Experience both Portland’s top sites and the Columbia River Gorge’s natural beauty on a comprehensive full-day tour. Marvel at Multnomah Falls, peruse the food trucks at Pioneer Courthouse Square, and wander the beautiful International Rose Test Garden.

More than just a basic Portland city tour, our half-day Portland City Tour will reveal the laid-back small-city feel of this fun and thriving downtown and the surrounding area. You will experience the best Portland sites including the International Rose Garden (May through mid-October), the World Forestry Museum (mid-October through the end of April on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), the Oregon Society of Artists (mid-October through the end of April on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday), Pioneer Courthouse Square, NW 23rd (the best shopping area in Portland), the Pearl District, Lake Oswego Square (seasonally), and the South Park Blocks.

You have time for lunch on your own in Pioneer Courthouse Square which is known for its eclectic food trucks. Then head out to bask in nature’s glory around the Columbia River Gorge. Start at the Portland Women's Forum scenic viewpoint and the historic Crown Vista Point House for postcard-perfect scenery. Then, stop at Latourell Falls which plunges 249 feet (76 m) into the Columbia River. Depending on weather, you may also view the elegant Bridal Veil Falls.

Your guide then takes you to Multnomah Falls—the most visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest. According to Native American lore, Multnomah Falls was created to win the heart of a young princess who wanted a hidden place to bathe. Stand on the bridge spanning the cascading water and feel the cool mist on your face before heading back to your downtown Portland hotel.
