YOUR GUIDES

I am a veteran Portland tour guide. A retired high school English teacher and long-time Portland resident, my enthusiasms encompass history, music, literature, and art. Drawing on decades of walking, biking, looking, listening, eating, and drinking in Portland, I will help you make the most of your time in one of the "coolest small cities" (GQ) in the US.  I'm a member of the Historical Society, a Portland History Docent, a volunteer guide for Greater Portland Landmarks, and a board member of Spirits Alive, the friends group of the Eastern Cemetery. 

I am a longtime Portland resident and have been a Portland-based tour guide for many years. I like to present Portland history with solid academic validity--I'm a Portland History Docent--infused with local color and humor. Sometimes the back story tells the history better than the headline.  

I'll show you the craft breweries and the local distilleries. I'll point out both the 5 star restaurants and the cheap Happy Hour hot spots. I'll recommend things to see and do on your own, and the museums, music venues, and activities that will help you to make the most of your time in Portland and in Maine.
