Don’t overlook this one - One might question the quality of an audio tour, but I am here to tell you it was an exceptional experience! The guide gave very clear directions of the city and the history behind each point addressed in a way that was easy to follow and absolutely informative and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend you consider this tour next time you’re in the area.

Walking Tour - excellent guide - I found the directions of where to go excellent. My only negative is I wish it said the distance to next stop in approximate steps, kms, miles, feet, etc. What would be most applicable.

Excellent and affordable tour of the Old Port and beyond - I've been going to Portland for years, but stayed on the same few streets in the Old Port. The tour took us on new streets with interesting architecture, parks etc. I'm not from Maine so I enjoyed learning the history. Good narration and the length was just right.

Good basic historical tour of Portland. - A nice way to get to know some of the more popular streets. Arrow function is helpful as well as the ability to pause, rewind, skip ahead, etc.

Such a Disappointment! - Giving up the audio and walking around on our own. The narrative, although informative, gave poor directions in terms of which way to go and which way to turn. It seems we were always headed in the wrong direction. Instead of enjoying the sights around us, we were trying to keep up with the audio- not a pleasant feeling.
