Portland and Ross were a way to spend a day!

Our guides love and knowledge of Portland was contagious! Ross was fun and knew so much about everything that we never knew how wonderful his city really was. His recommendations on places to eat were spot on and the cookies at the end of the tour were delicious!
Two Thumbs for Ross
Sue_C
, Jul 2022
Ross was our guide and we couldn’t have asked for better. He was knowledgeable, funny and kind. I had asked Ross a question that he did’t know the answer to and he texted me afterwards to give me an answer!!! The description says the tour goes up to the observatory so I left my husband to continue on without me. Ross directed me to wait at a specific location and meet up with the tour a bit before the end. So thoughtful. What you should know is they have cut the climb up the hill to the observatory out of the tour so I probably could have done it all. We were lucky enough to have a surprise add on. As we approached the Custom House, someone from inside asked Ross if he wanted to bring us in. Such a treat that very few get to enjoy. Highly recommend. Do NOT let the description of climbing the long steep hill to the observatory scare you, it’s an old description.
Great historical walk around downtown Portland

An incredible way to learn the history of Portland , walking along the wharf and old part of Portland was super interesting , visiting the inside of the custom house was a special .. recommendations of restaurants by our guide Ross was helpful .. the walk ended with Ross treating us to a cookie- appreciated this gesture .. being a very hot day was sort of tiring at the end .. but still enjoyed it

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
