Bikes, Bites & a Bit of Booze
I honestly had not been on a bike in a "minute" so was a tad worried I would not be able to keep up. Seconds after meeting Kelly--our amazing guide--I was put at ease. She had us pick out out bike and helmet and test everything out, including a mini-ride around the parking lot to get comfortable. And then we were off! To bike around this beautiful city, while stopping for yummy food along the way. What could be more fun? And having Kelly as our guide was the icing on the cake (or the whipped cream on the waffle--you'll know what I mean once you go!). She was so informative about all things Portland...the different areas, the culture, the people. the food. We have returned to many of the places we visited. We left with full bellies and minds. It was truly a lovely way to spend four hours on a Saturday and such a great value for the money (just don't forget to tip...the guides work hard). My husband and I will be forever grateful she told us about Dove Vi Vi (not on the tour) as it has become a fave. We cannot wait to do more tours with this company (and hopefully Kelly).
10/10 amazing for families
Repeat! This is our second time taking this bike/ food cart tour when we passed through Portland. It is still my 11 year olds favorite thing in the city. Kelly, our guide, was AMAZING! Her passion for food, the city, and biking is infectious. I feel like this is a great way to explore what can be an intimidating city for the uninitiated. Thank you and we will keep this experience in our back pocket whenever we are spending time in Portland. 10/10. Cannot recommend enough.
A not to miss experience!
What a delicious and delightful tour! Our tour was on a Monday and it was just my husband and I. Lucky us! Kelly was a fantastic guide--engaging, energetic and fun. We felt safe the entire time, learned a lot about the city of Portland and visited food truck pods we didn't even know existed. The food was all very good, biking was at a great pace and we couldn't believe how quickly the day went. Would most definitely do again. Highly recommend!
Fun way to see Portland
We did the bike tour on our last day in Portland and had so much fun. Our guide Kelly was funny, informative and had such good energy. She took us to some really good pod carts where we tried different yummy foods and the bike tour around the neighborhoods was fun and at a good pace. Totally recommend this tour.
Fun and filling!
Kelly and Austin were great guides! I felt very safe while riding and all the food was fabulous (and there was SO MUCH)! Kelly also provided interesting history and facts about food carts and neighborhoods. Austin gave us some great tips of things to do for the rest of our visit too. Perfect tour!
