Tour Spectacular! - We were in the Portland, OR. and Vancouver, WA. area. We were staying in Holiday Inn Columbia River (Hayden Island) Hotel. It was our first time in the NW and wanted to maximize our time here. We wanted to see the Gorges and take a trip to Cannon Beach. However, we did not look forward to spending our day exploring and having to drive back exhausted on unfamiliar roads. After a long search we opted to go with a tour to Cannon Beach. We were not certain if we could get picked up as we were not on their list of "pick-up" hotels. To our surprise they were willing to pick us up from our hotel. The day began at 9:30 AM from the steps of our hotel. Peter was our guide and what a joy he was. He remained in contact with us letting us know when he would arrive. Lifted the fear of "are we going to get stiffed" feeling that we have experienced with some other tours. Upon arrival Peter welcomed us with a huge smile and informed us that we were the only ones on his tour for the day. We were ecstatic! This means that we had him all to ourselves! Yay! Immediately we took off toward the coast taking stops along the way to learn more about Mt. Saint Helens, Mt. Hood, and Mt. Rainier. We stopped for pictures and restroom breaks along the way. Peter was so knowledgable about the landscape. We learned about the various trees, logging, and a new word of the day, "crepuscular"! We were dropped off at the entrance of Cannon Beach, where we had the delightful opportunity to explore. We enjoyed walking down to see the breathtaking haystacks and wading in the chilly water, which certainly added to the experience! After that, we visited the charming town for lunch and a bit of exploration. Unfortunately, our lunch took up most of our time, so I would suggest opting for a grab-and-go meal to allow for more time to peruse through this charming little town, with its numerous galleries and fun shops that we so appreciate. Following that, we were taken to the Tillamook cheese factory for some tastings and ice cream. We took a few pictures and even enjoyed watching some fishermen crabbing. To our delight, we spotted a seal swimming nearby! (Peter has an amazing knack for spotting everything!) I cannot express enough gratitude to you, Peter, for the wonderful tour and for your thoughtful concern when my husband accidentally broke his cellphone. He mentioned wanting to include a thank-you note in this review. This tour truly exceeded our expectations! If I could, I would gladly give it a perfect 10 rating. You are exceptional, Peter! For anyone considering this experience—go for it! Relax, let someone else take the wheel, and enjoy the stunning Oregon Coast. Best wishes from Houston, Texas!

The reviews are true! This trip is spectacular! - At first, I thought the good reviews were too good to be true and maybe people were paid to write them, but no! This trip was incredible. Pete made the trip enjoyable from the moment we got in the vehicle! This day went far beyond what we expected. The drive to the coast was beautiful and we stopped for an informative walk through the forest. We loved learning about the land and history. Every place we stopped was wonderful.

Great Experience - What a lovely experience! There were only 2 of us booked on the trip & Peter took us anyway (other places might have cancelled)! The day was drizzly, foggy, overcast so views were limited; Peter was very flexible about stopping where we wanted & even took us to Tillamook for an indoor activity: cheese-making tour (& cheese samples & ice cream)! He was so knowledgeable about 'everything': local history, nature, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our day!

Fun, Beautiful, and Educational - This was by far the best tour we have ever been on! The guide was fun and informative, and the views were gorgeous! Thank you Peter for such a great time out to the coast.

Very nice getaway - Our tour guide Peter was friendly & knowledgeable, he took us to very exciting sites. The Haystack Rock 🪨 is magnificent.

Loads of Fun!!! - It was amazing and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun. I definitely recommend this experience. If you have any food allergies it may be in your best interest to pack a lunch. Cannon beach doesn’t have any options for GF really.

Informational, fun and beautiful scenery on this tour of the Oregon Coast!! - Peter was absolutely -the best tour guide and driver on this amazing trip to the coast from Portland. I was planning to see the coast with my husband but when he couldn’t go, this was an option for me to take a safe trip solo. Peter took us to the quaint town of Cannon Beach, nearby parks, and even made time for a tour of Tillamook Creamery. Based on this, I would recommend any of their tours. With the small group of only 7 of us, I felt like everyone enjoyed it!

A fantastic tour and tour company! - What a wonderful experience! OTC was fantastic. Booking, confirmation and communication was effortless and professional. Peter was our guide for the coast tour. He was a fountain of information and the tour itinerary was excellent. I would highly recommend booking with OTC. I also did the Columbia Gorge tour with OTC. Pete ( Peter's dad) was our guide. We were only two and ended up with our private tour. Again, so informative and congenial. Would definitely recommend them.

Oregon coast - Peter was personable & very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the stories & he had a wealth of knowledge. He cared that we would have an enjoyable pleasant experience & we did! The beach & forest scenery was just awesome! From the 3 sisters from Iowa 😊
