5.00It's an open air fire truck so dress warm if it's a cooler day and a little bumpy. Great guide and very informative. Really enjoyed it. I would recommend it especially fun for families.

5.00On our trip to coastal Maine, we stopped at the visitors center to get some suggestions for interesting things to do there. The woman who we spoke to there recommended this. We were so glad we took the tour. It was reasonably priced and our tour guides were amazing. It took just over an hour and we got a wonderful overview of Portland including all of its famous sites and a comprehensive history of the city. Well worth including in our visit to this beautiful coastal gem!
Fun learning experience
