Your guided tour takes you through Portland and along the Eastern Promenade with stunning views of Casco Bay and the Calendar Islands. You'll continue past some of the city's most beautiful Victorian mansions. Once the homes of wealthy sea merchants, today many stand as a reminder of a gentler time and place. You will visit Fort Williams Park. Situated in the town of Cape Elizabeth, Fort Williams is home to Portland Head Light, the oldest lighthouse in Maine. Commissioned by President Washington in 1797, it was the first lighthouse completed by the newly created U.S. government. Its white conical tower with rambling red roofs makes Portland Head Light not only Portland's most recognizable landmark but the most photographed lighthouse in the U.S. Following your visit you'll re-board your transportation for a scenic drive back to the pier.
