What To Expect
Eastern Promenade
The Eastern Promenade stretches along the eastern edge of the Portland peninsula, overlooking Casco Bay. It is easily accessible from downtown Portland and is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. The park features a picturesque waterfront promenade that runs parallel to the shoreline, offering unobstructed views of the bay and its islands. Visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas of sailboats, fishing boats, and ferries navigating the waters, as well as views of nearby lighthouses and coastal landmarks.
Portland Observatory
The Portland Observatory is situated on Munjoy Hill, providing panoramic views of Portland Harbor, Casco Bay, and the surrounding coastline. The hillside location offers a strategic vantage point for observing maritime activities and signaling incoming ships. Built in 1807 by Captain Lemuel Moody, the Portland Observatory is the only known remaining maritime signal tower in the United States. It was constructed as a private enterprise to provide a communication system for merchants and shipowners to track approaching vessels and facilitate trade in Portland's busy harbor.

1.00Our driver didn’t show up. I had no notice though he said he sent a text. He was sick and since we didn’t want to get sick I’m glad we didn’t go.

5.00We love private tours and find them to be well worth the extra expense as having it personalized and flexible is great. Our tour guide Steve did not disappoint. He was highly knowledgeable,informative and punctual. He even went out of his way to help us find a last-minute restaurant for our anniversary dinner that evening. Highly recommend.

5.00We had a great day with Don our private tour guide. We were hoping for a nice day taking in the beauty of coastal Maine and Don exceeded all or expectations! As a life long resident of Maine, he was able to share the history, geography, and his personal experiences! He was extremely knowledgeable on local stories such as York and its lighthouse, specifically the little baby being carried to the lighthouse and the Bush Compound and Churchill. Don took us to Barnacle Billy’s for lunch and the lobster rolls, service, cold draft beers, and atmosphere were all excellent! Our table had a beautiful water view and was centrally located 5 minutes out of downtown Ogunquit. We had time to shop in Kennebunkport and to take in the beautiful architecture including the wedding cake house! We also visited York Maine and Kennebunk! We really enjoyed spending the day with Don! Simply a fabulous day!!!
Fantastic private six hour tour of Portland and Kennebunkport

5.00The tour of Portland and Kennebunkport was excellent, relaxed, comprehensive, and absolutely beautiful. We were lucky to have Steve as our guide, and he was extremely knowledgeable, considerate, accommodating, organized, and pointed out so many places that were off the beaten path. We were picked up on time, even though we were almost an hour early getting off the ship. Steve was very easy to get a hold of and always answered his phone. We had a fantastic meal at the boathouse restaurant in Kennebunkport. We always had plenty of time to use the restroom, have free time to walk around and see the stores, as well as making sure that we hit all of the important sites. If you are considering a private tour of Portland and or Kennebunkport, this tour is absolutely for you and hopefully you will get Steve as your guide. Fantastic day, fantastic guide, fantastic tour!

5.00Steve our tour guide took us on a trip back in time. We had the most amazing time. Steve’s knowledge and attention to detail was impeccable. He made it perfectly clear that this tour was all about us and making sure we enjoyed the tour. At the end of the tour I realized two things. 1. That this tour had ingrained Maine as a destination that my family and myself would return to on a regular basis. 2. That I had made a true friend in Steve. Thank you sir…..
Great tour
