Could not hear most of the tour. Sat in the back. Additional speakers in the back woukd make a big improvement
Very nice short and simple tour of the city. Perfect amount of time at the might house. Nice way to spend a morning.
Great history of Portland. Take this trip the first day to get ideas of what to do. We enjoyed it very much.
We had a great experience, our tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Very enjoyable tour, learned a lot... We had perfect weather, loved the lobster.....................
Wendy was an excellent guide funny and knowledgeable. She was very attentive and kind.
The tournament guide gave a very enjoyable and colorful narration of the cities history . Wish we could auve walked up the lighthouse though.
This was one of the best tours that I have been on. Perhaps it was the knowledge of the driver Wendy Lee. She was excellent! She knows so much info on Portland and its history.
Awesome tour of the city with great descriptions from our tour guide.
This tour was very educational and fun mainly because of Wendy the Trolley Driver and Narrator. You could tell she loved her job! She was so enthusiastic and very funny. This tour gives you a great way to see the city and one lighthouse. I recommend it highly.
