This tour is very informative. It covers a lot of downtown Portland as well as three lighthouses. There is never a dull moment with Derek leading the tour. Highly recommend!

Jordan made this trip a delight. I was surprised I wasn't cancelled as I was the only one on the tour. I wanted the overall tour of Portland and enjoyed seeing the city. Jordan made sure everything we did was perfect. He is a gem. It was a pleasant morning and I learned a lot about Portand. We stopped and got donuts and coffee during the tour. Thank you Jordan.

My wife and I were visiting the Pacific Northwest for her 40th birthday and, since this was our first visit to Portland, we like to cover as many bases as we can. This tour was amazing not only because our tour guide, Bob, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. It was also amazing because it included a wide variety of places in Portland and the Portland area. We got a nice tour through Downtown Portland for starters. Bob pointed out some hot spots that we would maybe want to visit later on our own. We also visited the suburban areas of Portland which I always enjoy. I feel like if you're visiting a new city, you should try to experience everything it has to offer. We visited a local park that had a basketball court inside the crater of a volcano which was crazy. We also visited a beautiful mansion that had an amazing view of the city of Portland. We did not go inside the mansion, but my wife and I were perfectly content with that. Our guide pointed out some amazing and unique places along the way. Two that come to mind are an old school video rental store that also has a tiny theater in it (Movie Madness) and an old school that has been transformed into a really unique hotel (Mcmenamins Kennedy School). Bob brought some coffee and donuts to share between ourselves. We had a small group which consisted of my wife, a visitor from San Francisco and I. The donuts were from Blue Star donuts, which is one of the best donuts I've had in my life. This is coming from a fat guy which means I've experienced a healthy share of donuts in my lifetime. The experience all around was amazing. I highly recommend and will definitely be using this tour company in the future.
