I lived in Portland at the time and took the tour with friends who were visiting from the midwest. The novelty cannot be beat as far as Portland tours go. The land/sea adventure and unique ride vehicles are worth the experience once. Our driver was funny and had his script down well, I'm guessing he was at least somewhat of... More

My husband and I had been to Portland before, but we never really knew the town until we went on this entertaining tour of the City. We saw museums, restaurants, architectural designs, learned history, and enjoyed the beauty of the bay. The guide was hilarious and shared his knowledge of the City to us in a very entertaining way. Very... More

Take one "modern" version of a WWII DKW or "DUCK" anphibious troop transporter, two classy and sassy ladies to drive it and tell you about Portland, Maine, ADD a bright warm and sunny summer New England day and you have the near perfect combination for a great time. You get to learn the secrets and gossip of the small city... More

The tour guide provided a fun and lively narration with a good blend of humor and quick wit that had us all 'quacking-up' with chuckles and laughter...appropriate for all ages! The rich... More
