Bruce is a great tour guide! He knows history of the lighthouses and Greater Portland in detail and tells it in stories that are breathtaking and fascinating. He has also plenty of fun facts to talk about. A must do tour with Bruce and Jack the driver.

Bruce and Jack were amazing. It’s a quick 2hr tour. It’s wonderful and full of information.. it’s especially perfect if you aren’t a boat person or it’s a bit chilly like it was the day we went. There’s plenty to see and Bruce knows his stuff!
Learned a lot!

Amazing tour! We saw and learned about how the lighhouses, forts and shipyards played a crucial role for Portland during crucial times. Had Jack and Bruce as our guides, they were great! Really recommend taking this tour!
