Eastern Promenade
The Eastern Promenade stretches along the eastern edge of the Portland peninsula, overlooking Casco Bay. It is easily accessible from downtown Portland and is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. The park features a picturesque waterfront promenade that runs parallel to the shoreline, offering unobstructed views of the bay and its islands. Visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas of sailboats, fishing boats, and ferries navigating the waters, as well as views of nearby lighthouses and coastal landmarks.
2
Portland Observatory
The Portland Observatory is situated on Munjoy Hill, providing panoramic views of Portland Harbor, Casco Bay, and the surrounding coastline. The hillside location offers a strategic vantage point for observing maritime activities and signaling incoming ships. Built in 1807 by Captain Lemuel Moody, the Portland Observatory is the only known remaining maritime signal tower in the United States. It was constructed as a private enterprise to provide a communication system for merchants and shipowners to track approaching vessels and facilitate trade in Portland's busy harbor.
3
Western Promenade Park
Similar to the Eastern Promenade, the Western Promenade offers stunning views of Casco Bay, with vistas of islands, sailboats, and coastal landscapes. The park's elevated position provides sweeping views of the surrounding area, making it a popular spot for sightseeing and photography. The Western Promenade is home to several historic landmarks and monuments, including the Western Cemetery, a historic burial ground dating back to the early 19th century. Visitors can explore the cemetery's picturesque grounds and learn about Portland's history through its gravestones and memorials. It is also home to historic mansions formally occupied by Portland's elite.

Portland Head Light
Situated on the rocky coastline of Cape Elizabeth, Portland Head Light overlooks Casco Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The lighthouse is part of Fort Williams Park, which offers stunning views of the surrounding coastline and nearby islands. Portland Head Light has a rich history dating back to 1791 when it was commissioned by George Washington and became Maine's oldest lighthouse. The original keeper's quarters still stand nearby, offering insights into the life of a lighthouse keeper during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Wedding Cake House
Once called the "most photographed house in the state" of Maine, the Wedding Cake House, known formally as the George W. Bourne House. George was a prominent ship builder and businessman that had grown up in the house next door which is now the Waldo Emerson Inn. His father built the federal brick house as a wedding present for George and his new bride Jane in 1825. The “icing” was added 26 years later starting in 1852 after a fire destroyed the barn.

Pam was an incredible guide. She was professional, kind, accommodating and a delightful person to spend the day with. Our departure from our cruise ship was delayed an hour, but she waited for us and adjusted our tour to make the most of our available time. We saw the Bush compound in Kennebunkport and she took us to the best restaurant for lunch. Best Clam Chowder we had ever had. She showed us many sites and areas that were special. She could not have provided a more perfect day for us. I would recommend her to anyone and the company, Maine Day Trips, is very responsive and will make your tour memorable. I will use them again when in the area.

Thank you so much. Pam is a Maine Rock Star in my opinion! You learned first hand why I continue to offer private tours. We can be flexible and make the day about you. Thank you again for posting and please let any friends know that we will take care of them in Portland, ME.

Our cruise had a stop in Portland, Maine and we wanted to customize a tour for my wife and I to visit old haunts and for the couple with us to get a guided tour of the area. I had vacationed in the area when I was younger and we later vacationed in Maine with our children as well but had not been back in several decades. I recognized that while I knew the area, I knew little of the history of the area. We were fortunate to have Pam as our guide for this private tour for the two couples. She is a lifelong resident of the area and extremely knowledgeable of the history. While my wife and I had seen some of the sights we visited with Pam (and in fact asked to visit several places not normally included on tours) Pam filled in the blanks with the stories and the history of each sight we visited, starting with Portland proper and the Portland Headlight. We then ventured along the coast to see Scarborough, Higgins Beach and Pine Point - all requested former haunts). We went as far as Kennebunk and Kennebunkport to see the towns and Walker’s Point with lunch at a recommended restaurant in Kennebunkport before returning to Portland. Since I am familiar with the area and now know how little I really knew about it, I can state that Pam knows it better than we could have ever anticipated and was downright pleasant and entertaining in educating us. Highly recommend this private and flexible tour and Pam as your tour guide.

Thank you so much for this review. Pam called me personally to tell me how much she enjoyed taking all of you around on your trip! If you make it back to Maine, please reach out and we'll take you up the Midcoast!

We took the tour with Don and Bruce. They did a great job. They are both so knowledgeable and fun. We saw some beautiful and quaint villages. The tour was spaced out with enough stops and enough time with each stop to enjoy the area. I would highly recommend this tour. Our group of 10 had a great time.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are lucky to have both Don and Bruce. We have a tough task of finding another Bruce as he is retiring at years end. Thank you again for entrusting in us for your tour.
