5.00Our tour guide, David, was amazing! He provided great customer service—very knowledgeable, kind, and you can tell he truly enjoys what he does. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and we stopped at several breathtaking waterfalls along the way. We were a party of four with our two daughters, and they loved every minute of it. Highly recommend this tour when visiting Portland! Cinthya California
