This tour is a must see. Great tour guide with fantastic information and knowledge of the area. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone
Worth every penny. Driver was extremely knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed. I added many more places I want to go
Wendy our guide was knowledgeable and friendly! Lovely sights and educational ride in Portland
and the Portland Head lighthouse.
The tour guide was wonderful!! She was incredible and knowledgeable!! She made the tour so enjoyable!!
The trolley is open-sided so come prepared for the wind if you are lucky enough to still have hair. Other than that, this is an amazing and very informative tour. The lighthouse visit is a highlight for sure.
Excellent tour with exceptional driver and tour guide. Started and completed on time. Highly recommemded
The guide was very informative and had very good chemistry with the driver, who also provided interesting insights. We learned a lot and got to see much of the city. The length of time was perfect. Not too long, where you can lose interest, but long enough to learn a lot. I would highly recommend it.
Excellent tour and tour guide on the trolley. It was the perfect length of time since we were in port from a cruise, and a great way to learn about Portland. We had my parents with us (in their mid-80s) and worked well for them too!
Great, factual little tour. Lighthouse area was peaceful and photogenic. Small glitch with the manifest when we arrived ( no available seating) but the tour guides quickly remedied it
Steve, our guide, was a truly funny ( not cloying), knowledgeable guide. He did a small favor for us and we're very grateful.

Lots of information from Emily! Saw all over the city and got great historical background. Nice to have open windows for pictures.
We did the just shy of 2 hours trolley tour that gave quick highlights of the downtown Portland area along with 30 minutes at the Lighthouse. Tour guide/driver was good and seemed very knowledgeable along with having a solid sense of humor. We did have to hike a bit to the pick up spot roughly 1/2 mile from cruise ship port) from our cruise ship but did make it to the 9AM start. I thought for the 55ish dollar price tag each it was fine all things considered.
The driver of the trolley was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She was also very accommodating in dropping guests off closer to where their cruise ship was docked.
Our driver, Steve was very knowledgeable and entertaining! The sites were so interesting and historically significant!
Tour guides were super knowledgeable and friendly! Enjoyed the scenic views and learning all about Maine.
Well worth the money. The tour guide was great! Lots of history. Take the parking advice. Close parking is $10+ AN HOUR! Parking somewhere for free or flat rate and UBER into downtown. So much in walking distance.!
Tour was delightful and informative. Our guide made the tour fun. We also had plenty of time at the lighthouse.
Nice relaxing tour of the city of Portland and the light house. Our tour guide was informative and helpful.
Great option for a tour if you’re coming in on a cruise ship! About a 10-12 minute walk from the cruise terminal
Very informative and fantastic views around the city. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to tour around Portland.
This was an entertaining and informative tour of Portland. The driver, Steve, was born in Portland so he shared many stories and anecdotes about the city. Portland was so warm and inviting, we felt like we were home. This was an outstanding tour and we loved every minute of our time in Portland
Excellent trolley tour of Portland city and point lighthouse for two hours. Wendy was very informative! It's highly recommended and at a good price
Enjoyed this tour! Great for solo travelers! The tour guides were very informative, friendly, and helpful! I would definitely do this tour again.
Great Tour. Very informative, learned a lot. The guide was great and being on the water was perfect! Well worth the money.
Tour guide was great and good knowledge of history of Portland. The stop at the lighthouse was great. I just thought we would be seeing more lighthouses and beautiful Maine costline.
Great experience with Gary as our driver! The open-air trolly was a “breath of fresh air”! Would recommend!
This is a very fun informative for that takes you around the city and brings you out to a famous lighthouse we had a great time and if you're lucky enough to get wendy as your driver she is fantastic
This was a great way to see Portland and the Head light lighthouse! The guide was very knowledgeable and funny! We saw things we went to later to tour that we wouldn't have known about otherwise.
Highly recommended!
