Very informative, good tour. - Did this trip from Cruise Ship, nice & close to port so couldn’t get lost. It was very interesting with great driver & tour guide. Both very easy to talk to & informative all in her head for one so young. Good length tour with lots to see. Saw all areas of Portland. Especially enjoyed trip over to South Portland to Fort William Park to see the Lighthouse & sea views. Ice Cream there was delicious. Lovely trolley bus with open sides allowing some breeze through on such a hot day.
