Great trip with impressive Portland insights - On a foggy January day Sarah's tour truly made Portland shine. Her deep knowledge of city history along with humorous anecdotes about early residents was both impressive and a lot of fun. She tailored the trip based on our questions and interests. I would come back to Portland just to take another one of her tours!

Loved the drive tour - Sara was great, explained history & different areas of the city. I chose her trip because it was an overview drive tour to areas I wanted to see in a town I was not fully aware of. The day was warm, clear, balmy & on that day had opportunity to try a Sesame donut and tried a unique cold dish of Geoduck @ Southpark Restaurant at her suggestion. I like to see and try things different things outside of my usual routine. Thank you for a great event!

Great way to start your visit in Portland - Pickup was right on time. Our guide, Sara, was knowledgeable, friendly, easy to understand, and flexible. We learned a lot about Portland and got to see some great sites. An excellent way to start off a visit to a city you don't know.

A better understanding of Portland - Great overview of Portland. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. We were a bit early to see the roses but enjoyed seeing all the areas and hearing about the history. We even made a small change to find a vegan donut

Portland City Tour - I’ve been to Portland many times, but decided to book this tour to see some places that aren’t on my usual PDX itinerary. Turns out, I was the only booking that day, so I unexpectedly received a private tour! My tour guide, Carrie, was awesome- very personable, knowledgeable and a good driver! She was easy to converse with and made sure to maximize my time on tour; 10/10 would recommend her tours!

History doesn’t start with white settlers/land thieves. - Share everyone’s history on the tour. It is important to share the whole truth. Our guide was informative but uncomfortable telling an inclusive historical truth. She shared one perspective. mainly the white settlers and their “good” and contributions.
