This is a great condensed trip to see the major sites outside Portland. Learn the history of the area. Not break a sweat or dirty a white shoe while getting to several top rated falls and look out points. Worth the money. John our guild was very good with the history and the folk lore as well as some sad parts about recent fires that hurt the region.

5 Stars for Rob & a Beautiful Half-Day in the Gorge!

Our half-day tour out of Portland in a comfortable van was incredible from start to finish! What truly elevated the experience was our fantastic guide, Rob. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, and his genuine happiness to help and clear enjoyment of his job brought a wonderful energy to the entire trip. The scenery was stunning. Stopping at the historic Vista House offered breathtaking panoramic views, and the waterfalls were completely amazing. The absolute standouts were the massive Multnomah Falls, the unique Latourell Falls, and the peaceful beauty of Shepperd’s Dell Falls. I highly recommend this tour!
