The tour was excellent covering the major parts/attractions of the City of Portland, OR. The Guide/Driver was outstanding in his knowledge and presentation!

The tour was fun and filled with great information on the history of Portland and its many different neighborhoods. It was a good combination of riding and being able to get out and walk a bit. Our tour guide, Bree, was personable, fun and professional!! There were several little extras that enhanced the trip significantly!

We had a limited time in Portland but wanted to see the city and learn something about its history and everyday life. This tour is perfect to achieve just that. Our driver and tour guide Bob was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of funny and entertaining facts about Portland, its past and present, its culture and food scene. The day happened to be rainy, but we stayed warm and dry in the Mercedes mini-van while traversing all six (yes, six, not four!) quadrants of Portland. The only minor discrepancy between the tour description and the real thing was that they promised some sort of breakfast on the go, but in reality, Bob treated us with some local gourmet doughnuts, which was certainly very nice, but I wouldn't count it as breakfast. So, my advice to fellow travelers is to make sure you have your breakfast before the tour or bring your own snacks. Otherwise, it was a very positive experience and a good way to "meet" a new city.
