Excellent way to first experience the city!! - Angela was fantastic! She knew a great deal about Portland and was able to share great information about the different parts of town. The view from the Pittock mansion grounds was amazing.

Great Tour Company - CYCLE PORTLAND is a great bike vendor / tour operator to use. Even though I was the only one signed up for the two hour bike ride, they did not cancel the tour, which I thought was decent of them. Jaydon and Charlies were my tour guides, very informative, kept me safe, I enjoyed the loop ride around the river so much.

Great introduction to Portland - We really enjoyed this morning tour, and it gave us a great overview of Portland. Angela our tour guide was very welcoming and friendly. She provided interesting commentary as we drove around the city and was able to stop for photos and a closer look. The view from the Pittock mansion is not to be missed.

Portland city tour - Staying in the city centre gives the wrong impression of Portland. The tour highlights the beauty of the city that one cannot experience without local knowledge. I did find that there appeared to be a little too much driving in circles but we got to see so much and enjoyed the outing

Informative Tour - The Guide was highly informative and worked hard to be responsive to the needs of each passenger. I would have liked to spend alittle more time at each of the highlighted sights. Perhaps the Rose Garden stop could be shortened & the Chinese Gardens could be added as a stop.
