Guide was great but the bikes are very sub par. Not well maintained at all - kept slipping gears. Didn’t have lights, bells or rear view mirrors. Other than that ….. we got to see some cool lighthouses and lunch was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable guide.
Scott & Tom were our guides & were amazing. The entire day was so great. Biking between the lighthouses was beyond our expectations.
Thanks for cycling with us
My husband and I were traveling to Portland Maine for only 3 days. We wanted a way to explore Maine all while learning some history, seeing the staple lighthouses, and yes, the XL lobster roll! This is the tour. Our tushies were a little sore the next day, but we would definitely book it again. Rick and Pat were fabulous tour guides- full of good humor and good historical information. 10/10 review!
Thanks for joining us. I hope your tushies have recovered
It was a fun way to see the sights in Portland. The staff were amazing and super friendly. And you get a delicious lobster roll!

Thanks for joining us
My wife and I did the 5 Lighthouse Bike Tour with Rick and had a great time. Rick was a fantastic guide who knew the area well and shared interesting history about each lighthouse and the coastal communities we rode through. The route was scenic and well-paced, with plenty of stops to take in the views and learn about Maine’s maritime heritage. Rick made sure we were comfortable on our bikes and adjusted the pace to what worked for us. The lighthouses were beautiful, and riding along the coast was the perfect way to experience them. Rick’s enthusiasm and local knowledge really enhanced the tour. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see Maine’s iconic lighthouses and enjoy a nice bike ride. Thanks, Rick!
So glad you enjoyed your tour
This was a great easy to moderate ride to the 5 lighthouses. Loved the views and the guides provided a lot of information and trivia along the way. The lobster roll was a tremendous capper to the tour.
Teresa, Thanks for joining us and taking the time to write a review
The tour included a few more hills and cycling on the road than I anticipated but the tour guides made sure that everyone was comfortable and had a good time.
Thanks for taking a trip with us
It was a bit scary because of the urban route, but once you got past it, it was so worth it. Definitely worth waking up for! Frequent stops and a great overview of history & the area. I would say it is advanced beginner. Elise was helpful & encouraging and I felt she prioritized our safety.
Glad that you enjoyed your tour. Portland is a very safe place to ride a bike
We were traveling with Molly and only a small group. The weather and mood were great. It was one of the most beautiful tours on our trip. Molly took us to the beautiful spots of the island and we had a great picnic at the lighthouse with fabulous lobster rolls. We have seen many beautiful places and Molly has told us everything and has made us stop anywhere we wanted to take pictures. There were four of us and there were only 2 other women left on the tour and it worked out great. We felt safe and in good hands at all times. Molly is a very great woman who made the day very special for us and we can only recommend the tour.
Thank you
