Chuck our food tour guide was very knowledgeable and so friendly! He knew so much about the city and all of our stops were exceptionally great!!!
The places we visited were great examples of local restaurants and small businesses. The food was excellent.
Make sure you are hungry when you start. You will be full when the tour is over. Also good walking shoes are a must, there is some uneven streets.
I really enjoyed our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable on not only the food but Maine. The food stops were good. My favorite was the clam chowder stop. Recommend if you’d like some history and you’d bites.
Loving the seafood. Good sized helpings. Great way to find places to visit again. Great tour guide, too!
The tour guide was very friendly and had everything arranged in advance so we had a great time and covered a lot of historical information.
This is a strolling tour. Our guide was wonderful. There is no plain good. Skip the tacos. Andy's Old Port is funky and the people are abrasive. Other places people were welcoming and delightful.
Schedule this for your first day in Portland! You won’t regret it! Kim not only had a wealth of historical knowledge, but shared lots of great insights about food and activities in the Portland area. The food tastings were excellent and we were quite full by the end of the tour. Between Kim’s advice and chatting with other tour members- we quickly filled in the blanks of how we wanted to spend our long weekend enjoying Portland! Highly recommended.
Come hungry! Numerous dishes at normal portions. Good walking tour of the port area with great history
Pete was a great tour guide. He told us so many fun facts about Portland the food was fantastic. You also were able to sample some of the local beers. Great experience
Awesome tour with tons of food and interesting information. Pete, our tour guide was amazing. Deep knowledge of the area but was not overbearing or too “jokey”.
We had an amazing time on this tour
We would highly recommend. We had a a fish taco, Chowder, a Lobster Roll, Ice Cream and some excellent chocolate. Pete was a great guide, both friendly and knowledgeable. 5 Stars!
Come hungry! We ate so much wonderful food actually very full before we were even done! Chuck gave us lots of great info and kept it interesting with some personal stories!
Ray was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and personable. I’d do the tour again just for him. I learned so many new things regarding the history of food and Portland.

Highly recommend! Foodies, history buffs, and anyone looking for an authentic and fun way to explore Portland beyond the usual tourist spots. It's a great activity to do early in your trip to get your bearings and discover some fantastic local flavors. We discovered local eateries that I never would have found on my own. The tour was well-paced, allowing us time to enjoy the food and the atmosphere without feeling rushed. The amount of walking was comfortable and the amount of food we ate exceeded my expectations! Ray was our tour guide, and he was a fantastic storyteller, sharing rich histories of the neighborhood and connecting the food to the area's diverse cultural influences. His passion for the food and the history of Portland, Maine was infectious. If there is one activity to book while visiting, its this!
Perfect combination of history and the most delicious local cuisine. This was the second walking tour with Anne during our vacation in Portland. Again, our expectations were exceeded. Simply excellent.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed your tour with AJ and found his knowledge and recommendations helpful. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you on another tour soon!
Marcia was the best guide ever. While the tour was pricey by the end I felt like it was a good value. We had craft beers at two locations, fish taco, choice of chowders, full sized lobster roll, hand dipped chocolates and finished off with ice cream. Marcia provided lots of history of the area and the process of trapping lobster. We were a small group of 4 so it made the tour very intimate. Loved it!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Sounds like Marcia delivered the full Maine experience: history, lobster lore, and a progressive feast that could make a food critic weep with joy. By the end, you basically had your own private VIP lobster-and-beer club! We’re so glad you felt it was worth every delicious bite (and sip). Thanks for letting us spoil you!
Everything was wonderful, from the guide to the food!! Definitely recommend this tour for you!! It will not disappoint.

Food was delicious and AJ was fantastic and we enjoyed it so much. The history given about the city was also very interesting
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you for your 5-star review! We will pass along your kind words to AJ!
AJ was amazing. She was knowledgeable and entertaining. The food was the personification of Portland. Highly recommended.
AJ was a delightful tour guide, and we were treated to delicious local treats — Allagash special beer to kick off the morning, haddock tacos (who knew? How yummy!), the area’s best chowder, as well as a great suggestion from AJ — try the local coffee flavored brandy! Which was great too, especially added to half cream on ice. Visiting the Harbor fish market showed us what all the freshest fish and seafood looked like before it ever gets onto your plate, and AJ shared a lot about the harvesting and life cycle of those lobsters in the tank.
EXCELLENT! Our guide AJ was so knowledgeable and friendly. She taught us so much! We learned many things about lobsters, scallops, and so many other fish along with a fisherman‘s daily tasks. We also ate many very delicious items. Highly recommend!
This was a great way to experience some of Portland’s wonderful restaurants. Timothy shared a lot of his passion for Maine and made the tour interesting
Very enjoyable tour. The food was fantastic and Ray our guide made us feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable of the food and restaurants of Portland!
Ross was very knowledgeable and showed us a lot of history. He gave us a lot of knowledge on what to see and where to eat as we didn’t have a lot of time there. We will definitely be back.
