This is a fairly new company that started tours in January, 2019. They did an excellent job. We were called the day before to confirm our attendance and on the day of the tour they called to verify the meeting point. While waiting, they called again to indicate a slight change in the pick-up location due to crowds. The new location was only a short walk and we were greeted with bottles of cold water. The van is brand new and very comfortable with clean windows so pictures could be taken. We had about 10 people in our group. We had a tour of the city and visited three lighthouses. We spent approximately 20-30 minutes at each location, plenty of time for photos. The driver and assistant were happy to take your photo with your camera. They assisted everyone in getting in and out of the van. The driver/guide grew up in a lobstering family so we learned a lot about lobsters. The overall tour length was about 2 hours and we were returned directly to our ship boarding location rather than the original pickup location which was great.

Lobster fisherman, native to the area, and one of the owners of this new business, was our tour guide. He was very informative, personable, and friendly. I highly recommend this tour. We learned about the area, lobsters and fishing for them. The scenery was beautiful. It was a great tour.

Eric was a great guide. He is very pleasant and informative. Mario was with him. Another great guy. This is their first year but we are sure they will be very successful. Hard working and very hospitable. We definitely recommend them. We wish them much success.

My family very much enjoyed this tour during our port visit. Pickup location was a short walk from the cruise terminal. Eric was a very knowledge and enjoyable tour guide. Van was comfortable and air-conditioned. Since it was quite hot out, the cold bottles of water provided were appreciated. Highly recommended!

I liked this tour for the following reasons. 1: the touring van was comfortable with great air conditioning. I was offered a cold bottle of water and he had umbrellas if needed. I found that to be amazing. 2. Eric was funny and personable. He was knowledgeable about the city, especially about lobsters! 3: the tour stopped at the Head Light and left us there to wander around and see the sites for 45 minutes. That was very nice and saved me from having to go back on my own. 4: The tour stopped at another light house and we were able to walk around for a few minutes. Based on Eric’s recommendation, we found some great restaurants to eat at for a very good price. My only critique is I am not sure I learned much about Portland itself. There just wasn’t much information about architecture and city facts. I was tempted to take another city tour but noted most of them were under an hour so perhaps there isn’t much more to tell about Portland. I would recommend the tour. It was a great price especially for all the amenities.
