5.00Really a great way to see Portland and learn the history of the area. The guide was very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Grab a seat inside as it gets cold on the upper deck early.

5.00Excellent tour of the harbor and lighthouses. The crew was great and knowledgeable about the history of Portland. It can get cold and windy out on the water so make sure you pack a windbreaker or sweatshirt.

3.00Prior to departure I inquired on my ticket saying what's included. The bar and snack was checked saying it was included in the pricing. Mark the bartender stated it was false advertisement from trip advisors site. Stating that you have to pay for the bar and snacks while on the trip. This is false advertisement and misleading in what's included on the excursion trip.
