First, hop on a comfortable, guided Portland shuttle tour and experience the best of this dynamic city. From the bustling streets of downtown to the lush, groovy neighborhoods on the east side, this guided tour of Portland offers the perfect blend of urban exploration and natural beauty.

​

As you cruise through iconic districts - including Old Town, the Pearl District, the Cultural District, and the Government District - your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating stories about Portland’s evolution from dense forest to wild western town to the vibrant, progressive city it is today.

​

A highlight of this Portland city tour is a stop at the Historic Pittock Acres, where you can stroll beautiful mansion grounds and enjoy panoramic views of the city and Mt. Hood. You'll also visit the world-famous International Rose Test Garden, home to over 300 varieties of roses. It's an immersive experience that makes this a top thing to do in Portland.

​​

Your Portland sightseeing tour continues across the city’s iconic truss bridge, offering spectacular river views, before exploring the eclectic east side. Here, you’ll find a mix of historic landmarks and up-and-coming neighborhoods that reflect the city's creativity and charm.

​​

Then after a lunch break, we'll escape the city on a day trip from Portland, Oregon, to the stunning and majestic Columbia River Gorge. This Columbia River Gorge waterfall tour follows the historic highway - a marvel of early 20th-century engineering - offering unforgettable views and a deep dive into the region’s natural and cultural heritage.

​​​​

We'll make a scenic stop at Women’s Forum Park, where you’ll take in panoramic vistas and learn about the Gorge’s storied past. Then, visit the iconic Vista House at Crown Point, a historic observatory with two levels of breathtaking views and a charming gift shop stocked with local treasures.

​​

Next, prepare to be awed by Multnomah Falls, Oregon’s most famous waterfall. Feel the cool mist as you walk the stone bridge between the cascades, and capture the perfect photo of this natural wonder, often called the “crown jewel” of the Gorge. Visit the historic inn (100 years old this year!), discovery center, a gift shop (no sales tax in Oregon!), or grab a cup of locally roasted coffee.

​​​​

Next you'll visit Latourell Falls, in lush woods, where water plunges past cloud basalt in a stunning display! Then we'll visit additional waterfalls along the corridor, making our choices based on weather and traffic. All the while, you'll enjoy commentary from your expert guide and discover hidden gems tucked among ancient trees.
