Bus seats are a bit uncomfortable, and we only had a 1/2 open window, so it was warm and hard to see out of our smaller window. Otherwise, Barry was very informative for the Portland area! We got off for the lighthouse, stretched our legs, (yeah) and getting on again, we took a wide open window seat! The breeze was great!!
Perfect Portland Trolley!!!

A great way to hear the history and take in some sights in a short amount of time! We learned a lot about Portland. We were able to see my favorite lighthouse in person and grab an ice cream treat! Fun tour!
