Portland Food Crat Tour with Kelly

We had a fantastic food cart bike tour with Kelly! Kelly's selections for food items at each location was great. We are so impressed with Portland and how bike and pedestrian friendly it is. Kelly was very knowledgeable about Portland history and each of the food cart locations. It was a great way to spend the day! Highly recommend.

A Delicious Peddle

Our group of 6 friends had a super time peddling vibrant neighborhoods and experiencing top notch food with our fantastic guide Kelly. We all agreed it was the highlight of our visit to Portland.

Worth every penny!

Great food! Great drinks! And Kelly filled in with a slow ride and Portland history in between. Would have given it more stars if I could!

Bikes, Bites & a Bit of Booze

I honestly had not been on a bike in a "minute" so was a tad worried I would not be able to keep up. Seconds after meeting Kelly--our amazing guide--I was put at ease. She had us pick out out bike and helmet and test everything out, including a mini-ride around the parking lot to get comfortable. And then we were off! To bike around this beautiful city, while stopping for yummy food along the way. What could be more fun? And having Kelly as our guide was the icing on the cake (or the whipped cream on the waffle--you'll know what I mean once you go!). She was so informative about all things Portland...the different areas, the culture, the people. the food. We have returned to many of the places we visited. We left with full bellies and minds. It was truly a lovely way to spend four hours on a Saturday and such a great value for the money (just don't forget to tip...the guides work hard). My husband and I will be forever grateful she told us about Dove Vi Vi (not on the tour) as it has become a fave. We cannot wait to do more tours with this company (and hopefully Kelly).
