This was a fun and informative tour. We learned so much about Portland, Maine. Our guide, Eric, is a Portland native who is well versed in local history.
So glad to hear that you had a fun time on the Lighthouse Tour! As a true local, Eric's knowledge and affinity for Portland maritime history are second to none, and we know how much he enjoys showing all the sights. There's a lot more to explore around here, so we hope to see you again soon!
Excellent tour!!! Eric, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the entire area plus answered all our questions. Would definitely do this again and highly recommend it to others.
We're so happy to hear that you had a good time on the tour with Eric! He has such an affinity for Portland's maritime history, and his knowledge is second to none. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to see you again soon!
Great tour to learn about Portland and lighthouses. Small size group with engaging and knowledgeable guide. Eric was excellent!
Thanks so much for joining us on the Lighthouse Tour! With Eric having grown up in Portland he has such a depth of knowledge for Portland's history and maritime facts, and he just loves showing everyone the sights. We're glad you had fun!
This tour was great. Pete W. Is an amazing guide. All four of us loved it! Highly recommend.
We're so glad to see that you had a great time on the tour! Pete is so great at highlighting Portland's rich coastal history and we knows how much he enjoys getting folks out to see the sights. Thanks for joining us!
Pick up was smooth, Sam was our driver and he was very sweet, nice calm driver. And I'm a nervous passenger so he was perfect! Everything was ontime. Everything was as it read it would be. We loved the first stop, scenery and the beach was beautiful. Kennenbunkport was such a nice spot - literally a tourist street with boutiques and so on, a pretty neighborhood just up the road from the shops that one couple on our tour walked round. Lunch in Portland was nice, enough time to casually eat and walk if off after. By the time we got to the lighthouse we were pooped - this was our 3rd tour in 3 days so yes we were tired. We spent 5 minutes walking round the lighthouse then got an ice cream and sat on a bench just enjoying the view. Glad we took the tour, it was nice to drive up the coast and stop and see a few different places and we loved driving thought the little towns, wouldn't have seen those if we took a train.
We're so glad to hear you had a good time in Maine! Because we don't run public tours in Kennebunkport, nor do we have a driver named Sam, I am wondering if this was meant for another business. However, we do provide plenty of fun tours in Portland and can do private tours further south, so if you find yourself in Maine again we'd love to see you!
Easy going, see a lot, learn a lot. Highly recommended for travelers in Portland, Maine area! Just do it!
Thanks so much for joining us on the lighthouse cruise! We're so happy to hear that you had a good time, and we know how much our guides enjoy showcasing Portland's rich waterfront history. We hope to see you on a tour again sometime soon!
Derek and Zack greeted us at the meeting location as we got settled in. Both are super friendly and down to earth. Derek was our guide, and he was super informative, funny and laid-back. Great to have someone local to share experiences and history throughout the tour. My wife and daughter loved the tour as well, and we had tons of great pictures. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Portland's history and culture are truly exceptional, and we're honored to be able to share it on our tours. There's so much more to explore here, so we hope to see you again sometime soon. Thanks for joining us!
Wonderful tour of very interesting sights. Local guide was informative and friendly. Very much recommended this tour.
We're so happy to hear that you had a good time on the tour! Portland's history and culture are so unique and we're incredibly proud to be able to highlight them. There's a lot to do here, so we hope you consider another tour if you find yourself in the neighborhood!
John was so funny and friendly! He struck the perfect balance between chatting with us and giving us space to explore and the tour itself is the perfect length. You hit three gorgeous spots in about 90 minutes and you even get a complimentary 5 oz beer pour with every ticket. Highly recommend!
We're so thrilled to hear that you had a great time on the Lighthouse Tour! Our landscape and history are truly remarkable, and we know how much our guides love talking about them. John's one of the best in the game at keeping things informative yet fun, so we're happy to hear you had a good time with him. Hope to see you on a tour next time you're in town!
Four people registered for the experience. While John was driving, he shared interesting and historic information about Portland and the three lighthouses we visited. At each lighthouse, we were given time to take take pictures, explore the grounds, stretch our legs, and ask John questions. John was very knowledgeable, engaging and fun!
Thank you so much for the kind words, and we're so happy to see that you had a great time with John on the Lighthouse Tour! We're beyond thankful to have him on our team. Balancing the knowledge and the engagement is his forte. There's a lot more to do in the area, so we hope to see you on another tour next time you're in the area!
