Downtown Portland, Oregon extends west from the Willamette River to Interstate 405, and south from the Union Station train depot to just south of the Portland State University campus. High-density business and residential towers rise into the skies of Oregon's largest city and metropolitan area where bustling highways and roadways converge to maintain the demands of commerce and tourism. With a network of public transport light-rail train stations, trams, streetcars, and pedi-cabs, the city is vibrant, unique, and awesome in a way only Portland can be. Surrounded by hills to the west, a river populated by numerous bridges, and a breathtaking view of Mt. Hood to the east, Portland is one of America's favorite cities.

We did a Willamette Valley wine tour. It was our second of the weekend. We had a wonderful time and the mother-daughter tandem we toured with were great. Peter, the son, was a wealth of knowledge and I believe we all had a great day. The only downside was none of the wineries had any wine skins available to purchase so we could ship our wine home. They, the wineries, need to step up.

Chris was filling in for Marcus on our tour, and we had an amazing time! My parents were visiting Oregon from the East Coast for the first time, and I wanted them to see a different side of Oregon. Chris dazzled us with his impressive knowledge of the region, as well as the science and artistry involved in winemaking in the Willamette Valley. The drive was beautiful and we saw three wineries, each off the beaten track and each with their own unique personalities. The landscapes were breathtaking, and we became experts in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Lunch was from Elephants Delicatessen in Portland and really hit the spot - my boyfriend and I will definitely go there for ourselves sometime. It was a great way to relax, learn more about Willamette Valley, and spend time with family, all under the guidance of a friendly and approachable expert. A perfect way to convince my parents to move out West.

Excellent tour, friendly, prompt, knowledgeable, and able to accommodate me last minute..thank you! I could not have asked for more. The falls just opened the day before my arrival in Portland and the previous tour I had set up did not answer my repeated phone calls to verify pick up and even told me by email the falls were closed so I was left scrambling. I was so excited to see the falls as I had planned months ago. Having a private tour was very nice and the price was very reasonable. If I ever have the opportunity to come to Portland again I will definitely seek this company first. The owner grew up here and is the 2nd oldest touring company here. He will make your tour special for sure

We had the privilege of taking a tour of the entire Columbia River Gorge, and it is certainly breathtaking what Mother Nature has carved out. If you're looking to take your foot off the gas pedal, and exit off the proverbial fast lane of life, the Columbia River would certainly be a good destination for you!
