This was a really fun trip. The boat traveled around the Portland area. It showcased the forts and the lighthouses. Very interesting and fun.
We arrived in Portland on an unusually hot June day -- It was in the high 80s. I admit we picked the Discovery Boat Tour as a way to escape the heat (it's about 15 degrees cooler on the water). It turned out to be...More
Such a wonderful and informative tour. A relaxing time and loved the gelato stop along w the light House. Peter was an excellent guide and was so sweet to my young daughter!More

One thing I've learned...you can't visit a major city without a tour. So glad we chose this one! Peter was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Learned a lot about the city especially the 3 major fires. I would highly recommend this...More

Glad you enjoyed the land and sea tours! When scheduling the two tours, its up to you whether you want to do the tours back to back, but we do offer later tour times to allow for time to explore the city, as you did....More
The boat we were on was very nice. We loved our top-deck seat. Passengers are free to move around the boat during the tour. We took the 90-min lighthouse tour, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish for a good price. This...More

We booked the tour to learn more about the city and its history. It certainly is a must-do in Portland! We did the quick 60 minute trolley tour and learned more about the city and saw more than we certainly would have on our own....More
Glad you enjoyed the tour! Our Peek at Portland tour (the 60 minute trolley tour) is great for people to be able to learn as much about the city in as little time as possible. Hope to see you back in Portland again!
We took three tours with Portland Discovery tours, a trolley tour of Portland City and the lighthouse lovers cruise and a Sunset Cruise. The Sunset Cruise was definitely my favorite. The people are very nice and I would highly recommend this touring company.
Thank you for your nice review, we're glad you enjoyed the tours! The Sunset cruise is a favorite to many. Maine's sunsets are something to behold and we're glad you got a chance to experience it during your visit here in Portland.
You learn so much when you get to a new city when you do a tour. We did this trolley tour in the morning and then their boat tour in the afternoon. It was perfect. Great guides and a very good welcoming phone operator who...More
Thank you for joining us, so glad you enjoyed the land and sea tour! It's a cool experience to view Portland not only by walking through its streets but by sea as well.
An informative yet relaxing cruise around Portland. The Islander is a very clean ship and was expertly piloted. It has interior and exterior viewing areas. Our guide provided details on everything from lobster pots to forts and lighthouses. During our cruise we saw osprey, 2...More
