5.00Covered a lot of ground- saw from the sea to the town! We had a little more time because it was just two of us on the tour. Katie was very knowledgeable about the area, was flexible to our interests, and had lots of little meaningful "additions" that were an excellent touch. I highly recommend this company!
Excellent tour operators, Kate took us around to off the beaten path areas of Astoria

5.00Our cruise stopped in Astoria and we booked this tour for its local operators. Easy to walk to the meeting point we hopped on our tour mini van with Kate and headed to the beach for amazing views and photo opportunities, we got to gather a bit of the shimmering sand in tiny corked bottles provided by Kate, such a fun memento. Moving onto other points like Fort Stevens, The Astoria Column where you could walk up to the top and fly a provided paper airplane off the side. We ended up at the Goonies house while others went to see the seals or downtown shops. The snack break of jalapeño salmon dip was a refreshing touch. As a parting gift we all received a sand dollar to take home. Thanks Onward Excursions for the memories
Very disorganized with a Brand new Guide

3.00We had an unusual experience because we had a brand new guide. She was very nice but had no knowledge of the area and was unable to answer most questions. Everyone was very nice and tried their best to accommodate but missed rhe mark. We were split into groups and I think the other group had a better more experienced guide..
Enjoyable experience

5.00We had an amazing time with our guide Katie from Onward Adventures, who is passionate and knowledgeable about her community of Astoria. She had great stories and good tips. She was very helpful and accommodating and tailored the tour to our and others needs. She helped the group break ice and enjoy each other's company. We particularly enjoyed the Astoria Column and its amazing view, the drive-around tour of Astoria's great homes and the city's unique history, and the 1906 shipwreck of the Peter Iredale. We learned a lot more about Astoria's rich history than we imagined was there. It made us want tio come back to Astoria for more. The tour was great value for the money.
Fun!!
