My name is Dugan and this is my tour company. Join me for an unforgettable jaunt through Portland. A recipient of Tripadvisor's 2023 Best of the Best Awards, I am the top-ranked guide in Maine, #2 in New England, #12 nationwide, and in the top 1% of historical tour guides worldwide. Since 2023, I have been the official tour guide of the Maine Historical Society.

I combed through the 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. I'm inspired by the intriguing, surprising, empowering – and too often untold – stories of marginalized communities, peoples, and histories.

Each lovingly crafted tour is designed to broaden your sense of what Portland and Maine have been and could be, taking you on a journey beyond what other tours offer. I promise: you’ll leave feeling brighter and more curious about not just Portland, but the wider world. Join me for the Hidden Histories Tour or the Black History Tour.

I also offer private tours. A portion of every ticket sale helps fund the restoration of the Abyssinian Meeting House, the third-oldest Black church still standing in the US.
