Chose this company for the convenient pick-up location and venue. Chose tour in order to dodge hassle with parking and driving, to let me be able to see the sights along the road and at stops. This tour did just that! We met at a convenient spot and our tour guide handled the driving and parking! He also shared stories along the way and managed the unexpected road work well. We saw three waterfalls on our tour. Our guide led us to Latourell Falls himself, and awakens Falls too, which was good for me because I can easily get lost. He didn’t do the uphill trek for the other because (1) the path was very easy to see (paved walkway) and (2) he needed to manage the parking situation, as there was no parking there.
The company offers bottled water and snacks but we had brought our own. We had a few minutes to shop at a couple of the stops.
Now comments for those considering a visit to this road and its falls:
—Vista House is only open on select days for select hours, so plan ahead. It has a gift shop in the basement that is adorable. Offers magnets, post cards, and pressed pennies of Vista House and for Multnomah Falls. (Multnomah is busy so easier to buy here.)
—We did the morning tour in early June. By the time we got to Multnomah, the light was not great for photos.
—our tour was 3 hours and I did feel pressed for time. We couldn’t do Bridal Veil falls due to the loss of 15+ minutes due to road construction. There are 4 hour tours on TripAdvisor if this is important to you.
—We didn’t get very wet. It was a clear day with light wind. I took ponchos, expecting something like at Niagara Falls, but we hardly got any spray at any time. Your results may vary, as other reviews mentioned getting wet.
Overall very pleased with this company in particular. Very human, personable. Enough conversation and stories to make time slide by but not so much as to be overwhelmed. Driving style is gentle and safe. I’d do business with them again without hesitation.

Sorry it took so long to respond. (I didn't know responses are encouraged!) I wanted to thank you for this detailed review! I really appreciate you taking the time. I look at reviews myself when I'm travelling, and it helps a lot when people share information. Also I appreciate the idea of expanding the tour to 4 hours. If we hear this from more guests, we will certainly consider it. Right now, we allow it to expand to 3.5 hours if necessary. Thank you again. Safe travels!
