Great tour! - Both of the guides were great! Rick and Dan both had great information along the ride. We rode about 16 miles, there were some hills but doable even if you had to walk your bike a little. The views were stunning and a great way to see the area. Lunch was a fantastic bonus! Great lobster rolls.

Fun ride with a small group and a friendly guide - Even with a little rain during parts, it was a great time. The guide was very nice and fun with good information. There is some riding on the road but it’s not bad and most riding is on the greenway which is great. The lobster rolls in the park by one of the lighthouses was a fun experience.

Great trip - Great way to see the coast. Emma and Rick were wonderful guides. Lobster roll was delicious. The pace was slow and the bikes were good quality but I'm going to feel it tomorrow! All in, about 15 miles of biking.

Tour de Lighthouses - The tour was perfect! We cycled by the coast to the lighthouses and saw breathtaking views. Scott our guide was awesome! He made sure we were safe in downtown areas and even asked if we wanted to take extra time for a gorgeous view look back at all the lighthouses we saw. When we stopped to eat at Portland Head Light ( delicious lobster rolls included) he shook out a buffalo check tablecloth for the table and finished off the meal with dessert!!
Definitely go if you have the time you won’t be disappointed!

Worth doing - The description is misleading. You only visit 3 lighthouses not 5. Scott our guide was great. We saw some beautiful sights. The lobster roll was delish!
