More than expected - I loved this tour. It was so much more than I expected. A perfect way to see the city. Kelly was so friendly and knew exactly how to navigate the area. The cherry blossoms were blooming and we loved getting to bike right up to them. We hope to go back and do it again when the roses are blooming!

Portlandia - Wonderful way to feel the spirit of Portland. Find some Poetry along the ride stamped on the sidewalk like this one:”The river holds a gentle current, like a piano filled with music.” by a 4th grader

Wonderful Biking Trip in Portland - I had a fantastic time with this experience. I signed up for the biking trip on a weekend visit to Portland. As I arrived, there was a public parking lot nearby, making it easy to drop off my car and head to the tour start. When I arrived, Kelly (my tour guide) greeted me warmly and offered a large selection of helmets for me to choose from. She also noticed I had uncovered hands and offered me gloves to take on the trip -- they were most definitely needed. We then biked around several areas, taking in the different neighborhoods, street art, parks, bridges, etc. We periodically stopped (not too frequently, nor too infrequently) and Kelly would talk through the history of the area in question. I enjoyed getting to take in not just the sights, but the history of people and events that shaped Portland into what it is today. In the middle of our trip, we stopped at an excellent coffee shop for a break. The tour lasted three hours and we biked approximately 10 miles. This tour was one of the highlights of my trip! I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys biking and wants to get a guided introduction to Portland in a short period of time.

Great tour - I can't say enough good things about this tour! My teenage son and I had such an amazing time! It's a great way to see the city and learn about some of the culture. It started raining a little during our tour and even that couldn't stop us from having fun. 10/10 would 1000% recommend!

Fabulous way to see Portland up close - We though the Bike Around Portland tour would be a fun way to see Portland. Alice and Sabrina were terrific tour guides. I think Alice knows everything there is to know about Southeast Portland. The weather was perfect, the bikes in excellent condition and the route was interesting. We saw roses (still a few in bloom!), unique neighborhoods, art murals, kids poetry on rocks and biked the waterfront. I did not know Portland had a waterfront much less a bike path around it. The biking was easy and low key. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a bit of exercise and a look at Portland.
