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!

5.00Delightful and informative tour guide/owner, Derek. I learned so much in 2 hours about Portland ME. Definitely a value for the experience. The group size was perfect, van was clean, and Dad jokes hilarious. We had just the right amount of time to visit each lighthouse. I would recommend this tour!

5.00Great experience! Derek was very knowledgeable and personable. He kept it funny and interesting while diving and driving into Portlands history. Would like to do any tour with him... very smart guy. He gave us all kinds of follow up literature to check out too! The van is roomy and comfortable. I was worried an 90 minutes wouldn't be long enough but it was perfect!
