Portlands Topsights Half Day City Tour
Beskrivelse
Med Willamette River ned i midten og Columbia River over, Portland er ofte mere entusiastisk kendt for sine kaldenavne som "Bridgetown," "Stumptown," og "City of Roses." Beliggende ved bunden af en vulkan og indhyllet i gamle vækstskove, kan denne by prale af et landskab ud over et grundlæggende urbant miljø. Vi vil fordybe dig i byens historie og opdage, hvordan den engang lidt kendte fiskerby nu er blevet en populær international destination. Kom og se den vidunderlige by, som Wildwood Adventures kalder hjem og få en smag af charmen, som Portland tilbyder sine udforskere!
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores centrale mødested og afhentningspunkt! En smuk bypark midt i Downtown Portland.
Vi starter vores tur ind i køretøjet, meandering gennem den historiske centrum af Portland, som vi gør vores vej til Park Blocks. Dette område kan prale af museer og en samling af performing arts centre blandt andre kompleksiteter.
På vej til Washington Park passerer vi ved Providence Park, hjemsted for vores elskede Portland Timbers og Portland Thorns fodboldhold.
Washington Park er en 410 hektar stor bypark, der kan prale af mange smukke vidundere, hvoraf et vil være vores allerførste stop.
Den internationale Rose Test Garden, der tjente Portland en af sine stolte titler som "City of Roses," er den ældste officielle løbende kører offentlig rose test garden i USA. Den har over 610 unikke sorter af roser på tværs af 10.000 buske, og vi vil have tid til at stoppe og lugte masser af roserne. I vintersæsonen, når rosenhaven ikke er på sit højdepunkt, vil vi erstatte dette stop med Hoyt Arboretum, hvor vi vil lære om træerne og planterne i Pacific Northwest.
Flytter videre til Pittock Mansion, som blev reddet fra nedrivning i 1964. Huset bor nu som et historisk hus og museum med store haver og håndlavet græsplæne. Som vores anden stop på turen, vil gæsterne have masser af tid til at udforske det ydre af Pittock Mansion for at nyde de naturskønne haver og ikonisk udsigt over byen. Af hensyn til tid, er vi ikke i stand til at besøge det indre af huset selv, men storheden af haver er vel værd det.
Køretur gennem Nob Hill og trendy NW 23rd Avenue.
Køretur gennem den berømte Pearl District of Portland, hvor vi vil se en anden Portland landemærke: Powell's Books, verdens største uafhængigt ejede nye og brugte boghandel.
Køretur forbi Pioneer Courthouse Square, også kendt som Portlands stue.
Vores sidste stop på turen vil være på South Waterfront for at tage en tur på den berømte Portland Aerial Tram. Sporvognen er en af kun to pendlerluftvogne i USA (den anden er New Yorks Roosevelt Island Tramway). Sporvognen vil føre os fra South Waterfront-distriktet til toppen af Marquam Hill. Vi vil rejse en horisontal afstand på 3.300 fod (1.000 meter) og en vertikal afstand på 500 fod (150 meter) på en tur, der varer tre minutter envejs. På toppen finder vi fantastisk udsigt over centrum af Portland og de omkringliggende vulkanske Cascade Mountains, herunder Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier og Mt. Adams.
Vi vender tilbage til Director Park til slutningen af turen.

This was a great trip. We saw all the great sites in Portland. Our guide was fantastic and gave us the history of the city plus interesting points about what we were seeing. I highly recommend this trip.
Eric was a wonderful guide and pointed out history, architecture, restaurants, neighborhoods and more. He showed us the rose garden, the Japanese garden and hiked a bit to see the redwoods. He was an awesome guide!
Eric took our group on a terrific morning tour of the city. We went all around, including beautiful Washington Park. That rose garden was everything. We had a good amount of time for pictures. We also took a tram ride up to a great viewing area of the city and mountains. He was very knowledgeable and personable. I'd definitely recommend this tour.
When arriving in Portland make this tour before making plans as this was so insightful and gave us glimpses of everything there is to do and see.
Lots of great info on different areas of the city, restaurant recommendations, and more. Beautiful rose gardens and Pittock mansion.
Nice overview of Portland and its neighborhoods. My only suggestion would be to provide a cheap map so customers can get oriented as we drive through those neighborhoods.
Hi Rayme, Thank you for your feedback and suggestion. We actually do have Portland City Maps to take with you on board all of our vans and tours, apologies if your guide did not make mention of them during your tour.
Our tour guide Eric provided a well organized tour of Portland. He was very knowledgeable about the city and city history.
Eric was great. He had some much knowledge of the city. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. I wish it was longer. Fun 😃😀
It was great!!! Our tour guide/driver was awesome!!! He was a very tentative person!!! Very very knowledgeable!!! Could not have asked for anything better.
City tour was good but our guide was very opinionated about California bringing up real estate prices and that this was a “temporary “ gig till he could find another job. He got mad when my daughter had to use the restroom and said. Oh I know how this trip is going to go. So unnecessary.
Thank you for reaching out and voicing your concerns and feedback. We pride ourselves in the training, knowledge, and outstanding customer service of every single one of our guides and employees. We will absolutely follow up with your guide, as this is not up to our standards. Please feel free to reach out to our office directly to chat, as we would love to hear from you. Additionally, if you and your daughter ever find yourselves back in the Portland area, we would love to have a second chance and have you on another tour.
