One of the finest tour guides we had on the whole trip. The lighthouses were beautiful. A wealth of knowledge about the city where our tour guide was born and raised. A great tour.
Dereck was awesome! Locally born and raised with a great knowledge of all of Portland and its amazing history. Would highly recommend
Great quick tour through the harbor. Exactly as described. Guide gave some great history/culture for Portland that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. It was comfortable with our toddler.
