There is a wonderful abundance of amazing food here in town. Many of Portland's restaurants are only open for dinner, and guides love to promote their favorites, especially if we walk by over lunchtime tours. We are glad to read that you took AJ up on many of her suggestions and enjoyed your other meals. We work with over 30 restaurant partners that rotate with us over 13 years in operation, so we will not show them your comment. We will add that the taco was fresh, locally caught haddock and the full size lobster rolls feature freshly picked Maine lobster, and the dark chocolate truffles are from a multi-award winning chocolatier. We have to take issue with your suggestion that we "can't get good restaurants on the tour" as we have no idea where this thought comes from! You neglected to include that you were also served fresh blueberry pastries from a bakery at the start and a choice of local craft beers at 2 locations, and if AJ's memory serves her, the group also enjoyed freshly shucked oysters on the waterfront. We are glad that we gave you great recommendations to enjoy the remainder of your visit and that you enjoyed some of your foods and found it informative and entertaining. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that visits Portland and hopefully you are as lucky as we were to have AJ as the tour guide! My wife and I felt like we were hanging out with a friend as opposed to our tour guide. She offered to take pictures of us so we could make the experience memorable. She took us to four of the most popular restaurants/bars in the area and made sure we had a blast. She took us around explaining the history of some of the buildings and what they were used for prior to what they are now. AJ was personable, fun, and very knowledgeable about the history of the city. This was all thanks to our tour guide AJ! It was just my wife and I on the tour because there were a lot of cancellations due to the weather which made the experience all the more special. It was pouring the day of our tour so we were skeptical how it would go but it ended up being one of the best times we have had and was the highlight of our trip. She had scheduled the happy hour foodie tour for us which ran from 4-6 In the evening. My wife took me to Portland for my birthday.
