Come hungry! Numerous dishes at normal portions. Good walking tour of the port area with great history
Pete was a great tour guide. He told us so many fun facts about Portland the food was fantastic. You also were able to sample some of the local beers. Great experience
Awesome tour with tons of food and interesting information. Pete, our tour guide was amazing. Deep knowledge of the area but was not overbearing or too “jokey”.
We had an amazing time on this tour We would highly recommend. We had a a fish taco, Chowder, a Lobster Roll, Ice Cream and some excellent chocolate. Pete was a great guide, both friendly and knowledgeable. 5 Stars!
Fun tour about Portland and lobsters. It’s more of a 3 hour eating tour than a 3 hour walking tour. Total distance walked must be only 4 or 5 blocks; many very good Portland restaurants close to each other down by the wharf area. Our tour presented 6 mini-sampling courses at different restaurants tied together with food and history commentary.
Come hungry! We ate so much wonderful food actually very full before we were even done! Chuck gave us lots of great info and kept it interesting with some personal stories!

We had an amazing experience with Timothy for our small group of 6 people. The selection of locations was perfect - the best lobster roll I could imagine! More importantly the depth of knowledge that Timothy has as a native of Maine can't be understated. His stories about the history and geography of the region were impactful and made us want to come back to explore more.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your group had such a memorable experience with Timothy. It’s fantastic that the food, especially the lobster rolls, and his deep knowledge of Maine’s history and geography made the tour so special. We’d love to welcome you back for another Maine Day Ventures adventure whenever you’re ready to explore more!
