The Absolute best way to see The Columbia River and Mt Hood
I’ve taken many trips through Viator but this was my absolute favorite. It could have been Phil, our driver, who was knowledgeable, kind, and so helpful. He took pictures for us at every stop and gave wonderful commentary as the trip went on. We had just the right amount of stops, saw more than we thought was included, and met new friends. The coach was Comfortable, clean and Phil brought water and snacks and passed them out freely. The sights we saw were as described on the itinerary but better than we could imagine. We highly recommend this tour
Response from the operator: Glad you enjoyed Phil!

Great vino and views
Tour gives you a true taste of Mount Hood with fantastic views and vino. Tour guide Phil is 5 ⭐️ — he shared great local knowledge, history and travel tips. The visit in each location is no more than 30-60 minutes, at times it felt rushed and wish we had more time to explore the Falls and Mount Hood/Timberline for longer hike. Grateful Vineyards pizza and wine lunch was fantastic. Sneakers and an extra layer as it got cooler even on a summer day.
Response from the operator: Glad you enjoyed Phil!

Overall a GREAT...
Overall a GREAT experience. Phil, our guide very knowledgeable and entertaining. The only reason for a 4 versus a 5 is the last stop at Mt Hood. Thought interesting and beautiful, a long way for a short stop with limited things to do. We would have rather spent more time at the Falls or the first winery and heard more about it.

Cher, our tour guide was...
Cher, our tour guide was wonderful. The scenery was beautiful. MT. Hood unbelievable. But, elevation sickness is real. But,Cher took great care of my daughter. I was a little disappointed by "lunchtime picture shows a actual lunch in a vineyard. It turned out to be Pizza in a wine shop. Pizza was good,but not what was expected. And we didn't make it to vista house.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Mt Hood Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Wine Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Portland.
How much does Full-Day Mt Hood Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Wine Included cost?
+
Prices start at $199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Portland usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full-Day Mt Hood Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Wine Included take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Portland is not rushed.
Is Full-Day Mt Hood Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Wine Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 213 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Portland, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Mt Hood Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Wine Included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-Day Mt Hood Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Wine Included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Mt Hood Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Wine Included?
+
Around 75 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Portland can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Portland and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Mt Hood Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Wine Included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Portland within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Portland?
+
Portland's activity list is food cart and brewery crawls, Columbia River Gorge waterfall tours to Multnomah Falls, Mount Hood day trips and Willamette Valley pinot tastings. Gorge tours vary in how many falls they reach, so route detail is the deciding factor. On Outty we rank every Portland experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Guided Oregon Coast Tour from Portland, Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Half-Day Hiking Tour, Columbia Gorge Waterfalls and Mt. Hood Tour - Full Day. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Portland?
+
June to October for the Gorge, with waterfalls at their fullest in spring. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Portland?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
