Such a fun tour! Even as a native Mainer, I still learned a bunch. This was a great way to see a lot of different places without worrying about parking, etc. Bruce and Tim were fun, and made the tour really informative. Even my teenage son thought it was great!

It was an excellent way to see the whole city and learn about the history. Would definitely not have appreciated the city of Portland without it. Liked being able to get out and walk around the lighthouse

They will have a scenic and informative ride about the history of Portland and surroundings as well as current local preferences in food, favorites, entertainment, recreational activities and visit a lighthouse. You will be provided with a wealth of useful information that will most likely enhance the time management and quality of your stay.

The tour was hard to hear the driver, he was complaining more about the drivers and pedestrians than the history of Portland. Told us to stop talking do he could because people pay to hear him talk.
Gwenn_H, Jun 2026
We enjoyed our tour of Portland. Our driver was very informative about all the points of interest we passed on the tour. The tour gave us enough time to explore the lighthouse without feeling rushed.

Jane_W, Jun 2026
The tram driver/tour guide made the trip enjoyable by her vast knowledge of Portland and safe/secure by her driving skills in a very changeling city traffic wise. I enjoyed every aspect of the tour and highly recommend it.
Dana_H, Jun 2026
Sit by an open window for air but close to front of trolly to hear driver. Would be 5 star but driver needs a mic for back rows to hear better.
Kristi_G, Jun 2026
This was absolutely perfect! Our guides were very knowledgeable and the seats were comfortable. The tour was full but not crowded. We learned so much about the history of the islands and of course the wildlife. 5 stars!
Elaine_L, Jun 2026
The driver/tour guide on trolley #510 did a great job. He was knowledgeable and provided us good information for city of Portland. Since he spent a lot of time on the city ride, we kind of ran out of time and only had 15 minutes on visiting the Lighthouse. I would be happier if I had 30 minutes as mentioned on the tour schedule on visiting the Lighthouse. Anyway, I still enjoyed the tour and highly recommended it.
ANN_B, Jun 2026

Typical city tour - enjoyed our driver and tour guide / nice of them to give rides back to ship/ and to other wanted stops
Gayle_T, Jun 2026
We loved our trolley tour with Barry! Great overview of the city with a guy who truly loves it. The views were amazing!
james_c, Jun 2026
Awful. No real or accurate historical info. Go with the fire truck tour company. It's way better with historical stops and accurate in depth history facts explained at every stop.
Paula_G, Jun 2026
We had so much fun. We learned so much. Our tour guide was the best!!! I can’t wait to visit again. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Beth_C, Jun 2026
I had really high hopes as we always start a trip to a new city either a trolley tour to learn the area. What I did not expect was the driver to constantly push his books he writes and points out things of no consequence to us on the trolley. I wanted to learn more history.
Jill_B, Jun 2026
Very nice tour. Our guide/driver grew up in Portland and had great perspective about the area as well as many interesting stories to tell.
The light house is beautiful and I would say Portland is a very nice place to visit. Wish we had more time there.
