Portland, Maine: Hidden Histories Guided Walking Tour – Portland, Maine

EXPERIENCE

Discover Portland’s hidden histories on a guided, small-group walking tour of the Old Port, downtown, and working waterfront. Marvel at images of the past and at the colorful storytelling your guide shares with you to make the past come alive. Hear stories only a local knows about the city’s sights, streets, and buildings. The group will include no more than 15 people, so there’s plenty of room to interact and ask questions.

Brick sidewalks beneath your feet and beautiful Victorian-era buildings nestled around you, on this tour you ll casually stroll Portland s lush, historic Old Port toward the sparkling waters of Casco Bay. Enjoy two hours to slow down and immerse yourself in the best Portland has to offer.

End your tour in a waterfront park, about a 5-minute walk from where you started, surrounded by boutiques, restaurants, and other activity opportunities to continue your own discovery of the city.

Entertainer-historian Dugan Murphy leads unforgettable jaunts through his hometown, telling an inclusive, empowering, and surprising constellation of tales you won’t hear on other tours. Maine Historical Society likes him so much, they made him their official tour partner. Find out why Tripadvisor named him Maine’s #1 tour guide!
