Delightful! - Our tour guide—a school bus driver during the off season—was truly delightful. She was so knowledgeable about the area and hilarious. Definitely recommend going on your first full day. We planned a lot of our trip based on her narration.

Wendy Lee’s Incredible Spirit - Our hostess, Wendy Lee, was an absolute joy to experience our tour with. She showed her plentiful knowledge with proud enthusiasm even though we only had 4 riders in total. She earned all our smiles and laughs and shared in our positive energy. She loves what she does and is the sole reason my girlfriend and I would come back again for another of their tours.

Worth every penny!! - Our guide was phenomenal and we learned so much about the city despite the fact that we are residents of South Portland and frequent visitors to Portland itself. The weather was glorious and showed the city off to perfection! The seats were comfortable, the trolley was airy with great visibility out of all windows. This was worth every penny, we spent!

Enjoyed the Food, Fun, and Beauty of Portland - We really enjoyed the history and beautiful scenery of Portland. What a beautiful town and a great way to see everything on an unseasonably hot summer day.

Fun Ride - This is a great way to see the city and learn about Portland's history. The trolley is comfortable and the guide was knowledgable and kept a good pace. This trolley also went out to the light house and it was better than driving out and parking twice. I would recommend this for day trippers to the city.

# 1 & # 2 possible problems- no public restrooms. - Tour Business doesn’t provide restroom facilities ( even though they have one for employees only) . Nearest public restroom is about 3 blocks away / for a 1 hour tour plus they want you to arrive 20 minutes early/ restrooms are needed especially for children and seniors. Driver response— he should sell “Depends “. He also made several jokes about lack of restrooms plus several off color jokes during tour. He joked about Drivers having to be Drug tested- they found high dosage of Viagra in his urine..
