Itinerario
Adéntrate en el corazón del alma marítima de Portland en el Working Waterfront, donde los muelles erosionados y el aire salado aún cuentan la historia de una ciudad construida junto al mar. A medida que los barcos pesqueros descargan las capturas del día y las gaviotas ruedan por encima, sentirá el pulso de un puerto que alimenta tanto la economía de Portland como su cultura. Esta parada ofrece algo más que una simple vista: es una oportunidad para experimentar una conexión viva y respirable con el mar, donde la tradición y la industria se encuentran en cada marea y muelle maderero.
Parada: Intercambio de pescado de Portland Visite Portland Fish Exchange, una de las únicas subastas de pescado en funcionamiento en los Estados Unidos. En los días de subasta, es posible que sea testigo de la venta rápida de capturas frescas a medida que los pescadores y compradores avanzan en el proceso en tiempo real. En los días que no son subastas, todavía obtendrá una visión detrás de escena de cómo se desembarcan, manipulan y preparan los mariscos para el mercado, junto con información sobre los sistemas que mantienen en funcionamiento la industria pesquera de Portland. Parada: negociación ISF Entra en ISF Trading, una instalación de procesamiento de mariscos en funcionamiento, para ver de forma práctica dónde se preparan y distribuyen algunos de los mariscos más frescos de Maine. Durante su visita, probará una selección de mariscos frescos y crudos mientras aprende sobre el abastecimiento, la estacionalidad y lo que hace que los mariscos de Maine sean tan apreciados.

Eric was a wonderful tour guide. If you want to learn more about Maine's fishing industry from an insider, this one's for you. The side quest to the Japanese processing facility was a real hidden gem. He patiently answered all of our questions and made this one of our favorite tours ever!
Tom gave an excellent tour. He took us on a very interesting tour learning about the waterfront and the fish industry, learning and seeing the process of how fish are caught and the process that gets them to our tables. A very unique and enjoyable stop for a bite to eat that fit in with the history of the waterfront. It ended with an enjoyable stop at a local pub to sample one of their fine ales. This tour is recommended.
Eric was very informative and showed his love of the area would highly recommend this tour
Thanks so much for the kind words! Having grown up here, Eric's knowledge and love for Portland are second to none, so we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with him. And to end the tour with some local chowder is even better!

I love history and this tour did not come up short. What an amazing journey through the Old Port and time! Our guide Pete painted a picture of the past that you could see in the existing buildings and roads. He answered questions (about the port history and dining recommendations), took time to get to know us, and made us feel as if we were walking through town with an old friend. P.S. his dining recommendations did not disappoint

Excellent tour! Explored the wharf and surrounding area. Eric, our guide grew up and worked in the area. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared stories as well as facts. The seafood tasting at the end of the tour was a highlight. As a side note I accidentally left something at the meeting/ending site. They went above and beyond making sure i knew I left it and keeping it safe until I was able to return. Well run tour organizers! Would tour with them again
