Eric was full of information, answered questions and showed lots of enthusiasm for his town as well as us. He was helpful allowing us to wait inside the Beer Hub till everyone assembled and the van was comfortable. The large screen in the van was helpful & we could all hear well. It was an excellent tour with lots of suggestions for the rest of our day too. Bravo Eric!

Portland Lighthouse tour was awesome. Warm clean van. Water bottles are provided. Just perfect. Great suggestions for lobster lunch afterwards. Very small group. Easy walk from cruise port too.
