About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- AmandaHuggenkiss0 contributionsI nice jaunt out of the city.It was nice to get out of the city and see waterfalls. However, our guide didn’t notify us of our early pick up time until the morning of, which was very late in the game. We were on vacation so got up based on when we needed to be ready. All others tours notified us the night before.Written March 17, 2025
- alexamQ8619TI0 contributionsPhoebe is the best!So fun! Our tour guide Phoebe was so knowledgeable about everything and was able to answer all of our questions. She was so sweet and offered to take pictures of us at every waterfall and tell us where the perfect photo spots were. She gave us time at every waterfall and was overall so funny and kind! She also offered us umbrellas and complimentary waters incase we forgot!Written March 15, 2025
- 640lauriem0 contributionsOregon fallsThe waterfalls were amazing! The day was windy and chilly but that didn’t prevent us from experiencing the whole waterfall experience!❤️Written March 12, 2025
- Brian R0 contributionsFirst and best time in Oregon!Phoebe was the best!! Super knowledgeable and never a dull moment on the tour. Made it worth every moment knowing we were guided by an experienced and fun guide. 100% recommend over and over again. Will be back to enjoy another stress free tour.Written March 1, 2025

- Alec M0 contributionsPhil Is Awesome!The tour was amazing! Picked us up and dropped us off right outside of our hotel. Phil was very informative, kind, and had a great sense of humor. He also took time to take everyone’s pictures at each stop. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to tour the gorge!Written November 25, 2024
- yolandaf3480 contributionsWaterfalls galore!What a great experience. Driving in the old Scenic Hwy, we saw multiple water falls both in and out of the van. There were lots of stops to walk up close to the falls and take pictures. The trip operator (Gunner) was knowledgeable about the area and had lots of corny dad jokes to make us smile. I highly recommend!Written November 16, 2024
- wrox130 contributionsGreat sightseeing trip for a dayGorgeous views, with several quick stops along the way. Highlight was the snow at Timberline Lodge... I could've sat by that fireplace for hours. Tour guide / driver was friendly and knowledgeable. Got a lot in for the day, and perfect after several days of walking all over Portland (and looking for a little bit less walking).Written November 9, 2024

- Rickster46650 contributionsMt. HoodThis had to be the most beautiful mountain hike i have ever taken. You will need to be able to hike up steep terrain to get to the best spots. So if you have any health problems there are other nice views.Written November 2, 2024

The tour company was able to give us a meeting place since we weren't staying at a hotel, and Phoebe picked us up on time and ready to roll.
There were 11 or 13 people on the tour with us, and we were comfortably seated in a lovely van. Phoebe told us some of the history and information behind the landmarks as we drove to the different destinations. We had plenty of time to explore each one, and we all enjoyed our time. Our part consisted of parents in their 40's, two 23 year old, a 20 year old, and a 17 year old. Thus is a great excursion idea for a family. We had a wonderful time!

John was amazing, picked us up from a hotel and took us to so many waterfalls. He brings water for everyone which is nice, he also stops off at all the waterfalls for you to go down and see it up close and get photos. He gives you 15/20/30 mins to go and do your own thing at the waterfalls which is really nice of you wanna go shopping or grab a snack. I come from Arizona and this was worth way more than I paid!

Jeff was awesome..friendly , informative and enthusiastic. He knew a lot about the area and was always ready to offer us help with pics or tips to make the tour thoroughly enjoyable. Totally worth the money. The tour itself is inherently gorgeous, buy it, you don’t regret it. I had ton of fun even though I was by myself on a work trip.

This is a great tour to see the waterfalls and hear all about some Portland history as well. Angela was our tour guide, and she was wonderful! They do supply water and are great at getting the best photos. She was great with recommendations on other things to do around Portland as well. It is well worth the cost to avoid the parking issues and driving. I would highly recommend these tours. I wish that we had booked more while we were there!

If you are considering taking this tour, stop what you are doing and book it. This was an amazingly beautiful experience to so many surreal waterfalls. Was in town for a conference and booked this solo, it was worth 10x what I paid. Jeff was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable, funny and courteous. So lucky to experience the beauty of Oregon. Forever grateful.

Absolutely wonderful! Well worth the cost. Much better than driving and trying to park on your own. What really made the trip outstanding was our guide Adam Thorn Smith. He was highly knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. He showed us so much than just the Multnomah Falls!

Beautiful falls, and spectacular nature! Our guide, Cam, was so knowledgeable with many fun facts!!! Our group was small and not in a hurry, so she took us to some of the other falls too. We did not expect to learn so much about the history of the area the ecology. We had a massive view of the George too, a little foggy, but still beautiful!

Can someone tell me where to get on the bus? What hotels can be pick up?
Written March 10, 2020
We definitely want to see the Multnomah Falls, but the description indicates it may not be a definite stop. What is the deciding factor on whether the tour stops there?
Written July 28, 2019
The tour definitely stops at the Falls but depending on how long you stop there will determine if you can stop a other falls. It is the BEST tour and the Falls are gorgeous
Written August 13, 2019
Do we get to get off bus at stops? And if yes, how much time are we allowed?
Written June 1, 2019
Yes, they stop and allow you to get out/walk around for a while at each stop. Typically you’re permitted 20-40 minutes at each location - plenty of time to walk a little, stretch your legs, and take pictures.
Written June 1, 2019
Would this tour be "do-able" for someone using a walker?
Written May 2, 2019
There are steep elevations and group tours are on a fast-paced timeline. I would recommend a private tour and expect limitations with a walker.
