Excellent small group tour of Portland with a visit to 3 lighthouses. Good value for money. Comfortable minivan. Easy to find pickup place which was within walking distance of the port. Eric, our driver guide was very knowledgeable and a careful driver. Minimal amount of walking involved - good for people with mobility issues. Would definitely recommend this company

Eric, a Portland native, was an excellent guide. He gave us a history as we toured the town and went to the lighthouses. We loved that he offered to take pictures for us and was willing to answer any questions. We appreciated the small tour size and the fact that it accommodated a rolling walker. Would highly recommend and we would definitely do this or another of his tours again
