The driver and guide were both very friendly and knowledgeable. There was a lot of Portland to see. Taking pictures was challenging due to the bars and straps around the canopy, as well as the speed we were going in several spots.
Good concept but not worth the money

Nice people. Good concept. However, there's not really much to see and the execution is lacking. For example, the narration of the tour guide and the driver is out of sync. Also, the narration content doesn't seem well researched. Another example, and probably the toughest to fix, is a lot of the things to see isn't ideal to see from the street. Overall, not really worth the money.
