Best trip ever - This was one of the best trips I've been on. The people were so nice and welcoming. The lighthouse trolley tour and the cruise were fantastic and very informative. The best part was the restaurants. The food was amazing everywhere we went. So many wonderful places right downtown on the waterfront. Would recommend Gilbert's Chowder House and DiMillos on the Water. Both excellent and very different vibes. I would travel to Portland again without hesitation.

Portland by Texans! - Steve was amazing! His knowledge of Portland history, facts & “Dad Jokes” was just the type of tour that we wanted; he kept us engaged and at the perfect pace for this tour. I recommend this tour and Steve as the operator if you have a choice when in Portland.

Fun and Intrigue on a Trolley Bus. - Had a great time discovering Portland and Cape Elizabeth with our friendly, knowledgeable and funny tour guide Wendy.
I learnt so much about the city and beyond in a Trolley Bus which also had its own charm.
They show you around many of the sights and interesting locations and keep you entertained with local anecdotes.

Port Head Light was the best. - Port Head Light was the best. But a brief stop was not long enough. This is an awesome sight. A person should arrange to stay there about 2 hours.
