    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took the time to tell us about history and facts about the falls and structures around. I would highly recommend this tour to be able to experience the falls!!

    This was the perfect day! Our guide Cameron was knowledgeable, friendly and patient in answering our questions. We had signed up for a tour group; however, the other guests had dropped out so we ended up with a private tour. Just the two of us. They could have canceled our reservation, but they didn’t. I think that says a lot for the company and our guide. The forest and beaches were amazing. If you get a chance to book this tour, don’t hesitate, do it!

    The best part of the trip was our guide Chuck! His knowledge of the area really enhanced our whole experience. We went in January so there were no crowds. We were the only ones at each waterfall. Everywhere we went was so beautiful. I got some great photos! It was a great value.

    Gorgeous 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).

    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!

    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!

    The guides for Around Portland are great, and really easy and fun to cycle and talk with.

    Kelly was my guide for Bike Around Portland. She was awesome and super knowledgable about all things Portland. A guided bike tour is definitely the way the way to do it.

    Angela guided the Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls tour, cool and also super knowledgeable about the Gorge, it's history, geology, everything. And of course Portland too. Cycling near the river on the scenic road, bombing through the trees and seeing the waterfalls and historic structures... go experience it!

    Such a fun tour day trip out of the city. Taylor was such a great tour guide and timed our day perfectly to see the sunset from the perfect spot! He even made us some hot chocolate to have while we watched. You can tell how much he loves what he does as he’s so excited to share his knowledge with the group and with such enthusiasm. It made for a great tour. Cannot recommend enough especially if you know Taylor’s your guide. 💖

    Awesome full day tour with Dominique!!
    She was very informative, knowledgeable, friendly, energetic, and quick to offer great recommendations for the best spots during the tour and for exploring the city afterward.

    The tour was fantastic, filled with stunning natural beauty, many impressive tall waterfalls. Even though not all the trees had turned autumn colors yet, the views were breathtaking. Every stops offers amazing angles and natural lighting, ideal for photo enthusiasts.

    I would definitely recommend this tour with Wildwood Adventures. They truly know what they are doing and handle any inconvenience promptly.

    Had so much fun. We took the 11:30 slot and it was chilly to start. Was thankful I had a jacket that zipped up around my neck! Hand were cold on bikes as well. But by 1pm it warmed up nicely. Easy to find - great tips before we set off. Would recommend.

    The River Gorge tour was awesome!! We went out at 8pm on a gorgeous evening to got to see great views of the river during golden hour. My only regret was not choosing a longer flight! JP was a fabulous pilot and guide, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. This was the perfect way to end our weekend in Portland, highly recommend!

    Edwin was a fantastic tour guide. He is hilarious and very knowledgeable. I love how small the groups are for the hikes. I hiked with the loveliest couple. The hike is stunning, you see so many beautiful waterfalls along the trail. We did 5 miles but if you let the guide know you want something shorter he can give you the best route. But the 5 miles is very doable and worth it. He gave the best route to see most of the waterfalls. Ed helped take pictures, gave fun facts about the trail and surrounding city, and made the journey nice and comfortable. I highly recommend this hiking tour.
