The tour was awesome!! ...
The tour was awesome!! Ray our guide provided so much information about the food industry in Portland Maine. The tastings were exceptional and we would not change a thing. We highly recommend this tour and Ray as your guide.

Food tour with Yanni
We had a great time on the food tour! Yanni was great and very knowledgeable! The food at each place was great especially the chowder and lobster roll!! Highly recommend this tour.

A Must for Food Lovers
Had a fantastic tour with Ray in early August. Our tour sampled five Portland foodie favorites - seafood tacos, chowder, of course a lobster roll, and two desserts. Along the way Ray shared with us a lot of information about the history of the city - both culinary and not - and gave a lot of recommendations for other food-centric things to do while we were in town. Although Portland was struggling through a heat wave (and it was VERY hot outside), the tour was a great experience. Highly recommend if your trip to Portland is at all food-centric or food-related.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Port Culinary Walking Tour from Portland: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Portland.
How much does Old Port Culinary Walking Tour from Portland cost?
+
Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Portland usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Old Port Culinary Walking Tour from Portland take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Portland is not rushed.
Is Old Port Culinary Walking Tour from Portland worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 474 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Portland, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Old Port Culinary Walking Tour from Portland?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Old Port Culinary Walking Tour from Portland suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old Port Culinary Walking Tour from Portland?
+
Around 166 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Portland can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Portland and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old Port Culinary Walking Tour from Portland start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Portland within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Portland?
+
Portland sells lighthouse and lobster-boat tours in Casco Bay, Old Port food and brewery walks, seal and puffin cruises, and fall foliage runs up the Maine coast. On Outty we rank every Portland experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Real Portland Tour: City and 3 Lighthouses Historical Tour with a Real Local, Portland, Maine: Hidden Histories Guided Walking Tour, A Walk Through Time Tour in Portland. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Portland?
+
June to October, with peak foliage in early October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Portland?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
