Top Portland Half-day Tours

Beautiful, breathtaking views. The guides were very knowledgeable. 2 of the hikes were a bit steep but the other 3 were very doable. It was a bit cloudy for our trip so the sunset didn’t last that long but still totally worth it. Coming from Alaska, we have our own waterfalls but there was 1 you could get right up next to it. Beautiful! We would definitely recommend this to family and friends. This is an all ages excursion.

The Best of Portland City Tour with Evergreen Escapes Portland was a wonderful introduction to the city! Luke, our guide, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional (even with a difficult guest on our small tour!). Our first stops were a wonderful way to start! The Pittock Mansion grounds were in full bloom and Luke served us hot beverages and delicious, local banana bread. Here’s where he set the stage for the rest of the day and gave us a digestible version of Portland history.Our second stop at the International Rose Test garden. A stunning and fragrant visit. We then ventured through several communities in Portland, including downtown, to learn more about Portland and its culture(s). This was a highpoint for me to learn about the city rather than just visiting a few monuments. Luke topped the tour off with a tasty sample of Portland donuts! Beyond the tour Luke offered suggestions and recommendations on food and activities outside the tour to help ensure everyone enjoyed their visit to Portland and Oregon more broadly.

Saw stunning waterfalls and the beauty of the gorge and river and the major mountains in the area. Learned about the history and fascinating geology of the area. Went to one winery, which was lovely and had some excellent wines. We were the only people on The trip so our experience was probably unusual; it fostered our interaction with our guide, who was personable and knowledgeable.

The weather wasn't great and so my wife and I were the only ones on today's tour, which for us was a good thing. We had never been in Portland and Peter did a fantastic job showing us around town. He's a native and has deep knowledge about the city and its interesting history. We wanted a great introduction to Portland and he came through.

I had such a wonderful time and got everything out of it that I wanted! The storytelling and history paired with the hiking route really made for a wonderful experience. I was in town for a conference and this was a great way to change up the week and experience some of the beauty of Portland!

Did this 2hr tour while my husband was here for business and it did not disappoint! Shannon was so nice and answered all my questions. I got a great sense of the downtown layout. I enjoyed it very much and highly recommend it for first time visitors to Portland!

We went on the Full-Day Guided Oregon Coast and the Half Day Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls tours with Cameron. Cameron is friendly and super knowledgeable. You can tell he enjoys giving tours. We enjoyed both tours. Our favorite was the waterfall tour. Towards the end of the tour Cameron gives Portland restaurant recommendations. These are restaurants he has eaten at. Pay attention to this. Cameron recommends excellent restaurants.

Kelly, our guide, is an enthusiastic booster of Portland life, sights, community and beauty; her itinerary featured unique corners of the city that spark one's curiosity and appreciation for all it has to offer. Most of the time, we rode on the flat, cruising through rose gardens, river paths and street art galleries. Highly enjoyable and recommended for those who'd like a glimpse of something special.
