This was the second tour that my boyfriend and I did with Oregon Hub City Tours, and this tour couldn’t have been more different from our other tour. I’ll start with negatives.
- the tour company overbooked our tour, so our van (which was already crowded) was overpacked.
- we were in a van that had very little space; the rows were too close together and given the amount of people, I would’ve thought we would have a larger vehicle.
- our tour guide was also the driver, which unfortunately meant we didn’t end up hearing much information on the area we were touring.
- the microphone provided for our driver wasn’t working so even if he wanted to talk, the back two rows of our van couldn’t hear anyway over the A/C.
- not much time was given for each stop, I wound up feeling rushed (especially at the more scenic places, like Multnomah Falls)
Now for some positives!
+ the scenery, despite not having enough time to explore it, was beautiful!
+ our tour guide, despite being inhibited by the situation, was very knowledgeable and nice.
Overall, I feel that if the logistical errors in this tour been ironed out, it would’ve been far more enjoyable.
