A biking adventure - Kelly, our bike tour guide made this a great experience. She shared lots of fun and interesting insights and stories about the areas we cycled around. Loved seeing the roses garden in the Ladd Addition neighborhood and crossing 2 of the 9 bridges traversing the Willamette. Reading the poetry written by area students on the rocks down to the waterway was interesting. Also loved the garage of street artist work. Very clever!

Refreshing and super fun with the family! - Totally fun tour! It was perfect day for a bike ride, cloudy at first but sun later came out. So much fun, was not difficult at all except for one bridge climb but the view made it worth while! Would definitely recommend!

This was amazing - Kelly (I called her Baton Rouge lol- her hometown) was phenomenal! She knows this city of Portland very well. She took breaks throughout and she was extremely personable! We rode for 3 hours and it didn’t feel like it because she made it extremely fun the whole time. Time went by fast! I’m leaving town knowing a lot more about the artsy and beautiful city of Portland, Oregon
