A little slice of the best of everything

I wanted to do this, but I didn’t want tbe driving or planning and wanted company. This was awesome. The tour guide was knowledgeable, a great driver, and the tour included the perfect spots to capture both amazing photos and a slice of the best of the local experiences like fruit growers and breweries. What a great day!

Waterfalls, Overlooks, Orchards and Mt. Hood

We (couple) had a great day with our tour guide, John, in spite of the cloudy and sometimes rainy weather. We were conveniently picked up at our downtown Portland hotel and experienced several beautiful waterfalls and gorge overlooks along the route. We really enjoyed the post lunch stop at Packer Orchards and purchased breakfast for the next morning. Mt. Hood didn't cooperate with long range views due to the cloudy day but still loved getting to see historic Timberline Lodge. John was very informative and answered many questions about the economics of the area such as farming, wineries, logging, etc. He was also very conscious of making sure we all got in and out of the van safely, etc. The tour provided a great opportunity to explore the area outside of Portland without having to drive.

Great Tiur

A beautiful excursion through the Columbia Gorge. Lots of stops, time to stretch your legs. Our tour guide/driver John really had great insight and information about the area. Our favorite stop was at the Timberline Hotel, really takes you back in time. I'd highly recommend this tour!
