Highly recommended tour when you visit Columbia Gorge River and Highway 30. Peter was very informative. We saw a number of waterfalls aside from Multnomah as well as some hidden gems like the Bridal Veil Post Office.

What a super afternoon tour. Peter was so knowledgeable, pointing out features you’d never notice passing by, and providing fascinating insights into the history, ecology and geology of the area. Packed in a lot, but the pace felt relaxed. The 60 mile panorama of the Columbia river viewed from Vista Point was incredible.

Peter was so generous with his information about the area which we totally appreciated. The tour was beautiful, hitting all the falls and the viewpoint on top. Comfy van and a perfect half day.

Pete was an absolute gem of a tour guide. His knowledge about the city of Portland and the falls was top-notch. As a nature lover, I try to visit beautiful places wherever I go and this tour provided that. We visited more waterfalls than I'd expected and the scenery there and driving up the mountain was impeccable. I can't recommend the Columbia River enough.

Amazing sights, even the smaller waterfalls were so pretty and peaceful. The view from the Vista was unbelievable...so was the wind! ...

Peter was fantastic! Highway 30 was cool. Each of the falls were super in their own distinct way. Everyone should go!!!

We booked a 4 hour private tour when our cruise boats excursion was full. What a treat to have Peter, our own private guide take us on a 4+hour tour to where we wanted, as long as we wanted, skip what we wanted, etc. What a tremendously knowledgable guide Peter was. Wow! Great voice, great knowledge, great stories, great flexibility. I would highly recommend.
