Portland Explorer | Maine historie, kultur, og 3 fyrtårne tur
Beskrivelse
Hop over byen og gå direkte til kysten på denne dedikerede fyrtur i Maine's bedste fyrtårne. Udforsk tre ikoniske beacons, der har guidet søfolk i århundreder, og hver tilbyder en chance for at dykke ned i deres rige historie. Mens de fleste fyrtårne ikke er åbne for ture, får du stadig tætte udsigter og masser af muligheder for at beundre deres fantastiske arkitektur og naturskønne omgivelser. Når du navigerer gennem Portlands maleriske kystlinje, vil du være omgivet af betagende udsigter, der er lige så berømte som de er smukke. Denne fokuserede, afslappede tur er den perfekte måde at forbinde med det maritime fortid, mens du indtager charmen i Maine's kystlandskab.

Rejseplan
Uanset om du besøger for første gang eller har kaldt Portland hjem i årevis, tilbyder denne tur en frisk og engagerende måde at udforske det store Portland område. Kør komfortabelt om bord på en af vores Ford Transit personbiler, mens vi rejser gennem hjertet af byen og dens naturskønne omgivelser. Vi starter med at køre langs Fore Street, en charmerende historisk vej, der løber parallelt med en af Nordamerikas sidste fungerende kystlinjer. Vi vil passere stenede gader, mursten række bygninger, og nogle af Portlands mest ikoniske butikker, bryggerier og restauranter - mange huser i byens ældste kommercielle og boligstrukturer. Blandingen af gamle verden charme og moderne energi gør dette kvarter en lokal favorit.
Gå rundt i Fort Williams Park hjem til Portland Head Light! Et af de mest fotograferede fyrtårne i verden! Med klippevandringer, mindesmærker og betagende udsigter, vil du være i stand til at tage billeder, besøge fyrtårnsmuseet/gavebutikken "maj-september" og også snuppe en bid/godbid ved et par af parkens food trucks, hummerruller, chowder , gelato, whoopie tærter!
Spring Point Ledge Light vi vil parkere og stoppe i 10 minutter. Her vil din guide opdele betydningen af dette fyrtårn, som er beliggende ude på en 900 fods granitbølgebryder, tidlige 1800-tals militære afdrag i området og naturskønne udsigter over vores kystøer Casco Bay! Spørg venligst din guide om billeder taget under dette stop.
Her ved Portland Breakwater Light, kendt som "Bug Light" for lokalbefolkningen, får du 20 minutter til at besøge et af Maines mindste fyrtårne, der stadig er i drift. Med smukke græske korintiske søjler er dette fyrtårn beliggende på en meget kortere/sikker bølgebryder, hvor du vil være i stand til at gå ud og nyde en fantastisk udsigt over Portlands havnefront!
Når vi afslutter vores tur, kører vi gennem Commercial Street, får du et glimt af en af Nordamerikas sidste fungerende kystlinjer. Denne ikoniske strækning i Portlands gamle havn distrikt har stenede gader, fiskerhammer fra det 19. århundrede og travle pærer, der stadig bruges af lobstermænd og lokale fiskere. Du vil også se en levende blanding af butikker, restauranter og pubber, alle placeret inden for nogle af byens ældste mursten / granit bygninger.

The perfect lighthouse tour! Billy was an excellent guide. We were able to spend enough time at each spot. The Portland Beer Hub was a great meeting point. It had friendly staff and wonderful drinks.
great tour loved it great great great thank Very enjoyable very knowlegable tour guide would recomend to anyone
It was wonderful experience and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The place where we departed from was easy to locate and our tour departed and returned on schedule.
Ally (sp?) was a great guide on our tour of Portland (in the city) and a few lighthouses. She was very knowledgeable of the area and the trips to the lighthouses were especially enjoyable for us. Love the rugged coastline of the area. We did the tour in a comfortable air conditioned van and got out of the van to walk around at the lighthouses. Highly recommend this tour.
This was a nice tour to kickback, learn about the area, and see some lighthouses. Our tour guide was Ali, who is from New England. The van had a PA system and air-conditioning. It’s with a small group (about 10 passengers). The first lighthouse stop let us walk around for about 25 minutes— there was also a food trunk where you could get lobster rolls and gelato. The second stop was 10 minutes, and the final was 15 minutes. In between, as we were driving, Ali provided local history information and suggestions for restaurants. A cold bottle of water was offered, if needed. The trip concluded with a small complimentary pour at the beer hub.
The tour and guide, Erik, was fabulous! Loved that we met at the Portland Beer Hub, and they said that this could now be our home away from home… stop in anytime to use restroom when we're out and about, etc. We learned so much history about Portland and the lighthouses, plus we were given great recommendations for restaurants and other things to do while we were in town. This was the perfect thing to do on our first full day in Portland. Because of Erik's suggestion, we did a day trip to Peaks Island later in the week and that was a true highlight! 100% recommend!
I enjoyed my tour with Eric. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Maine and highlighted a lot of Easter eggs along the way. Talk revolved around gelato, sturgeons, and lobsters. He made the tour very personal and we appreciated that. We were blown away by the views and the food stops. The lobster rolls is a must always.
My wife and I enjoyed our lighthouse tour. Our guide Joe was informative and we saw and learned interesting places around Portland
Eric was our guide and is extremely knowledgeable and we would highly suggest that you take this tour on the front end of your trip. He provided us with amazing suggestions on where to eat, what to do and where to go.
Great tour of the lighthouses in the area. We enjoyed our tour guide John. He was personable and drove a spacious sprinter type van. We loved the inclusion of a 5oz pour at the Portland Beer Hub that we could have before or after the tour. Nice touch!
