Red Cloak Tours are historically based tours throughout coastal Maine. Having been in business for 13 years, we have taken our popular walking tours and adapted them for COVID-19 times. The tours will now be done live by telephone, so that guests can safely keep social distance and have a private, guided tour of their choice.

Topics include history, maritime, haunted history, cemetery explorations and more. These new TeleTours are available in 9 different communities - Freeport, Bath, Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset, Hallowell, Camden, Rockland and Bar Harbor.

Tidbit Tasting Parties include a box of yummy Maine goodies and a live, virtual "party" where your Red Cloak host shares the history and folklore behind each bite! "Box of Maine" can ship boxes to multiple households. See website for more information.

We also offer gift certificates for future tours, as well as books.
