Had a blast on the tour. Easy to find the start point and Eric was texted to make sure everyone knew. Great history and stories, fun time all around. I’d definitely take this or another one by him again.

Well spent 2.5 hrs on a good mix and sights and history. Eric did an awesome job of giving enough info about Portland while sharing his family’s own roots with the area. We really enjoyed our time on this tour!

Eric was a great tour guy. Being a local he had great and interesting things to share about Portland, Maine. The van was in pristine condition and love the photos displayed on the van’s tv screen of all the places we were visiting.

This was our first visit to Portland, and Eric’s knowledge of the area and its history made the tour an invaluable experience. It was nice that we were able to walk around on our own at several of the stops. I recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Portland for the first time.
