Great tour, great food, highly recommend as a first stop! - Timothy was an amazing tour guide! He is a local of Portland, Maine and offered amazing history, sight seeing suggestions, and personalized stories that solidified a great overall picture of Maine. He readily answered questions and was excited to share his expertise at various stops outside just the food locations. At each food location he offered great background, personal suggestions, and rational for the food selections. Timothy gave us a great experience!

Great intro to Portland cuisine. - It was a quintessential Maine food tour, including chowder (several choices), a fresh haddock taco, a taste of the famous Holy Donuts, a lobster roll, and local ice cream. Our guide, AJ, was great. She's very knowledgeable, gave us a "show-and-tell" with a live lobster, and treated each of us to a raw oyster. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Food Tour- worth it! - Tour was great. Typical mix of history and restaurants but also legit background on food industry in Maine and Portland. Guide AJ was great. She listened to everyone’s likes/dislikes and worked around them but also challenged people despite their food history biases.
