Overview

Welcome to my hometown! Hop aboard for an authentic 1 hour and 45 minute historical sightseeing tour of Portland, Maine and 3 lighthouses with an experienced guide who is a real local, born and raised in Portland, Maine. Get an insider’s look at the current happenings and rich history of my hometown. We’ll go where other tours go, and then I'll take you places other tours don't - you'll see hidden gems and learn little known facts about Portland and the great state of Maine that only a real local knows! As a college librarian I'm always researching the hidden history of Portland, while at the same time keeping on top of what's new in town and visiting as many local establishments that I can. I take pride in representing this city, and providing an informative and entertaining tour, delivered with a true Mainer's sense of humor. This is The Real Portland Tour! Check my website for a complete listing of tour days, times, and availability.

It was a great tour with an amazing guide. I have been to Portland at least twice a year for 20 years and I learned so much on this tour.

Guide was very knowlegeable and had a great sense of humor

Guide drove us around portland, stopping to visit 3 lighthouses. He added a spin of humor to the mix and gave us recommendations for places to eat

I wish there was more than 5 stars as an option

Derek is the best tour guide I have ever had. He knows so much about the area that only comes with having family ties for many generations. He made it fun, and a learning experience at the same time. We explored the whole city in a couple hours.

Worth it

Neat little tour. Lighthouses were pretty and the tour through the city was interesting. Headlight lighthouse makes the tour totally worth it. Derek loves his city and it shows. Nice job!
