THIS TOUR WAS GREAT. THE NARRATOR WAS INFORMATIVE AND AMUSING. WE LAUGHED AT ALL THE JOKES ESPECIALLY HIS PHD JOKE. PORTLAND REALLY IS A NEW ENGLAND HIDDEN JEWEL. |

We enjoyed the tour and were able to decide from the tour the areas we would like to explore more thoroughly. However, due to low tide we were unable to return to land at the appropriate location. We took a 15-minute ride down the coast to another location and were able to return to land. While we enjoyed the extra water tour, we wondered what we may have missed during that 15 minutes we would have been on land. |

Not only is this fun it's a terrific value. You get to see Portland with new eyes and insights. Many fun facts, local interactions and the ocean ride is amazing.
DO THIS! |

I enjoyed the tour guide; he was really informative and knew about the city and the history. I was disappointed in the water tour was thinking we might be going to see a light house or seeing more of the fall colors on the tour on the land tour. We did get to see some of the older part of town and the older houses, which were really nice and ones you see in pictures of Maine. I would recommend if you want to hear the history of the town, but don't expect to see any lighthouses. The boat ride was nice and very interesting in going from land to the water. That part was fun!! |

It was ok but compared to the Portland Culinary Tour, it was a bit lack luster. I would suggest reducing the amount of 'quacking' way down when either there are no kids on board or the group doesn't seem into it. I would add more interesting facts about Portland and the surrounding Maine area, past and present, to flesh out what it was like to live there in the past and now. |

We thoroughly enjoyed the Duck tour. Not only did it provide a lot of interesting information about the Portland area, but it was a lot of fun. The tour guide kept things alive with his humor. We would recommend this to anyone. |
