This was a first class tour, the guide/driver was very knowledgeable and great fun. It ran exactly to time, was easy to find the meeting point, a great short tour
This was friendly fun and a good time. Loved the lighthouse and all the information on Portland. I would definitely go
One of the finest tour guides we had on the whole trip. The lighthouses were beautiful. A wealth of knowledge about the city where our tour guide was born and raised. A great tour.
