Fabulous trip. The guides Scott and Molly were the best! The weather was perfect and the 15 mile bike ride was so beautiful. It was a wonderful way to see the sights of Portland and take pictures of the lighthouses. They also were very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Portland and the state of Maine. We also had the BEST lobster roll ever!!!! I definitely would recommend this excursion.

This was a great easy to moderate ride to the 5 lighthouses. Loved the views and the guides provided a lot of information and trivia along the way. The lobster roll was a tremendous capper to the tour.

The tour included a few more hills and cycling on the road than I anticipated but the tour guides made sure that everyone was comfortable and had a good time.

Nice bikes and great guides. However, Viator stated maximum of 8 riders. Tour actually had 14 which was the 8 signed up using Viator combined with others that signed up directly with the bike tour company.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Larry, thanks for taking the tour. Sadly, we have had problems with Viator modifying our listings with inaccurate information. We feel that a group of 14 with two guides is a good size.

Dan was a great guide. He told us a lot about the WW2 history of the area. We covered a lot of miles and were able to see several lighthouses and different areas around Portland. Well worth our time!
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Molly was our guide and she did a wonderful job of planning the route we took around Portland. Went to 3 lighthouses and rode through some beautiful neighborhoods.
The lobster roll we had was amazing. Packed full of lobster and Molly had molasses cookies for a nice treat. I will say you need to be in pretty good shape to take this trip. 15 miles round trip, and there were several hills and 1 bridge we had to climb. Nothing crazy, but more than a few times I felt my legs burning. Overall it was a great way to see Portland and its beauty up close.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks for joining us. I'm glad you enjoyed the scenery and the food.

This was a wonderful bike tour with a total of 5 people including us and the guide! Our guide, Dan, was excellent! The pace was perfect for two very active people. The lobster roll was delicious. We biked just over 17 miles on the tour.

The bike tour was a highlight of our trip! It was wonderful way to explore the city and learn a little history while seeing the main lighthouses. The best part of the tour was our guide, Lauren. Lauren was personable, professional, and knowledgeable! This is a must do activity and request Lauren when booking!

This was such a fun trip. Rick was an outstanding guide - telling us about Portland history and answering our questions. We rode about 18 miles with frequent stops and a beautiful lunch stop with an excellent lobster roll.

Thanks Carl

It was the end of season so bikes were a little tired so one star removed. Otherwise a fabulous 5 star tour. Art and Molly were great tour guides. Art is super knowledgeable about Portland and we learned some neat things along the way. Seeing the 3 lighthouses up close was great with the others in distance. The lobster roll was delicious and the surprise cookies were yummy too. I'm not going to spoil what they were. All in all a great tour that I highly recommend.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you. Yes, it is the last week of the season, and the bike will be replaced next season.
Glorianne_O, Oct 2024

We had a marvelous experience. The group of 9 riders was magnificent, and our guide, Scott, made for the perfect group of ten. I loved the stops we made at the lighthouses. The lunch was as advertised and delicious. The bike riding had a great mix of road, hill, and flat. My husband and I do not ride bikes on a regular basis, so the tour was just right. Thanks to Scott and the group, the day was a success!

Even with a little rain during parts, it was a great time. The guide was very nice and fun with good information. There is some riding on the road but it’s not bad and most riding is on the greenway which is great. The lobster rolls in the park by one of the lighthouses was a fun experience.

Great way to see the coast. Emma and Rick were wonderful guides. Lobster roll was delicious. The pace was slow and the bikes were good quality but I'm going to feel it tomorrow! All in, about 15 miles of biking.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you
Kathie_F, Aug 2024
The tour was perfect! We cycled by the coast to the lighthouses and saw breathtaking views. Scott our guide was awesome! He made sure we were safe in downtown areas and even asked if we wanted to take extra time for a gorgeous view look back at all the lighthouses we saw. When we stopped to eat at Portland Head Light ( delicious lobster rolls included) he shook out a buffalo check tablecloth for the table and finished off the meal with dessert!!
Definitely go if you have the time you won’t be disappointed!

Cheryl_P, Jul 2024
The description is misleading. You only visit 3 lighthouses not 5. Scott our guide was great. We saw some beautiful sights. The lobster roll was delish!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Yes, some of the lighthouses are offshore and cannot be reached without a boat
Emily_g, Jul 2024
Such a great experience! Our tour guide was sunshine in a bottle. She was so knowledgeable and kind. I really enjoyed the lobster roll and the lighthouses!
