Tour was okay. The vehicle was pretty bumpy and creaky. Distracted from the tour.
The tour started with being picked up at the Benson Hotel, where we were staying. Then onto the next stop to pick up an additional 8 passengers. The tour encompassed Portland from the hills to the water - and Steve our guide, was very informative talking about the history of the city to the present. We had a very rainy day - which was the downside and we were only out of the van at two stops - one being the Chinese Gardens beautiful despite the weather and the Pittock mansion. My only suggestion would be to have some type of a sound system in the van - although i was sitting behind the driver and could hear him - not sure those at the back of the van could hear him that well. This tour was a good fit for my husband and myself - learning more about the area than I would have without the tour.
Our Guide, Tom, showed us parts of Portland we would never have visited on our own and threw in a few extras. He was knowledgeable, welcoming and accommodating. Great tour to get to know history, gardens, parks, shopping and overall layout of the city.
