Discover Portland's hidden histories on a guided, small-group walking tour of the Old Port, city centre, and working waterfront. Marvel at images of the past and colourful storytelling, making the past come alive. Hear stories about the city's sights, streets, and buildings that are typically omitted from other tours. The group will include no more than 15 people, so there's plenty of room to interact and ask questions.
My name is Dugan Murphy and I am a full-time public historian in my hometown. Over 31,000 people have taken tours with me! I relish my vocation: creating unforgettable experiences for curious travellers – the ones who really want to connect with the place they're visiting. I have been the official tour partner of Maine Historical Society since 2023.
Brick pavements beneath your feet and beautiful Victorian-era buildings nestled around you, on this tour you’ll casually stroll Portland’s lush, historic Old Port towards 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.
