***WHAT TO BRING*** It's always a good idea to bring a layer or two for warmth, a good rain jacket, good walking or hiking shoes (& a hat and gloves in winter) on all tours as the climate is often variable in Oregon and our tour itineraries often vary widely in elevation and micro-climate. We provide light snacks (granola bars) and waters. We always encourage travelers to bring their own refillable water bottle (full) if they have one with them while they're traveling (ex: Nalgene, Clean Kanteen, Hydroflask, etc...) to reduce our plastic consumption and our impact on the planet. Feel free to bring more snacks if you'd like. Full day tours have a lunch stop (lunch is at guest's own expense) and 1/2 day tours do NOT have a lunch stop.
*NOTE - Our vans cannot accommodate large suitcases (but a small day pack, purse or similar is fine, as long as it can sit at your feet on the floor during the tour).

Adam was the best! I thoroughly enjoyed a guide that was born and raised in the city. He kept my attention and answered all my questions along the way. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Adam was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and personable. There was a small group which made it feel much more inviting, especially since I was traveling solo! Highly recommend this tour. I found places that I didn't know anything about that I'll be visiting now!
I loved all the sites we saw in Portland. So much history and so much information. It was nicely done with our wonderful tour guide , TJ.
TJ had so much knowledge of the city, it was exactly what I wanted to see and hear. We had a wonderful time and I don’t think we missed much of the city. The conversation was like talking with a friend rather than a guide. I learned a lot sbout Portland and hope to come back some day.
TJ, our tour guide, made us feel like we are a part of the city and shared numerous stories and detailed history of Portland. He took us to so many places that we would have never found on our own being first time visitors. Highly suggest this tour.
Portland is an incredibly creative liberal free, thinking environment with such beautiful buildings and public spaces. I highly recommend visiting here at least once in your life.
