Just did the Portland Explorer Lighthouse Tour - it was amazing!

So, I took the Portland Explorer tour last weekend, and wow, it did not disappoint! We saw three beautiful lighthouses and the views were stunning. Each stop was filled with cool history. They provided bottled water, and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Perfect for a nice summer day! Just a heads up, wear comfy shoes because you’ll walk a bit around the sites!
