Overview

All our tours take place in a comfortable vehicle with a local driver-guide and can be tailored to your pace. This private tour is done in our larger passenger van that can take up to 12 passengers. We’re happy to customize the experience to match your interests. This particular tour covers all the major sights in Portland, followed by a visit to the South Portland lighthouses, including admission to Fort Williams Park to see the Portland Headlight. After exploring Portland, you'll journey down the highway to Kennebunkport, a charming coastal village that served as the summer retreat for former President George W. Bush and his family. While we have a standard route, as a private tour, we can personalize the itinerary to suit your preferences.
