We were doing "our own" road trip of OR & WA and decided to book this tour. It was worth the time and price! What we especially liked was that it was a mini bus, i.e., just us and one other couple, very personal and informative. Besides the STANDARD places to see, our guide (who was a Portland local,) shared EXTRA "what you may want to see" places, e.g. secret waterfall path and history e.g., story of Fremont neighborhood. If you are in Portland and want to "leave the driving to us," we thoroughly recommend this tour. P.S. One special note ... While the season was over, my request to visit a Lavender Farm was added. What a treat!
