Best Coastal Trip! - This was a great tour...saw all the iconic sights...but what made the tour the best were the stories and historic narrative of our tour guide Peter! The van was extremely comfortable and accommodating to seniors with some mobility issues. I would highly recommend this tour/tour company!

Perfect Coastal Vibes - Absolute perfection!!!! We were so lucky to have Gunnar as our private guide, what a wealth of knowledge and humor! We were in such good hands as we toured the coast. Each spot that he showed us was spectacular...Cannon Beach, Haystack Rock, Short Falls Beach...and perfect weather on our tour day! Gunnar provided us with bites of fresh cherries and blueberries and lively conversation throughout the day. He advised us on restaurants and Cannon Beach and even indulged my wish to shop a little after lunch (the benefits of a private tour). My nephew and I were so sad to tell him goodbye at the end of our tour, we felt like he was our best friend!! I HIGHLY recommend this tour!

The tour was nice and informative. We saw some beautiful sights and really enjoyed our trip. - The trip was nice and Gunner shared some good details. He did a good job of pointing things out and sharing information about different things along the way. He was polite, considerate and funny. He was flexible. The tour guide that was behind us at a few stops shared more educational details. Gunner didn't do anything wrong at all, just the guide behind us shared a lot more facts
