Great Tour
This tour was very good. We stopped at many places to take pictures. We stopped at Multnomah Falls and another falls but I can't remember the name it started with an S. We were given enough time at all the places. We stopped at Mt. Hood town for lunch. The guide did give us suggestions for lunch. The tour guide was Scott, he was very professional and informative. We also stopped to take pictures of Mt. Hood at different angles.

The best way to see the beautiful sights
We took the full day tour. Since it was raining pretty hard, some of our stops were rather quick. Our tour guide (I believe Scott) was absolutely outstanding. It is a beautiful drive through the Columbia Gorge and he pointed out many great sights. He made some stops that were not on the itinerary, the Bonneville Fish Hatchery, where we got to see Herman the sturgeon, who is 70 years old, 10 feet long and 700 lbs, the Bonneville Lock and Dam where we toured and Starvation Creek where we took a trail to some beautiful falls. We went to Multnomah Falls and our final destination was Mt. Hood in the afternoon. Scott had already advised us that we might not get to Mt. Hood as it had been snowing for over 24 hours there, but he said he would make the attempt. A lot of credit to him, about 2 miles from Timberline Lodge, we ran into a white-out but he kept trudging along and made it. Unfortunately, it was pretty much a blizzard on top so we really didn't even get to see Mt. Hood because of the snow. We only spent about 30 minutes in the lodge as the weather was getting worse, but our tour guide got us off the mountain. He was just a wonderful guide.

Combined Portland City & Columbia Gorge/Waterfalls Tour
Our morning was spent driving around the major streets in Portland and stopping at the absolutely amazing rose garden (do take time to smell the roses, but be aware of the bees), the Pittock mansion, and the Chinese Garden. The rose garden was huge! It was the most beautiful and fragrant garden I’ve even experienced and was my favorite part of the whole day. We even got to sample some blackberries we found growing near one of the gardens, a first for me! Lunch was on our own - we were lucky to be on the tour on the same day as the Farmer’s Market, and enjoyed a variety of tasty samples and treats there. Definitely recommended! Some stations even accepted credit cards. The famous, long stretch of food carts was another possibility. The afternoon was spent at the Columbia Gorge and several area waterfalls, really not that far from Portland city at all. Breathtaking natural beauty! Perfect place for memorable photos... Oregon has so much to offer: forests, mountains, waterfalls! I’m afraid of heights, but it seemed to me that you could still get a good view without going onto the viewing bridges. Our guide was Evan, and he was fantastic. He provided interesting commentary, successfully answered just about every question thrown at him, and entertained us with his great sense of humor the whole day. Thank you! Highly recommend

Great way to get overview of Portland in one day
On June 19th, we took the Full Day option with Steve as our guide. Cannot say enough about Steve. Very professional and knowledgeable. He dealt well with a very noisy child on the van. This is NOT the kind of tour that one should take a 5-yr. old child. Steve was respectful of his patrons. It was a hot long day, and we would definitely do it again!

<p>The tour guide, Eddie, took us from our hotel in downtown Portland to the Columbia River Gorge area east of Portland. We visited viewpoints from the Portland Womens Forum State and Crown Point Vista House. Then we visited several waterfalls, including Multnomah Falls. We stopped by the city of Hood River to eat lunch. Then we visited the Bonneville Hatchery, where millions of salmons are raised and released. Eddie was a great tour guide that greatly enhanced our visits.</p>

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Portland's Eclectic Tour: Thrift, Coffee, Bakes, & Books: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Portland.
How much does Portland's Eclectic Tour: Thrift, Coffee, Bakes, & Books cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Portland's Eclectic Tour: Thrift, Coffee, Bakes, & Books take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Portland's Eclectic Tour: Thrift, Coffee, Bakes, & Books worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 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 Portland's Eclectic Tour: Thrift, Coffee, Bakes, & Books?
+
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 Portland's Eclectic Tour: Thrift, Coffee, Bakes, & Books suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Portland's Eclectic Tour: Thrift, Coffee, Bakes, & Books?
+
Around 6 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Portland's Eclectic Tour: Thrift, Coffee, Bakes, & Books 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.
