Top Portland Half-day Tours - page 2

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.

This tour was awesome. We were with a relatively small group (my partner and I, plus a mom-daughter duo), plus our guide. Super laid back and fun, felt like hanging out with friends in the best way. Our guide was great about making sure everyone was comfortable with the pace of the tour. We were taken to some great local spots, food and drink were both on point. Highly recommended.

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!

Highly recommend! Michelle was our tour guide and she was a wealth of knowledge about the city of Portland. The food was amazing……so amazing I forgot to take pictures 🤣 and so much food! We do food tours on all of our travels and this has been the best one to date! Those tacos 🥳

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.

Angela was an amazing guide! I loved learning about the different plants she spotted along the hikes, and the history of the area. The bike ride was challenging enough to be interesting but still a lot of fun! Riding your bike along the Columbia gourge should be on your bucket list if it isn't already. Angela did a great job making sure I felt comfortable on the bike and matched my pace so I didn't feel like I was slowing things down. If you have a chance to take this tour, do it, you won't regret it!

Michael, our waiter, was fantastic! He was attentive and friendly. The cruise was beautiful and the food was delicious. We didn’t opt to listen to the history audio, but did catch bits of it when we went out on deck. The crew was very friendly and helpful during boarding and disembarking. It was a great trip for a girls brunch!
