Fabulous way to see this city! - What a fabulous way to see this beautiful city and learn about its rich history! Our guide, Carrie, was wonderful- so well-informed. She shared everything from facts to what types of plants and trees we were looking at! And a gracious host as well - the donuts were a welcome treat! 3 hours was a perfect amount of time to get to know Portland a bit better, and in a comfortable, air-conditioned van. I highly recommend!

Lovely view of Portland - Great tour and guide, love the view from the mansion, the rose garden and the free donut. Weather was good, we lucked out we were the only 2 in the tour. Van was comfortable. Portland the birthplace of the founder of Nike and the writer of The Simpsons.

Unexpected private tour - Carrie did a great job explaining all aspects of Portland. There were only two of us on the tour and we appreciated that they did not cancel. This was a winter tour so the roses weren’t in bloom, but the views were still spectacular. Thanks Carrie for making it interesting!

Great trip with impressive Portland insights - On a foggy January day Sarah's tour truly made Portland shine. Her deep knowledge of city history along with humorous anecdotes about early residents was both impressive and a lot of fun. She tailored the trip based on our questions and interests. I would come back to Portland just to take another one of her tours!

Loved the drive tour - Sara was great, explained history & different areas of the city. I chose her trip because it was an overview drive tour to areas I wanted to see in a town I was not fully aware of. The day was warm, clear, balmy & on that day had opportunity to try a Sesame donut and tried a unique cold dish of Geoduck @ Southpark Restaurant at her suggestion. I like to see and try things different things outside of my usual routine. Thank you for a great event!
