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!

Derek was great - perfect blend of knowledge and humor regarding his hometown! Balancing his hometown pride with some small-town self-deprecation was spot on for these small town folks!

Awesome 2 hour tour. Derek was a wealth of information. This tour was perfect as it was a bit too chilly out and you had just enough time at each stop to explore and take photos. If you choose this tour make sure you ask Derek to do his rap song - all about Portland. He’s great at his job. Highly recommend.
