The Experience
What your day looks like
Your driving tour takes you first to the West End, packed with historical landmarks like the Danforth Inn and the Western Promenade. Then, you’ll swing through Downtown toward the city’s East End, where you’ll find an observatory, East End Beach, and much more. After that, cruise down into South Portland, home to the famous Portland Head Light, probably Maine’s most iconic lighthouse! Your walking tour offers a deeper dive into Old Port and Downtown Portland. Learn about everything from the Rum Riot to the Great Fire as you walk down cobblestone streets and admire stunning architecture like the old Custom House and the Victoria Mansion. Explore Portland’s Art District, visit Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s former home, and hear about the fight for Women’s Suffrage in Portland! This comprehensive bundle offers an in-depth look at this beautiful coastal city… and, of course, plenty of photo ops to boot!
