Tram - Aerial view Portland - Such a cool way to see the city from that perspective. The views of downtown, the river and Mount Hood on a clear day were absolutely stunning. My guide Sarah made the experience even better. She was incredibly informative, sharing facts about the city’s history and the surrounding landmarks. You can tell she truly knows her stuff and enjoys what she does. She was thoughtful and made the experience engaging and personal. Her friendly energy and knowledge elevated the whole tour.

Beautiful view! - A lovely low-key experience with a knowledgable guide. Don't like the 10 character minimum on this question.

A fun and quick ride that you don't find in many cities - This is a pretty cool experience for just a little money. Around $9 for a round-trip ride. We went at 5pm which was apparently when a lot of commuters ride the tram. Also, the day we rode there was no air conditioning within the car so it was hot. The ride is fairly short so it wasn't unbearable.

Why not? - We dont like to wake up super early but the pics made it look nice. Not everyday you're in a different city. Teens enjoyed it. It was a one time type of thing. So why not! Donuts were yummy
