Itinerario
Ya sea que visite Portland por primera vez o que haya llamado a Portland a su hogar durante años, este tour ofrece una manera fresca y atractiva de explorar el área metropolitana de Portland. Viaja cómodamente a bordo de una de nuestras camionetas Ford Transit, mientras viajamos por el corazón de la ciudad y sus pintorescos alrededores. Comenzando el recorrido, conduciremos por Fore Street, una encantadora vía histórica que corre paralela a uno de los últimos paseos marítimos en funcionamiento de América del Norte. Pasaremos por calles empedradas, edificios en hileras de ladrillos y algunas de las tiendas, bares y restaurantes más emblemáticos de Portland, muchos de ellos ubicados en las estructuras comerciales y residenciales más antiguas de la ciudad. La mezcla de encanto del viejo mundo y energía moderna hace de este barrio un favorito local.
Camine alrededor de Fort Williams Park, hogar de Portland Head Light. ¡Uno de los faros más fotografiados del mundo! Con paseos por los acantilados, monumentos conmemorativos y vistas impresionantes, podrá tomar fotos, visitar el museo/tienda de regalos Lighthouse "mayo-septiembre" y también tomar un bocado/golosina en algunos de los camiones de comida del parque, rollos de langosta, sopa de pescado , helado, pasteles whoopie!
Spring Point Ledge Light estacionaremos y nos detendremos durante 10 minutos. Aquí su guía desglosará la importancia de este faro que está situado en un rompeolas de granito de 900 pies, instalaciones militares de principios de 1800 en el área y vistas panorámicas de nuestras islas costeras de Casco Bay. Solicite a su guía fotografías tomadas durante esta parada.
Aquí en Portland Breakwater Light, conocido como "Bug Light" para los lugareños, tendrá 20 minutos para visitar uno de los faros más pequeños de Maine que aún está en servicio. Con hermosas columnas corintias griegas, este faro está situado en un rompeolas mucho más corto y seguro donde podrá caminar y disfrutar de las impresionantes vistas de la costa de Portland.
Cuando terminemos nuestro recorrido, conducimos por Commercial Street, podrá ver uno de los últimos paseos marítimos en funcionamiento de América del Norte. Este emblemático tramo del distrito Old Port de Portland cuenta con calles empedradas, muelles pesqueros del siglo XIX y muelles bulliciosos que todavía utilizan los pescadores de langosta y locales. También verá una vibrante mezcla de boutiques, restaurantes y pubs, todos ubicados en algunos de los edificios de ladrillo / granito más antiguos de la ciudad.

Bland. You get visit a few sights and neighbourhoods. Not much history. Guide was nice and friendly but mostly just a driver. M .
The lighthouse tour was great way to learn the history and see a few lighthouses to boot. Our guide was Peter and he very informative on history and shared places to eat. Peter had humorous way of sharing Portland’s history. We had enjoyed morning and I would recommend this tour.

A wonderful and informative trip. Got to see the 3 lighthouses and also got a historical perspective of the city. It was a warm day so it was good to be in an AC vehicle. Billy our tour guide was passionate about Portland which is always good to see in a guide. He was well informed of the history of Portland and we had a most pleasant trip. Would recommend it to others!
We're so happy to hear that you had a good time with Billy on the Lighthouse Tour! His knowledge of Portland's rich maritime history is outmatched only by his desire to share it with others. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you again soon!
We really enjoyed our tour of three lighthouses and Joe was an excellent tour guide. There were 10 of us in our group, which was a nice size for the vehicle, and we really liked that we were able to include two lighthouses that were too small for our ship's tour buses to be able to visit.
We're glad to hear you had a good time with Joe on the Lighthouse Tour! His knowledge of the area and passion with sharing it with others is second to none, and we're happy to hear he showed the group a fun time. There's a lot more to explore around here so we hope to see you again sometime soon!
Fun trip! The headlight is amazing. Pete was a great guide. Very hot weather but nice to have A/C in the van.

Seeing three lighthouses around Portland was absolutely amazing! This tour however was not really a tour, there was no talk about history or culture, as the link said. This was disappointing because we were really looking forward to it. This tour is truly a drive and drop to each lighthouse. If you have transportation- you can do it yourself. If you do not have transportation- then its helpful. The guide was nice, but truly a let down.
Thank you for the kind words about the lighthouses and the guide. We're sorry the tour didn't match what you expected. Our guides are trained to share ample historical and cultural context at each stop, so we're looking into this with the team. Our hope is to provide an exceptional experience that dives deep into Portland's history and culture, for folks both with and without transportation, and we'll use your feedback to make sure every guide is delivering the storytelling that's core to the experience. Thanks again for visiting, and we hope to see you again sometime soon.
Billy was very knowledgeable and friendly. The van was comfortable. We loved the lights houses. Over all a great trip. .
