We arrived by cruiseship on 10/20/2012. I reserved 2 seats on the Trolley tour online thru the Discovery Tours website. There was a shuttle available to take us to pick up our tickets and catch the trolley. It was a very foggy day but we still managed to see alot & our tour guide Bramps was very funny & informative.... More

We took the 1.5 hour trolley tour of Portland, ME and loved it! It was a wonderful way to get a glimpse of the city and a history lesson of the city. We had a great tour driver and guide, Brambz. Following the trolley tour we added the Lighthouse Lovers boat tour of 7 lighthouses in the bay. It was... More

I loved our tour guide Questionable Doug! He was fabulous! He was so knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time! I had been I think most all the other tours and if I had to pick one to recommend it would be this one ! I learned so much from him. Now I know that when you go on a... More

If you want to see the highlights of Portland, don't miss this tour. It is inexpensive and you get a comprehensive view of the city. Our guide was Scott and if you take this tour, do your best to get him. He was very friendly and funny - my side hurt from laughing after we got off the trolley! It... More

The tour itself was great. We learned a lot about lighthouses, lobsters, and the history of Portland. We even got to see a seal.... More

Have been visiting the Portland area for years for business but rarely had a chance to see all it had to offer. We went for a long weekend and decided to take the Land and Sea tour. We did the trolley tour one day and the sea tour on the next - that worked out to be ideal. We had... More

On September 18, 2012, my group of 52 passengers toured Portland, Maine, with Portland Discovery, when Carnival Glory docked at Portland, Maine. I arranged the tour with Jake Charette, Portland Discovery manager, including pick up and drop off at the pier. We took the 90 minute cruise around Casco Bay at 9:30 AM, went to lunch on the Wharf, and... More

I've found that discovery tours depend on the knowledge and delivery of the person giving the information. The lady really knew her "stuff." I wish I had her name. She covered lots of ground including the Portland Head Lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth. I was amazed by the history of Portland and the beautiful Victorian mansions still housing only one family!... More
