Around Portland Tours

I can only say good things about this tour company and our guide, Carrie. The Columbia River Gorge Falls tour was nearly cancelled due to bad weather, but it cleared enough for us to proceed. Although it was still a rainy day and I was pretty wet by the end of the tour, I had a fantastic time. Carrie was a wonderful guide, sharing the history and stories about the area and the Gorge. I would definitely use this tour group for other tours, should I come back to the Portland area.

If you're visiting Portland for the first time, or are spending any time in the city, this is a great opportunity to see some of the scenic nature areas out to the east. We had an amazing time on this tour, and our tour guide Ana was super friendly and shared a great amount of information about the city's history and main sites! We saw several waterfalls, got great pictures, and had a wonderful time overall. Ana had water and snacks for us as well, which was a great touch!

I highly recommend this company for tours. I Loved this particular one, all the waterfalls were beautiful. We learned a lot about the city of Portland and about the stunning landscape surrounding it. Carrie is a wealth of knowledge and it’s obvious she loves her job, couldn’t ask for a best tour guide. Next time we are in Portland I’d love to take another tour with her that involves biking or involves trying Portland food. Thanks for a great day!

Ana was a spectacular tour guide and took our waterfall tour above and beyond. I anticipated getting an affordable ride to many scenic locations, but they filled our tour with many amazing facts and history surrounding Portland. Really a 10/10 part of our trip.

We did the Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Half-Day Hiking Tour with Ana as our guide and we were very happy with our experience! This was our first of three tours around Portland and we were a little nervous about finding the right place, so we messaged about the meeting point and got a response right away. On the day, we showed up where there was a little bit of rain, and there were recommendations of what to do and where to eat while we waited for our tour to start. The weather cleared up on the way to the gorge, and Ana was sure to give us information about how to best use our time at the different stops along the way. We didn’t feel rushed or anything and the ride was a comfortable one complete with some light snacks and water provided on the van for those who needed them. For the price, I’d highly recommend any of Around Portland tours, and Ana was a great guide to have on this particular trip.

Just finished a tour with Ana. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell she really appreciates nature and the landmarks we visited. Would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the magical sights of Portland while learning the history behind it all.

Spent a wonderful afternoon, 2pm tour, exploring the waterfalls in the Columbia Gorge. The Mercedes Sprinter tour van was comfortable with super cold air conditioning during this hot summer! Our guide Anna was informative, friendly, and helpful. Location was easy to find with the directions provided. Street parking and lot parking available near the meet up location. Bottled water and trail mix snacks were an unexpected surprise. Great experience.

My mom and I had a great time! Angela, our guide, was very kind, accommodating, knowledgeable and patient. My dad had to stay behind but my mom and I still enjoyed the tour. The tour lasted for about 3 hours and we rode about 7-8 miles. There were only a few inclines but they were not steep or long, mostly across the small bridges. Angela mentioned she never does the same route, it’s always different according to our needs and what we’d like to see/places we’d like to visit. She was so knowledgeable about everything and included funny facts, things you didn’t plan on knowing but intriguing nonetheless! It was an equal amount of riding and stopping. Definitely a must if you have a family and want to enjoy riding around and learning a little bit about the place you’re visiting. Also great if you just want to ride around but don’t want to go alone! There’s a couple pit stops (we went to get ice cream) and feel free to bring water, if not, they will provide a bottle of water if you don’t have it. Helmets are clean and provided. Bikes run smooth and are comfortable 🚲😊✌️

A bit late and behind, but I've got to give a shoutout to Susan from Around Portland Tour! If you're planning a trip to Portland (OR), I highly recommend doing the tour at the start of your trip--not the end--because now I have to come back just to follow up on other "tidbits and records " she shared on the history of Portland's parks and recreation scenes. The tour kicks off by meeting up at a red building--easiest to find if you're walking just outside the perimeter. Look for a small black signage on the door. The owner usually leaves the door unlocked in the morning hours so look for benches set up for you to seat and wait for your group. Susan, our guide, is a Portland native who left for college and returned back to Portland. She gave us some great bonus insights beyond the standard tour -- like history of the places, including local tycoons, how roads were funded and how each section of the districts were divided. More importantly , she suggested a ghost tour and highly recommend to try biking around town--definitely on my list for next time!

I booked this experience through Airbnb experience on September 14th, my birthday. It was the first time in 16 years that I was traveling alone on my birthday. My train also left at 2:22pm so I also made sure to message them to see if I would make it back on time. I didn't get to see the Japanese Garden, Lansu Chinese Garden or The Grotto, but I was at peace knowing I was going to go to the Columbia River Gorge & Mutnomah Falls. I took the bus from my hotel and walked to their red and white building. They let us use the restroom and off to the shuttle and Colombia River Gorge we went. I had Carrie as a driver and she let me ride shotgun. It started raining on the way there. Carrie was kind, sweet and knowledgeable. Not only that, she managed her time very well. She let us know that The Columbia River Gorge has enough rain to be considered a rainforest, she took us to all of the stunning waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge- I hope i can remember them all- Sheperd's Dell Falls which was an amazing first stop. We then went to Vista House at Crown Point which was the most amazing view. I feel like if I died and went to Heaven, that view would be it. She fed us knowledge about the Latourell family and hiked with us, telling us the history about the trees, the edible plants & talked about Big Foot. In enjoyed hearing the story about the Kraft House. This was a perfect semi ending to my day. My three favorite sceneries was Bridalveil falls (will remember to bring my inhaler next time), Vista House at Crown Point and of course, the bread and butter, Mutnomah Falls. I even got a few gifts from my nieces from the gift shop. On our way back, Carrie pointed out that there was a food pod called the Hawthorne Asylum just 2 blocks from our tour pick up and drop off. So I was excited because we got into town around 1pm and although I was cutting it close, I was going to eat at a Portland Food Pod or food court. Pictures do not do this tour justice. It was definitely worth it and I got to befriend my group. I participated got along well with Ashley who was traveling with her mom and met some people from out of the country. Thank you, thank you, thank you Carrie and Around Portland Tours for not letting me spend my 41st alone! I hope to see y'all again!

We had a wonderful time with Carrie & Around Portland Tours. I originally booked through Tripadvisor and contacted Around Portland Tours to reschedule because of the weather. This was easy to do. I booked the morning 4-hour Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge tour. Day of the tour, I met Carrie and the others who booked the same session and once it hit 8:00 AM we set for the first stop. Carrie was fun, informative, and a great guide. She knew so much about the local area, plant life, and environmental history that I felt she made the tour much better. The trails for this specific hike were short and we had more than enough time to take photos and sight-see. Carrie also had water bottles and snacks in case anyone needed something. Since I came from out of town and did not rent a car, this was a fantastic tour. It was nice not having to worry about parking or coordinating a schedule and just enjoy nature.

If you are looking for a bike tour or even curious about whether Portland is the right place for you, this is your tour group. We did the coffee and donut tour by the end we felt like we knew more about businesses and the neighborhood and like we were riding around with friends. We also did the mural and city art tour, learning more about Portland. They have nice bikes to use, helmets of various sizes and make sure our needs were met. Down to the tour leader making sure to Have a cutting board so we could divide donuts and everyone enjoy them.

Absolutely incredible experience!! We truly had such a wonderful time, Edwin and Sarah were so supportive setting us up with bike and bike attachments. Having realized my kids weren't quite ready to securely ride 6-8 miles, it was true relief to experience the ease of transitioning to the bikes we had. They were so informative about the businesses and most of all we felt safe traveling together and feeling 'protected' as a group.

My husband and I did the waterfall tour today and it was incredible from start to finish! We had Ana touring us around the waterfalls and she was spectacular! Her energy was so warm and welcoming. She also was so insightful on the ins and outs of Portland. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

I'm SO glad we did this. Kelly, our guide, was so knowledgeable about Portland. We got to see neighborhoods known for their rose gardens, stopped for ice cream, went over a ton of different bridges, and sections of the city. This is a PERFECT tour for folks of all ages. Leisurely pace, so picturesque, many different areas of Portland, and the guide had so much historical information that was weaved into the three hour tour. You will not be disappointed if you do this! Go, go, go!! Worth every penny.

Amazing tour! I signed a group of high schoolers and myself up for the awesome street bike tour and it was phenomenal. Austin was awesome! So knowledgeable and fun!

My daughter and I took the 2 hour walking tour in December and learned SO much. I'm a born Oregonian and highly recommend this adventure. Easy walk, sidewalks and streets, nothing overwhelming. Our guide, Shannon, was entertaining and informative-- very helpful and passionate about the city and historic information. Recommend for any local as well as tourist.

Great tour today! Anna was incredibly knowledgeable about the forest, gorge, and all things woodsy. I'd definitely recommend her. On our Zen Waterfall hike, it was mostly easy hikes which was welcomed along with cool learning about the area. It was just enough hiking to feel like I got a light workout, especially one strenuous one at the end. Good traction shoes needed. *And they provide free water and snacks. Wonderful when you're thirsty from your exploring,

We enjoyed the half day bike and hike tour with Angela. The tour was well thought through logistically with minimal time in the car and maximum time seeing waterfalls. We saw four waterfalls and loved the rolling hills biking. Angela was super customer oriented making sure everyone felt comfortable and for those that felt a little ticketed out, she welcomed them happily in the car. I think everyone enjoyed the trip! Thanks, Angela!!

I did the 2-hour bike tour last week with Around Portland Tours - it was absolutely fantastic. Austin, who was our tour guide was simply phenomenal. He was friendly, humorous, inclusive and most of all, he did not keep us out for 2-hours alone but made sure we don't miss anything and asked us for availability if he could spend extra time showing us as much as possible. The bikes were in good condition - we got a helmet and a bottle of water. All in all this was a lovely way to see parts of Portland that I would never otherwise walk around to see especially all the street art. Thank you Austin!

We had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this wonderful company.

While in town for a conference last week, my husband and I booked the Walk, bike and hike tour to see the waterfalls and the gorge. When booking in advance, I was already super nervous because I have not ridden a bike in years nor am I physically active enough to ride a bike...but why not go for the experience?!?! We found the meet up location pretty easily and got set up with helmets and bikes. Each bike had a name so that we could always remember which one was ours. Felipe helped get us set up and made sure the bike seats were correctly placed, especially for me since I am super short. But he made it work. There were 2 other couples along for the with us so this was a nice small group. Felipe got all our bikes on the van and took us out on the 30 minute drive to the gorge. Along the way, he was sharing stories of Portland with us and pointed out some of the gorgeous scenery along the way. He was super knowledgeable of all things Portland. When we arrived to the first waterfall, we got out and he explained the bikes to us and told us what to expect of the next few miles of biking. Honestly, I was very overwhelmed, but I knew I couldn't give up. The first few minutes riding with the group wasn't too bad. But then my legs gave out and I knew I couldn't do it much longer. Damn those hills. I had to get off and walk a bit, and then I was able to get back on and ride to catch up with the group. Felipe had the group waiting for me at the first stop and gave us time to get situated. I was grateful that the group all seemed to be understanding even though I felt terrible. Felipe was even doing such a good job at cheering me on and encouraging me. I know I was slowing the group down, but I kept going and I was pushing myself in ways I never imagined. I felt like I was on the "Biggest Loser" and I could not quit! Throughout the day, Felipe was sharing with us stories of the waterfalls and the way he took us to each of them was just incredible. I feel like we got a special tour and learned so much about everything. The "hiking" part was not too bad for me since I am a much better walker than biker so whenever we arrived to a location, I was super quick to get off the bike and start walking to the falls. I absolutely loved this experience and got such great photos. He took us to 4 falls total + a place called Vista House. Each stop along the way was better than that last. I absolutely would love to visit during the spring/summer so that I can have a picnic by the falls and hop into the water to cool off. Honestly, these places were so magical. At the end of the trip, Felipe brought us back to the shop and pointed out some good spots for food/drinks while we were in town. Honestly, I did not feel like someone on a tour with a stranger; I felt like Felipe was just a friend who lived locally and was showing me around. We did bring our own water bottles, but Felipe had some extras when we needed them. He also provided some snacks and trail mix for when we got hungry. Huge perk! Note: I do think that this course is manageable for someone who is active and comfortable on a bike. But, I would not choose this adventure again just because the biking part was challenging to me. Would I do the entire thing again as a walking/hiking adventure? Absolutely!

We had such a great time with Carrie! We did the afternoon 4 hour Multnomah Falls & Columbia River Gorge tour and definitely recommend. Carrie was a great tour guide and knew so much about the local plant life and areas. Lots of times for pictures and trails are short.

Fabulous waterfall hike and van adventure! Angela was the perfect guide; sweet, funny, and very knowledgeable. We visited five falls, with enough time at each to hike in for a closer look. (Nothing too strenuous or dangerous.) Angela watched out for our group like a mother hen, counting her chicks. She piloted the Mercedes Sprinter van like a pro and shared her knowledge and understanding with us before each stop. Thanks, Angela!

I booked the 'Best of the City' small group walking tour for 10 a.m. The tour company provided basic information including that we were to meet at Director Park at 10 a.m. 'at the chess board'. We had to circle the block to confirm our best parking option (a garage under an office tower / movie theater across the street). The elevator from the garage brings you up into a small glass 'room' in the park itself. However, the door is one-way and we found out later that you need a key-card to access it again. This resulted in a short adventure in finding another way back in, which I detailed in a separate review of the garage. There are no public restrooms in the area around the park. You can go to a coffee shop and make a purchase, if necessary. Our guide was also able to suggest options. The chess board was a large one and easily found. There were no giant chess pieces when we went, but maybe you have to check them out later in the day (?). Our group of 8 - 9 assembled on time and we set out. Our guide was good. She had lived in the city for some time, and was knowledgeable about the history (ancient and recent). We stopped at relevant historic sites and checked out the exterior of some notable architectural highlights. These ranged from large murals, an art museum, the local history museum, a large performing arts venue from the 1930s, and an office tower. It lasted about 2 hours and I never felt bored. One issue the guide had to deal with was occasional homeless people crossing paths with the group. These were not generally a problem, but one guy did come across as potentially dangerous (screaming obscenities, hostile, etc.). We diverted a bit to avoid him. Another lady may or may not have been yelling at our group - it was hard to tell. This was not unexpected. The only other area which I thought was treated...obliquely was the rioting within the last couple of years. Someone asked about why a couple of buildings had their ground floors covered with plywood. The answer? The buildings have been mostly empty due to Covid. Ok, but why the plywood? I assume it was not put up to keep the virus out... I can sympathize to a degree, as it is in their interest to put a somewhat positive spin on Portland; the point of the tour isn't to highlight the city's problems, and I get that. Overall, I thought this was a good introduction to the downtown area.

The guides for Around Portland are great, and really easy and fun to cycle and talk with. Kelly was my guide for Bike Around Portland. She was awesome and super knowledgable about all things Portland. A guided bike tour is definitely the way the way to do it. Angela guided the Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls tour, cool and also super knowledgeable about the Gorge, it's history, geology, everything. And of course Portland too. Cycling near the river on the scenic road, bombing through the trees and seeing the waterfalls and historic structures... go experience it!

When traveling, we want to take a walking tour to learn about important historical and cultural aspects of a city. Rowan, our Around Portland Tours guide, is such an excellent storyteller. He extemporaneously discusses the relevant historical and cultural aspects of Portland. He discussed how Portland was named "Portland", how Portland got their various nicknames, such as Stump town, Mud town and the Rose City. He pointed out the different statues, such as Rebecca with her back racing the Arlington Club. The Benson Bubblers or quadruple fountains continuously flows water and are cleaned daily. The 2 hour tour was worth the time and money, especially with Rowan guiding us. Thumbs up, High Five and Kudos to Rowan and Around Portland Tours.

This bike tour was absolutely incredible! Our tour guide, Anna, was incredibly friendly, upbeat, and knowledgeable. She seemed to know someone everywhere we went which really enhances the experience. We got to chat with lots of locals due to her friendly personality. We learned so much about Portland and got a really authentic experience. I loved learning about local life, the history of Portland, and all about the eco-friendly ideology. So many cool and sustainable features! We got to bike around and we stopped at a delicious French pastry shop as well as a rose garden. The tour was beautiful, the pastries were absolutely delicious, and the rose garden was gorgeous! We got to smell several types of roses and we saw the oldest plot of roses in Oregon. Such a cool experience! We had the best time and highly recommend booking with them if you're wanting to explore/learn about Portland!!

We did the half day Columbia Gorge and waterfall hiking tour, and it was amazing! It was just enough time (4.5 hrs) that it didn't take up a whole day, the sprinter van was clean and comfortable, and the sights were breathtaking! We visited Multnomah Falls, Horsetail Falls, Wahkeena Falls, and Vista House! Our guide Filppco was awesome and friendly and a great photographer! He took photos for a bunch of us on the tour! Very interesting and informative! This was definitely the way to go if you are a bit short on time. Great overview of some amazing natural sites!

We took the bike and hike Columbia river gorge with sara and Edwin. They are the coolest and most prepared guides. Very knowledgeable about nature, history and biking. Matti the owner is super friendly and helpful. They recommended us to go to a coffee shop that had the best croissant sandwich I ever had and made fast coffee. Quality bikes compared to other companies. No more stuck gears. The bike n hike tour: you can read about this on their website. We rode out in a van to Columbia river gorge area and saw several waterfalls, beautiful vistas. We biked most all downhill 5 miles. Hiked approx 2 miles loop and more short walking at multinomah falls. Some non bikers are also on this scenic tour. The perk of taking the tour includes not having to rent a car. You also don't have to wait in a line of 30-40 cars for parking at popular multinomah falls on a Wednesday (can u imagine weekend?) We were in and out quick. In summer they offer this tour at 8:30a and 2:30p. In winter, it's only in the morning. I highly suggest the morning one. Edwin and sara gave us a great start to our vacation in Portland. We enjoyed every second of the tour, all the beautiful sceneries and the incredible downhill bike ride on the gorge highway.

Portland, Oregon is progressive on many fronts -- including its bicycling efforts. In short, it's a bicyclist's dream with miles of protected bike lanes taking you from neighborhood to neighborhood. But what is it like as a local? And more importantly, is there someone who could show us around its many hidden neighborhoods? Otherwise, I'm not afraid to admit it, I'd totally get us lost. That's when I came across Around Portland Tours, which offers a wide range of tour options, including bike tours through the Columbia River Gorge to rides through Portland's east side to visit its famed food carts. We ended up going with their popular "Bike Around Portland Tour" -- a 3 hour ride through the neighborhoods Portlanders love the most. Okay, and it also included a doughnut stop. This pretty much convinced me it was the best tour for us. Negative calories I say! Around Portland bike tours and their east side walking tours start at their shop at 833 SE Main Street #120. As a LA resident, I'm obsessed with parking. And it couldn't be any easier here. There is plenty of free street parking. Score! After a brief intro, we were fitted with bikes and helmets. Sarah, who began the tour company 4 years ago, has been a bicycle evangelist for nearly 20 years. She's a storyteller at heart -- honing her skills from a long tradition of writing, from literary essays to a rich blogging career and a strong background in journalism. Ironically, our originally scheduled guide, Ana, was stuck in traffic due to -- of all things -- bicyclists blocking the way. Oh yes, you know you're in Portland! Portland's annual Bridge Pedal is a community celebration of the city's iconic bridges and biking culture. Ana would eventually join us halfway through the ride, giving us the opportunity to hear 2 different perspectives of life in Portland. In total, this ride runs anywhere from 8 to 11 miles. It's mostly flat and the time truly flies by. The first stop is just a quick ride from the shop and is a place we never knew existed. Ladd's Addition is a neighborhood that was specifically built as a planned community to keep the street cars out. While many people think of Portland as the city of roses, I actually think of it as the city of doughnuts. You can see my true love of food shining through. Voodoo Doughnut, and its bright pink boxes, are on most tourists must-visit lists. But on this tour, you'll get to experience the doughnut shops that most locals will go to. After battling the wild bike-congested traffic jam, our new guide Ana was able to take over the tour. At this point, we went single file to take on some incredible bike trails. It was a great day out! In total, this tour is 3 hours in length. And they keep groups small with no more than 10 travelers. Total cost is $49 for each adult and $40 for children up to 12 years old. Each tour includes all of the equipment including bike helmets, bikes, an experienced guide and water.

I already this was the right decision. We're still in the tour and I am writing this review. You know, when you meet someone and you kick it off and you know it's going to be a great friendship. Around Portland is a friend to both tourists and locals who are looking for a new experience. Dustin made our tour super chill, interesting, and memorable. You got to try this! Coffee and food and bikes makes Portland shine as a friendly, vibrant, and foodie capital in the Pacific Northwest.

We did the Columbia Gorge Waterfall tour and I couldn't recommend it enough! You see so much with the comfort of a shuttle, and you don't need to be much of a hiker at all. The drive is only 30 min from the city and it's magical, our guide Anna was not only very informative but friendly as could be, and offered many recommendations.

We did the half day Columbia Gorge and waterfall hiking tour, and it was sensational! Our tour guide, Anna, was extremely friendly & accommodating. Transportation was smooth and seamless and Anna was very knowledgeable about Portland's unique history. She shared plenty of historical facts and recommendations for places to visit (i.e. coffee shops, restaurants, etc.) around the city of Portland that enriched our overall experience!

My adventurous coworkers and I were in town for a conference and Around Portland Tours offered a great time frame for us to squeeze in a tour to the waterfalls! It was easy to book online and the staff was super friendly when I called for more information. Carrie was our fabulous tour guide and we had THE BEST time with her! She was super knowledgeable about the area and even tailored the information she shared with us based on our interests (education and food)! Thank you Carrie, we had a lovely, zen, fun time! :D

Fabulous tour of the Columbia River Gorge near Portland.  Multanomah Falls gets a lot of the fanfare, and it is VERY lovely, but our tour guide, Edwin Skaug, saved the best for last with Latourell Falls - a fantastic natural cathedral of geometric basalt rock carved by the waterfall, colored by iridescent lichens and moss.  You can't tell from the roadway how amazing this waterfall is, you have to do the mild hike to the base of the falls.  Horsetail Falls and Wahkeena Falls are also great - be prepared for a bit of an uphill climb to Wahkeena.  The views of the Columbia River in all directions from the Vista House are beyond stunning. Edwin is a laid-back and amusing tour guide. He is full of good information, both historical and practical.   COVID protocols observed in reason: masks were required in the van which only holds up to 9 tourists (we had 6 which was very comfortable), as well as in the restrooms and gift shops at Multanomah Falls, and Vista House,  but not in the outdoor spaces.   A half-day morning tour was the perfect amount of time for us as we were constricted by a schedule.

went on the half day waterfall tours with Anna. Anna was an amazing guide with tons of information on geography and Food to eat in Portland. she was also the drive in what was a clean and cool van with snacks and water available to us. As a solo traveler for this trip - this was probably the easiest and most affordable way to see the falls in just one afternoon.

Kelly was a fabulous tour guide showing us The many sides of Portland by bike. It was easy on a 4 speed even for me (68 year old fit-ish woman). She gave us history, stories, anecdotes and wonderful tips on places to see in area and food choices. Highly recommend her. Bikes were in good working order and helmets were good. They provided water and opportunities to rest and refresh. Even in the drizzly winter, it was a very fun experience!

Take the Columbia Gorge Waterfall Tour! Such a treat. Edwin Skaug and his team leading the tour were just fantastic. Not only were these waterfalls among the most beautiful things I've ever seen, but his knowledge of the area was amazing. During the tour he gave us historical anecdotes, pointed out interesting plants and animals, and fielded questions about everything from the geology of the area to Native American lore, the ghost towns, and people still here. Amazing. I highly recommend this tour!

My husband and I did the Bike Portland-Bridges, Doughnuts, Parks and Roses tour this past Sunday morning and it was fantastic!! The night before, we booked it on a whim to wrap up our weekend getaway in the city. The experience definitely exceeded our expectations. We arrived in the morning and two staff members were helpful getting helmets/bikes ready for the tour. Anna, our tour guide, introduced herself and then made sure everyone had everything they might need. It felt relaxed, yet efficient. After some basic 'housekeeping' info was shared and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves(there were 8 of us on the tour including Anna) we began the adventure. Anna was very knowledgeable about biking in the city, which helped with the comfort level we felt on the ride. She shared fun facts and lore about the neighborhoods we traveled through. We made various stops along the route, getting a chance to learn more about the city and try some local food/drink. Overall we absolutely recommend this tour and will be back again for another one they offer. We especially hope we will be able to book with Anna! She was so kind, funny and really took the ride to the next level.

Just finished a morning bike Portland tour. WOW!!! Tour guide was Dustin and Edwin. Edwin was training Dustin. They have a winner with Dustin. He is a very beautiful and kind spirit! He was always looking back to check on us. Answered every question and if he didn't know the answer he told us. I love that. I've been on tours where the guides are unsure so they "makeup" history. When there is so much rich interesting history everywhere I go! Take the tour! There was 8 in my tour but I and another lady were touring by ourselves. So the extra folks made it fun. But even with one person they will still take you out. The bikes are in great shape. They had donuts for us in the morning. That's really nice!

My wife and I took a trip to visit Portland for the first time. Since neither of us had been to the city before, we decided on a bike tour to try and get our bearings. And we're SO glad we did it! Our tour guide, Anais, was fantastic. She was fun, super knowledgeable about a million little things around the city, and picked some really great and unique spots to show us. It was the best way to start our trip and we'd recommend it to anyone!

Did the "Bike Around Portland" tour with Jeri, and it was worth every penny. Got to see a good chunk of the city in a short amount of time. Little tid bits of artsy, foodie, and quirky Portland life that would take you hours of research to find for yourself. Felt totally safe on Around Portland's sturdy bikes + helmets + Portland's general bike focus. Jeri our guide was super friendly and looked out for everyone on the tour.

We did the Zen waterfall tour with Edwin (and Bear), great day! Edwin is very knowledgeable about the area and was a great host.

Excellent tour guide (Everett) and an overall relaxing bike tour of the city. I loved biking on the waterfront and learning about some of the local street art. Tour size was small and personal.

Incredible views of the city and the river in the waterfront bike tour. Amazing street art on display. Laid back bicycle ride, learned a lot about Portland today. Everett was a great guide!

We had the best experience! Anna our guide was the best! So knowledgeable, sweet and just plain fun! The price was very reasonable and well worth the price! We traveled easily around the town and I loved the bridges sand how the city is so eco friendly! The rose gardens absolutely beautiful you will love it! Check it out it's a must so a do activity!

Great tour of waterfalls - Philipe had a ton of interesting information and kept the tour fun.

We really enjoyed the waterfall tour; outstanding landscape beauty. The guide was knowledgeable and easy going.

Bryan was an accommodating and knowledgeable tour guide. The biking portions are manageable and gently paced. Recommended for getting a holistic sense of Portland within a few hours.

we love felipe!!! sweet & amazing tour guide who offered his knowledge about the falls and recommendations about where to visit in portland. I'm glad we decided to book this tour.

Stellar, kind, knowledgeable and FUN are just a few words I can use to describe the people of this company. We had the pleasure of joining Aaron for the half-day waterfall tour and it was one of the most beautiful experiences ever. (Also Aaron has the best laugh!) If you are in Portland and have a few hours to spare, you must take this tour. You'll make fast friends with Portland and will be planning your next trip back before you leave.

Gorgeous tour around the city on bike, enjoying all the beauty and hidden poetry (and donuts!) the city has to offer. Donut was immediately consumed and therefore not pictured. Biking is the best way to experience a city!

Had a great experience on the half day Columbia River Gorge waterfall tour. I highly recommend Around Portland Tours and in particular our guide Carrie. We found the half daCarrie was very informative and knowledgeable of the area and surrounding areas. She offered many recommendations which we appreciated. Would definitely use this company again the opportunity arises.

Otniel did a superb job on this two-mile tour in downtown Portland --thank you. Appreciated his strong voice and the small group of 6.

Had a fantastic food cart and neighborhood tour with both Dustins! They both brought a ton of personality and local knowledge, and it was a great experience. Appreciated the locals-only tip for ice cream, too!

We booked a Portland Gorge van tour last week and were thrilled with it. Described as approximately four hours, it was closer to five. Our excellent guide Ana took us to five waterfalls, Vista House, and as a bonus, a lavender farm. She knew all the back roads and best access to restrooms, etc, so it was well worth having an experienced guide rather than trying to navigate ourselves. Highly recommended!
