• 5The 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

• 5Great 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.

• 4Overall 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.

• 4Cher, 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.

About Portland

Portland is Oregon's largest city, a green Pacific Northwest city of bridges, rose gardens, food carts, craft beer and views of Mount Hood.

Portland sits where the Willamette River meets the Columbia, with the snow-covered cone of Mount Hood visible to the east on clear days. It is called the City of Roses, and the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, above the city, has thousands of rose bushes. Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the United States, covers the hills west of downtown, and the Japanese Garden nearby is a quiet retreat.
