5.00We were looking for a fun activity and this was exactly what we needed. It was informative, interesting- often intriguing, beautiful scenery and a very comfortable ride as well. Damon was so well informed, kind, inclusive, made the tour so fun and was a load of information about the areas we visited. My mom was visiting me from out of town and I live in Portland as of recently and he gave us both so much insight into this fantastic city that I would have never known about otherwise. I would do a tour again and will book another just to get more insight into the area as well as enjoy another experience with this tour group. Great and HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thanks so much !

5.00Really lovely 1/2 trip around Portland. Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us some interesting local sites and explained the history well. Covered a lot of the city without too much time in between stops and plenty of narrative along the way. Would definitely recommend for first time visitors to Portland.
