High recommended tour with guide Chuck

5.00It was an amazing experience with guide Chuck! Came here on a birthday solo trip and met two great companions along the journey. Water and umbrellas were provided and the Benz minivan was cozy. Chuck is very passionate, professional, and responsive during the whole journey. We learned much about Portland in general and the sites we went to historically and geographically. He gave great recommendations for the restaurants too :) Despite of the rainy and cloudy weather which made visibility for Mt. Hood rather poor, we successfully get to all other sceneries and it was great pacing and balance of driving & checking out the sites & lunch break. There were very few people yesterday due to weather change.
The stops and scenery...

4.00We had a great time on our excursion in late October. The sights were amazing and it was an unforgettable day. I will say, it was the perfect amount of time at each stop to take in the landscape without feeling rushed. One thing that could have been better was our tour guide. She was not that friendly and didn’t not engage with us as a group. There was another tour from Wildwood and that tour guide was snapping pictures of the group and engaging with them. Also, people in our group were SUPER talkative when our guide was talking and it would have been nice if she could have politely asked them to not talk while she was giving her information over the headset. All in all the day trip was worth the money, great sites and everything was on time. Wanted more from the guide.
Amazing Experience!

5.00This was definitely a trip worth taking! Our tour guide was very informative and she was so positive despite us going in the middle of rain. All the waterfalls we went to were absolutely gorgeous! She takes the time to really provide almost a one on one experience. She was super prepared with everything despite the weather for us. Umbrellas, cold water and even rain coats if we needed. Definitely take this trip if you can the views are absolutely amazing.
Recomended!

5.00Absolutely brilliant tour, only 5 of us on the tour as the firm ran 2 buses rather than squash too many people in the transport. Long enough at every stop. The driver was informative and amusing.
