    Peter was spectacular. He knows so much about the city. He gave us fun up-to-date facts and interesting history. It was exciting from start to finish.

    Best city tour in under four hours

    Bala_s, Jul 2025
    Peter was a terrific tour guide, a walking encyclopedia of the city, full of fun facts about the history of the city, and with a deep resonant voice just captivates you. A must tour for those who want to get a sense of the city in few hours before exploring it further on their own.

    Perfect way to explore all of Portland!

    Mary_M, Jun 2025
    We had an exceptional private tour of Portland with Eric! It was the perfect way to explore the city. Eric's extensive knowledge of Portland, its history, and various neighborhoods made for an informative and enjoyable experience. We began with a city loop, then made several stops, including the Pittock Mansion (which has the best view of the city), the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, and Voodoo Donuts for a delicious treat. There is so much to see in Portland, and Eric's tour gave us plenty of ideas for what to explore on a future visit. Thank you for an insightful and fun tour of this beautiful city!

    Fun tour guide

    I was impressed with the City of Portland and feel that it would be a good place to live especially after visiting the parks and Voodoo Donuts.

    Awesome Tour and Ride

    Maggie_R, Sep 2024
    What an amazing day! First we were picked up at the front door of our hotel in a lovely and very comfortable vehicle. The day was made so special because Peter our tour guide is a Portland native and was able to let us see Portland from his eyes. I felt like I was visiting Portland with a friend. Of course we saw all the Portland Highlights, but my favorite was the elementary school which was converted into a hotel. Thank you Peter for a wonderful tour and a great ride !!

    We had an excellent time on our Portland half day city tour! Peter was so knowledgeable and entertaining; we came away with a better understanding of the city’s history and a few ideas for additional sites to visit. I cannot recommend this tour enough, I truly felt like it was worth the time and ticket price.
