The whole trip was perfect! David was great and provided just the right blend of humor and facts as he guided us through the Columbia River Gorges waterfalls. We were thrilled to see the amazing power up close. He never rushed us but kept us moving for a really awesome afternoon!

I LOVE WATERFALLS!! This tour did not disappoint! Our tour guide, Mel, was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. It turned out just to be our group on the tour so Mel made sure we got to spend the time we wanted at each site, obliged in taking pictures and made recommendations for the best views and trails. Even though the weather was a bit dreary I would still highly recommend doing this tour rain or shine.
