What are people saying about Portland

Maiss_M, Nov 2026

The coast was so scenic...

The coast was so scenic and the guide took care of the driving and navigation, so you could sit back and enjoy every aspect of the trip! It was very well-organized from the hotel pickup to lunch and right back to our hotels for drop-off. I do have two recommendations for the guide: (1) have everyone introduce themselves when they get on the bus - would definitely feel more communal and help welcome some conversations on the road and (2) the guided instruction went on for about 2 hours in the morning as we headed out of the city and I might cut that down to 1 hour and give everyone a bit of time to relax or listen to music. Otherwise, it was a wonderful excursion!

My first trip to Portland

We had a great experience and a comfortable travel with Brian. He is amazing guide and a host he made up comfortable and picked and dropped us on time. He was flexible throughout and also ensured we all in the tour had a unique and fun filled experience. The whole trip was planned in a structured manner which made us comfortable and aware of what’s coming next. Thankyou so much and to Brian as he made a wonderful experience to our first trip to Portland ❤️🙌

Cute, quick activity

It was a more brief activity than I thought, but it was very enjoyable because of the host, Nanci. The activity was slated for 1.5hrs but it was closer to an hour. We got some great context and understanding of Oregon through someone who’s been apart of the community for a long while.

My boyfriend and I came to visit Oregon to mark it off of our “States to visit “ list. We decided to find some activity to do locally to log our memory of it and Hopscotch did not disappoint. We both enjoyed the art along with the interactivities; our favorite Art was the Happiness room!! Thank you for the experience!!

2.5 hour dinner cruise

The food was wonderful . Our group of six had the beef tenderloin, blackened lamb, chicken, and the steelhead trout. All were delicious and excellently prepared. The scenery was amazing. We really enjoyed seeing the beautiful houses and bridges. Some commentary would have been nice since we were not from this region of the country.

We had a full bus and had a great time being in Portland with our son. My husband lived here 1979 ish and he has had fun seeing everything many years later. Sean was more than great. He was very knowledgeable about all the Falls and Oregon trivia. The 4 hours went by fast.

Oregon Coast Tour from Portland

Josh_K, Sept 2026

Stunning Tour Through Oregon's Majestic Beauty, and a Delicious Seaside Lunch

This was a wonderful introduction to the coastal beauty of Oregon. I am visiting Portland for a week, and of course I could have drove my rental car over myself but this is not only great convenience, but Mark is a great guide as well, sharing stories and interesting facts about the area along the way that I wouldn't have got going it alone. That makes me appreciate an area much more. He is also super caring and considerate of everyone on the tour. You have a lot of fantastic lunch options in Cannon Beach, and if you choose to visit the candy store there, don't be like me and get just a few pieces of chocolate... you'll regret it when you run out! The walking we did through trails was very light compared to other tours I have done, so accessible to more people who may have some mobility issues but of course, you are still walking dirt trails, with rocks and tree roots, and potentially slippery surfaces so still be mindful of that. Thanks Mark, would happily take another tour with you again!

Beautiful Tour of Portland

This river lunch tour was a beautiful relaxing tour of the city and bridges from the perspective on the river. The sights were spectacular. The food was amazing. The printed tour guide was interesting. Some of us parked in nearby parking ramp. Others took the Maxline and were dropped off just a few blocks from the dock. The booking and communication from Viator made the whole experience seamless. Can’t wait to do it again with other family and friends!

Scenic 2-Hour River Cruise to the Willamette Falls!

Takayoshi_S, Aug 2026

It was a wonderful cruise.

Captain Spicy was knowledgeable, very kind, and wonderful. The explanation of the history of the Willamette River was easy to understand, and I had a very meaningful time. Another fun memory in Portland with beautiful scenery and him at his host. The boat rocked from the waves of boats coming from the opposite side sometimes, but I enjoyed that too. However, since water can sometimes get in when it shakes, we recommend not placing luggage on the floor. Since the afternoon cruise will be sunny, you should put on sunscreen and wear sunglasses.

They kindly ask people to come 30 minutes early, however I was stuck in traffic and the company could not be nicer and understanding of my circumstances. I made sure to keep them updated of my ETA out of respect, so if you are late just give them a call and they’ll completely understand. Our pilot was so fun and nice!! I had a blast 🤩
