Portland Fire Engine Co.

This vintage fire truck tour delivers exactly what you'd hope for: engaging guides who know their stuff, comfortable open-air seating, and a fun way to cover a lot of ground in about an hour. The guides consistently earn praise for being knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely caring about their guests. One visitor mentioned receiving exceptional kindness when arriving flustered, while families rave about how accommodating the staff is with kids and even well-behaved dogs. The converted fire truck itself is part of the charm, with covered bench seating arranged in a U-shape and a screen for historical photos. Pro tip from multiple reviewers: sit on the left side (driver's side) since most sights are viewed from that angle, saving your neck some work. The tour hits both sides of Portland, including harbor views and historic neighborhoods, making it perfect for getting oriented or experiencing parts of the city you might not walk to. Even locals found it worthwhile, which says plenty about the quality of information shared. For the price and duration, it's consistently described as excellent value and family-friendly fun.
