took me out even though I was the only one signed up - Jordan made this trip a delight. I was surprised I wasn't cancelled as I was the only one on the tour. I wanted the overall tour of Portland and enjoyed seeing the city. Jordan made sure everything we did was perfect. He is a gem. It was a pleasant morning and I learned a lot about Portand. We stopped and got donuts and coffee during the tour. Thank you Jordan.

We couldn't have been happier. - My wife and I were visiting the Pacific Northwest for her 40th birthday and, since this was our first visit to Portland, we like to cover as many bases as we can. This tour was amazing not only because our tour guide, Bob, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. It was also amazing because it included a wide variety of places in Portland and the Portland area. We got a nice tour through Downtown Portland for starters. Bob pointed out some hot spots that we would maybe want to visit later on our own. We also visited the suburban areas of Portland which I always enjoy. I feel like if you're visiting a new city, you should try to experience everything it has to offer. We visited a local park that had a basketball court inside the crater of a volcano which was crazy. We also visited a beautiful mansion that had an amazing view of the city of Portland. We did not go inside the mansion, but my wife and I were perfectly content with that. Our guide pointed out some amazing and unique places along the way. Two that come to mind are an old school video rental store that also has a tiny theater in it (Movie Madness) and an old school that has been transformed into a really unique hotel (Mcmenamins Kennedy School). Bob brought some coffee and donuts to share between ourselves. We had a small group which consisted of my wife, a visitor from San Francisco and I. The donuts were from Blue Star donuts, which is one of the best donuts I've had in my life. This is coming from a fat guy which means I've experienced a healthy share of donuts in my lifetime. The experience all around was amazing. I highly recommend and will definitely be using this tour company in the future.

Excellent tour of Portland! - Bob picked us up at our hotel and then spent the next four hours driving us all through downtown and the outer areas of Portland. The van was very comfortable and Bob’s stories and information were interesting and funny. Our relatives, who live in this area, couldn’t believe all the information we received. The Blue Star donuts and coffee were a highlight! Great tour!

Fabulous tour and tour guide!!! - The tour was fun and filled with great information on the history of Portland and its many different neighborhoods. It was a good combination of riding and being able to get out and walk a bit. Our tour guide, Bree, was personable, fun and professional!! There were several little extras that enhanced the trip significantly!

Wonderful Portland city tour - Our guide, Bree, did a wonderful job showing us beautiful Portland. She took us to see the various neighborhoods that make the city so unique, as well as highlights such as the magnificent rose garden. One of our favorite stops was Blue Star Donuts--most delicious. This was a great introduction to Portland.

An entertaining way to spend half a day in Portland - We had a limited time in Portland but wanted to see the city and learn something about its history and everyday life. This tour is perfect to achieve just that. Our driver and tour guide Bob was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of funny and entertaining facts about Portland, its past and present, its culture and food scene. The day happened to be rainy, but we stayed warm and dry in the Mercedes mini-van while traversing all six (yes, six, not four!) quadrants of Portland. The only minor discrepancy between the tour description and the real thing was that they promised some sort of breakfast on the go, but in reality, Bob treated us with some local gourmet doughnuts, which was certainly very nice, but I wouldn't count it as breakfast. So, my advice to fellow travelers is to make sure you have your breakfast before the tour or bring your own snacks. Otherwise, it was a very positive experience and a good way to "meet" a new city.
