The tour gave us a good...

The tour gave us a good overview of Portland. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the rose garden and aerial tramway. I wished I had a map to see what part of the city we were in as we traveled.

Great intro to Portland

This turned out to be great choice. Eric our guide was great! Very personable and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed his commentary and recommendations for things to do and places to go in and around Portland. Even my sister who lives in the area learned a lot about the city. This was a small group tour in a van so it was easy to get around. We would highly recommend this experience!

Portland Oregon City Van Tour

Our guide’s knowledge, attention to detailed, and enthusiasm made the tour much more interesting. Portland Oregon has a lot going for it, especially if they try to have smoother roads and lodge the homeless outside the city business might have a chance to get more foot traffic.
