Portland City Overview plus Grotto - Phoebe was great...highly recommend! We learned a lot on our private tour and had her drop us off at the Grotto which we would say every one should visit.

Excellent Tours - Our experience with Hub World Travels tours was very positive! Initially, there was a difficulty that both tours scheduled for the day did not have enough people signed up for the tour, and tour rules said they reserved the right to cancel the tours for lack of participation. When our situation was described to them, they agreed to still run both tours for only two people. This was enormously appreciated! Given our situation it would have been very frustrating for the entire day of tours to be canceled last minute. Both tours turned out to be excellent! A large part of the success of each tour is directly credited to the driver/guide of each tour. Both drivers were top notch. Gunner ran the morning half day tour of Portland, and Zach ran the afternoon half day tour of Moultnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour. Both drivers/guides were very friendly and personable. They both were excellent conversationalists and had extensive knowledge about the things on each tour. Both tours were effective in providing a good overview of the city of Portland and the surrounding natural attractions. If you have only one day in Portland is is suggested you take the half day city tour, and the half day waterfall tour with Hub World Travels. Both the quality of the guides as well as the sites seen made it an informative and enjoyable day! Thanks! : )

Portland morning city tour - Jay was an excellent tour guide. We covered so much of Portland that would’ve been inaccessible by walking or public transport. We had opportunities to walk the Pittock mansion, rose gardens & Lake Oswego.

Gotta do the tour! - Gunner was our driver today. Very informative about the city, the surroundings, the people and the history of Portland. We love taking the Viatour city tours. You learn so much about the town that you would not on your own. Gunner brought a very personal touch to the tour. Would definitely recommend this tour if you really want to get a hometown perspective of the city.

Perfect way to learn about Portland! - The Portland Morning City Tour operated by America's Hub World Tours was wonderful! The tour picks up at downtown Portland hotels in a clean and comfortable tour van with water was provided. The tour guide, Gunnar, was very friendly and knowledgeable on all things Portland. This tour is a great way to get acquainted to the city if you've never been. Highly recommend! Plus, the customer service was WONDERFUL!
