Portland by the Foot guided historical walking tours
Guided walking tours that will knock your socks right off!
Storytelling with heart, humor, and humanity
Join Portland by the Foot's local guide Dugan Murphy for an unforgettable jaunt through Maine's largest city. TripAdvisor named him Portland's #1 tour guide! He's combed through piles of archives to find the most intriguing stories in Portland's history and boiled them down into an inclusive, empowering, and surprising constellation of tales you won’t hear on other tours.
Choose from three guided walking tours:
- The Black History Tour through the Old Port and East End;
- The Nefarious Portland Tour through the Arts District and West End; or
- The Hidden Histories Tour through the Old Port and Commercial Street Waterfront.
You'll leave feeling brighter and more curious about not just Portland, but the wider world.
We also offer private tours.
A portion of every ticket sale will help fund the restoration of the Abyssinian Meeting House, Maine's oldest—and America's third-oldest—standing Black church.
