Went on this tour with my husband and in laws during our trip to Portland. It was great to experience to the surrounding nature areas without having to rent a car and have a knowledgeable tour guide. Huge shout out to Dominick! It was the highlight of our trip!

Our tour guide, Eric, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable in not only the tour sites themselves but also on Portland history, gave us recommendations on food, and other things to do in Portland. Would definitely recommend this tour for those interested in seeing the outdoor part of Portland

The whole trip was perfect! David was great and provided just the right blend of humor and facts as he guided us through the Columbia River Gorges waterfalls. We were thrilled to see the amazing power up close. He never rushed us but kept us moving for a really awesome afternoon!
