We truly enjoyed this experience as a first time in Portland, ME. We got a good bit of history mixed in with some delicious lobster rolls! The local guide, Kris, is very knowledgeable about the area with wonderful insights and suggestions. We will be back with kids next time!

Kris was an excellent tour guide who gave me a great lay of the land and interesting historical info. You try 2 different lobster rolls at 2 different places totaling to 4 which makes you pretty full. Don't be fooled by size of these rolls! Great dishes, great company (I was on a solo tour with only the tour guide to keep me company, and just a great time overall.
