Fantastic tour- with a personal touch! - We did the all day tour from historic Astoria thru Seaside to absolutely stunning Cannon Beach and had a wonderful time! Katie explained a lot about each area and pointed out items of interest every where we went. I would describe our tour with Katie as having. A good friend show you around. She was very personable and kept the schedule flexible so we could add or takeout things we were interested in to make our trip more personal. One of our groups favorite activities was climbing the column and throwing the wooden airplane off at the top (fun!) If you’re looking for a tour in this area, whether it be the city of Astoria or the whole area make sure you pick this one! you’ll have a wonderful time… And learn a lot too!

An awesome way to discover the coast of northern Oregon in person - I booked this tour for a stay in Oregon and I was so happy I did. Our tour guide, Katie, was awesome. Funny, informative and caring. She took us to many off the beaten track spots that were amazing. We were with her for over seven hours and felt like we had made a friend. I would suggest this tour to anyone staying on the coast of northern Oregon. It brought it to life for us. Thanks so much, Katie!

Best tour ever! Amazing! - Best tour ever! The guide knows everything about the areas. She told us all the stories about the places that we visited and the movies that were filmed in the areas. Very organized and very knowledgeable. Very personable and very friendly. Me and my wife will never forget such a great adventure that Katie provided for us! Katie spent with us about 9-10 hours, a combination of driving and walking tour. If you are thinking of visiting Astoria and the surroundings, you have to book a full day tour with Katie! AMAZING. Thank you Katie!

A vacation to remember - Katie our tour guide was amazing. She tailored our tour to our interests of beaches, nature and wildlife. We even got to see a family of Elk crossing the the road in front of us. If we are back in the area we will certainly book again Katie again with Onward Adventures.
