of the famous seafood Portland is known for. We left hungry and disappointed. This lengthy tour only included stops at 3 restaurants plus a fundraiser concessions stand. The food at these stops were 1 fish taco, 1 lobster roll, 1 small cup of chowder and a donut from the concession stand. Many other foods like muscles, scallops and Portland’s famous Holy donuts were discussed, but we never actually got to eat any of them. (And isn’t that the point of a food tour?) AJ was our guide and the tour started late, went long and too much time was spent at each of the stops. Everything seemed thrown together on the fly and not well organized. The most disappointing thing though was the lack of food. Overall, not worth the time and especially not the money.
