Tour Company tried to Accommodate. - Sadly, we missed this tour due to cruise ship customs delay. The tour company tried to fit us in later but they were completely booked.

A Fun, Unique Activity for a Bachelorette Party! - Some other bridesmaids and I were planning my sister's bachelorette party in Portland, and we saw this crop up as a potential activity. It looked fun and like a great, laid-back way to get to know Portland early in our weekend so we went for it! It was relatively simple to book a private tour for 9 via email/phone, and we found the flat rate reasonable for a group of our size to split. Booking two months out, we were easily able to get the date we wanted and a good time slot. The fire engine was the perfect size for us! Miles, our guide, was hilarious and knowledgeable, and we developed a fun rapport as a group. We had no idea a seaside city was so prone to fire, and our new knowledge became useful later on when we had a fiercely competitive scavenger hunt. Our only complaint was that the Dalmatian dog wasn't real!

Limited value. - Unless you sit on the drivers side of the truck, you will be turning around in your seat for 95 percent of everything pointed out. I have neck problems and missed most of the views. Waste of money for me.
