I had a wonderful time on this tour! I highly recommend. It was a good way to get a glimpse of iconic Portland spots and I felt safer biking around in a group. Charlotte our tour guide was great and super knowledgeable about Portland!

Easy to find-in a great older building near Chinatown. Renee and Spencer were great! Took the essential PDX tour. Lots of information about the city’s history and the bridges. Riding along river was perfect. Would do again just for the easy way to be outside in a bike friendly city and enjoy a beautiful day

Donavan was our tour guide and he was the best! He took the time to educate us on the features of how to use the ebike; each stop was an independent discussion of the area history; always provided hand signals for direction; open to any questions; great suggestions for food and other sites to see in the area. Donavan was great! And the other guys in the shop were very helpful as well. I would definitely go on this tour again even though I've been once. I would recommend to all. Thank you to the bike shop!

Fun Way to See Portland

cornelia_T, Aug 2026
This was a really fun way to see neighborhoods on both sides of the Willamette, as well as things we wouldn't know to look for, like street art in a parking garage; or couldn't do in a car, like cross Tilikum Crossing. We would have liked to hear more about the local history, but nonetheless this was an informative tour.

We had a great time. We have a family of five - kids ages 11, 13 and 15. Our tour guide (Carl) was fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful of the entire group. We had a group of 10 total people and he always made sure everyone was in the group. The ride was great - up and down the river. Learned so much about Portland. Would definitely do it again.

Portland bike tour

Lara_C, Aug 2026
My 10 year old son and I took this tour. Our tour guide, Jay, was great! Very knowledgeable about the city and attentive to the way a 10 year old would want to experience the city by bicycle. We enjoyed our tour very much! My son gave 5 out of 5 stars! And I agree!!

Portland is different on a bike.

Very fun adventure even in the rain!

Tom_G, Nov 2025
We did the ebike tour and it was very fun, Donavan was our guide and he was very good and flexible as to the route. We did a great ride along both sides of the Willamette River. A great way to see Portlands river front. Highly recommend! Mother nature provided light rain the entire ride but it made it a truly Portland experience!

Portland Bike Tour

Donovan was a great guide. He helped us navigate safely around Portland by bike while sharing historical and cultural information. It was a great way for us to orient ourselves on our first day in the city. He also provided very helpful suggestions for dining and activity in the city.

Fun Way to See the City

Chris_G, Sept 2025
We enjoyed every minute of the ride and the interesting info re the city shared by our excellent guide Charlotte. Fun way to see Portland from a different vantage point. Felt safe with our fine-tuned rental bikes and with our confident, experienced leader in Charlotte. She answered any questions we had, incl a suggestion for a restaurant for dinner we will never forget! Only suggestion, bring water.

Nice bike tour

Patti_C, Sept 2025
This tour was fun and informative. We rode bikes (not e-bikes) and were able to keep up easily. Charlotte put safety first at all times and shared many interesting facts about Portland. Would strongly recommend.

Biking Around Portland

Patty_P, Sept 2025
Bikes in good condition, bike shop neighborhood a bit sketchy with a lot of unhoused people. Charlotte was very knowledgeable and took us to some interesting and beautiful places like the neighborhood rose garden and community art project in parking garage. We didn’t hit all the places on the itinerary on the website, but we did see cool dragon boat races on the river.
