John, our guide, was very informative. Answered all our questions. Loved the waterfalls. John had a wonderful positive attitude. We recommend the private tour as it allows a more personal experience. You can choose how much walking you do at each stop. You still see amazing views whether you walk closer to the falls or stay back.

Irene_L, Apr 2026
I highly recommend it! I’ve had an amazing time visiting Portland for the first time. The duration of the tour was just nice, I don’t feel rushed in a group tour. Gunner, our tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable, amazing story teller, and was very helpful! Not only did I enjoyed the sightseeing, I’ve also learnt a fair bit of history about Portland and the food scene! Thanks for the fun experience!

Falls and All

The Falls Tour

David_M, Oct 2025
It was ok. Little rushed. First time to tour, was 5 minutes late at our first stop and was reprimanded like I was a 10 year old. Set a negative vibe with me for the rest of tour, next time emphasize the importance of being on time and not just say be back by a certain time. We didn’t know you had another tour and pressed for time.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for the feedback. It is very important to return on time from each stop, because if you do not you are taking time away from your fellow tour guests at the next stops. There were 9 other people on the tour and they were all waiting on you to return to the van, because they all returned on time. If you want to return to the van at a time you choose, then a private tour may be better for you.

Beautiful fall colors and waterfalls

Juli_W, Oct 2025

Trena_S, Aug 2025
Excellent half day tour if you don't have time to see as much as you like, this tour packs in a lot in a short time! And you don't have to drive so you can really look at all the views. I would say this is a MUST for people who've never been to this area before.

Marc_S, Jul 2025
Great combo of local Portland and PNW knowledge, incredible views, and multiple stops to add variety. And, our master of ceremonies, Garrett, was amazing. He also went above and beyond to help when we inadvertently left something on the tour van. Thanks Garrett.

Our tour guide, Rob, was fantastic! He filled the time with interesting facts especially for those of us who love history and story telling! The sites on the trip were phenomenal and Rob even took pictures for anyone who wanted at one of the falls! Rob also gave us details about the different sections of Portland and restaurants/sites to see while there. Definitely check this out if you can!

Rob Guild was very knowledgeable about the area. He was very courteous. He provided water and kept the ac running in the van as it was a very uncomfortable 96 degrees…the heat was very unusual for Portland.
