Courtney and Ross served as excellent tour guides for a 4.5 hour, 18 mile bike tour through…read morePortland to see some of the historic lighthouses. We were impressed by our guides' knowledge and attentiveness to safety. This was an easy ride, however, some level of fitness is required as well as being comfortable riding along the road (there were some bike paths, but some road riding). One item of note is that in general, Portland drivers are very courteous to bikers. The tour included lunch in the park featuring lobster rolls. I'm allergic to shellfish, and there were non-lobster options. During one of our stops, I accidentally left my glasses behind, and Ross went the extra mile to circle back and retrieve them. All in all this was a highly entertaining, educational and fun way to spend a day in Portland, and we plan to use this group for a tour next time we're in town.

Our tour guide, Lauren, was a life long Maine resident, and such a fun, upbeat, guide for our day. The ride was relatively easy, and we had plenty of time to explore at each lighthouse. The Portland Head Light is stunningly beautiful, and we had plenty of time to enjoy the views, take photos, etc. The lunch stop at Bite into Maine was fabulous! Our guide took our orders ahead of time so everything was ready when we arrived. Nothing beats a lobster roll and a blueberry soda! This should be a must-do activity on your Portland visit!

My friends and I just did a brew pub running tour with John and Melanie and had a great time! We…read moreall live in Portland, but we are always looking for new activities to do in the area, and this one definitely did not disappoint. The brew pub tour mixed two of our favorite activities-beer and running. I've never gone for a run through the downtown/Old Port area so it was great to have someone leading us who knew exactly where they were going, and knew enough about the alcohol/beer history to keep us entertained along the way. John also knows a lot about the breweries that are on the tour so it was great to hear information about the beers before we even got to the breweries. The route for the tour is set up perfectly, and John is great about staying at a pace that is comfortable for the group so we enjoyed ourselves (literally) every step of the way. Not only is the tour itself a ton of fun, but Melanie and John are very personable and a lot of fun to chat with. The breweries that we went to were Rising Tide, Urban Farm Fermentory, and Sebago. I had never been to Rising Tide or UFF and both tastings were very interesting and very delicious! As I mentioned above, John can tell you a lot about the beers and ciders from past experience and personal knowledge, and the brewery employees are very knowledgeable as well. They answered all of our questions and took the time to tell us what we wanted to know. Sebago was the last stop which was perfect; we got a snack, and got to sit and relax and try four different kinds of beer before heading back. John was our tasting guide at Sebago, and told us about each beer that we were trying which gave it a nice personal touch. I really can not say enough good things about this tour; we had such a great time! This is a great activity to do with family and friends, and a good way to shake up a normal brew pub tour. Not only did we get to experience a new part of Portland, but we got to sneak some exercise and fresh air into the experience (without it actually feeling like exercise)! In addition, if you decide to make a purchase along the way the brewery will hold on to your purchase so that you can come back after and pick it up. I would definitely love to do this again. They offer customized tours so we are thinking about doing a tour for a birthday party. I would highly recommend Port City Running Tours for anyone who lives in or is visiting Portland. You will get to experience some of the best of Portland; the scenery, beer, people, and history, all in one stop, and you will have so much fun while doing it. Thanks again to Port City Port City Running Tours, John, and Melanie for a wonderful time!

Our family enjoyed learning about the many changes in downtown Portland from the 1700s to the 1950s and hearing the stories of remarkable leaders in the community over generations. We appreciated the enthusiasm and concern of Dugan to make sure the entire group was OK during the walk on a hot summer day (the shaded "rest breaks" were a plus). Also, he was open to questions and made everyone feel welcome. Overall, I would strongly recommend any of the walking tours! You are bound to discover something new.

Dugan is very knowledgeable and has done extensive research of his topics.

As other reviewers have said the Susan Rice tie-in was something I did not expect. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about this gem of a city. Dugan, thanks for your dedication and keep up the great Work. We all the better for it.

Absolutely Fantastic! Our whole experience with Maine Beer tours was so great!…read more My husband and I went on the Friday Hoppy Hour tour, with stops at Rising Tide, Bunker, and Oxbow. Mark our guide was AWESOME. He was super friendly and welcoming, and did a great job with having the group talk and get to know each other in a natural way. All three breweries were great, and very different, which made the tour really interesting because you got to see some different things at each place. My personal favorite was Oxbow, but I loved all three stops. We were even able to try a beer brewed with lobsters! Overall a fantastic time, and I would highly recommend! We will book again next time we visit Portland!

The bus was clean and comfortable. 14 people got on the bus as strangers and bonded quickly over beers and brew tales. This really seemed like the kind of adventure you could do again and again. Can't wait to go back and share the Maine Beer Tour experience with others. The one downside was that, as someone who is perpetually early, the lack of signage to be sure I was in the right place made me a bit nervous that I was where I was suppose to be to catch the bus. We hung out in front of the Portland Lobster Co. For a few minutes before others arrived to reassure us we were in the right spot. Overall, this was a fantastic adventure for this beer lover. I learned new things about breweries I thought I knew everything about and was introduced to Bunker Brews and Ice Tea Mead. We'll be back.
