FAQ
-
We do NOT recommend using metered street parking as it maxes out at two hours. We recommend a parking garage or lot (link included in the confirmation email). The closest garage is the Custom House Square parking garage at 25 Pearl Street for $5.00/hour.
-
Portland’s dedication to historic preservation means that many buildings are small spaces with narrow doorways and some stairs. With this tour, we traverse the historic wharf street made of cobblestones, so this is not an advisable tour for wheelchairs etc.
-
This IS a family friendly tour and all ages are welcome. There are adult beverages served in several locations with substitutes available.
-
We love dogs, but legally our partners are not allowed to have pets enter their premises unless they’re certified service dogs.
