Good alternative if you want a quick overview of Portland. Fun to be on fire truck. Narration was informative but delivery missed the mark due to difficulty in knowing what was fact and what was an attempt at humor that the narrator didn’t want to say.

Very informative trip around the area with locals. I always prefer excursion with local residents giving the history. They were able to answer all of our questions and give us information about the history of the area. The weather wasn't perfect to see everything out in the bay, but it was still beautiful.
