Paseo en tranvía aéreo con donuts cerca de Sunrise en Portland Oregon
Descripción
Nota : ¡El amanecer es demasiado temprano en el verano para viajar durante el horario abierto del tranvía! Montaremos después del amanecer abril - agosto. El huésped del tour temprano obtiene las vistas espectaculares. Nos encontraremos en el borde del centro de Portland, donde tendrá la oportunidad de tomar café (o té). Nos dirigiremos a OHSU, donde caminaremos con usted hasta el tranvía aéreo. Montaremos esta hazaña de ingeniería suiza hasta la cima mientras el sol revela los colores brillantes de la ciudad. Una vez allí, dependiendo de la hora de salida del sol y el clima, veremos cómo el sol cresta en el horizonte o veremos las vistas de la ciudad a primera hora de la mañana. Después de volver al fondo, te contaremos la historia del puente y sus luces quijotescas, y te orientaremos a la ciudad cuya divisoria este-oeste se encuentra ante nosotros. El Tranvía Aéreo fue construido en 2006 para conectar el campus principal de la Universidad de Ciencias de la Salud de Oregón con el nuevo vecindario del South Waterfront. ¡Nos uniremos a estudiantes y personal médico en su viaje diario en tranvía!
Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Pararemos en una cafetería, con la oportunidad de comprar la fusión única de los patrimonios marroquí y Alemán de los propietarios
Experimentaremos las rosquillas que los lugareños llaman "vale la pena esperar en la cola".
De arriba a abajo, el teleférico es un viaje rápido; nos tomaremos nuestro tiempo en la cima y luego descenderemos juntos a la Terminal de Tranvía Inferior. Aquí, aprenderemos más sobre por qué se instaló el tranvía en OHSU, y lo que significa para la ciudad y sus visitantes.
OHSU es el mayor empleador de Portland y una maravilla arquitectónica, encaramado en la cima de un pico alto y estrecho de las montañas Tualatin. Gracias a su dedicación al bienestar del paciente, el hospital universitario y el centro de investigación están repletos de arte, algunos de los cuales experimentaremos antes de abordar el tranvía.
Te presentamos nuestro puente favorito, el Tilikum; y aprenda por qué llegó aquí y qué lo hace tan especial (y, en su lanzamiento, controvertido).
Pasaremos por el barrio South Waterfront (¡donde recogeremos donuts!)

Our guide Sarah was very knowledgeable and helpful. I appreciate the city walk tour and the art work. The view of the city is amazing.
This was a fun experience. Our guide Sarah was informative and friendly. It was nice pace for an early morning tour. The donuts were delicious and the tram and its history was very interesting. I toured with my teenage children and we were all engaged. A beautiful way to see the city skyline.
Nanci, our guide was funny and knowledgeable. It was a cool experience to see the tram and hear about why it was implemented in Portland! The stop at Blue Star donuts was yummy!
The gondola ride was nice, however, it's not really a tourist attraction, as it is a commuter tram. Both up and down rides were full of people going to work. I think throwing in the "tourist attraction" was an after thought for sure. The coffee at Ovation Station was DELICIOUS and the highlight of the trip. Donuts were very heavy and oily- not a fan-we heard a lot of history from the tourist guide though.
Hi Jennifer! I'm so glad you like the coffee! The tram is indeed a commuter line as we say in our tour information -- we just offer a curated ride on it and make sure you can find all the great views once you get to the top! It sounds like you liked the way the guide gave you history. I'm sorry the doughnuts weren't your style; they win best doughnuts in Portland regularly, but everyone's tastes are different.
It was a fun ride to the top and beautiful views from the hospital. Nice to enjoy the view with coffee and donuts.
Tour guide was really knowledgeable about the neighborhood and Portland in general. She’d grown up there in the 50s. Beautiful view. Fun to learn something new about the city.
Nancy was our tour guide and now I need her to do every tour that I ever go on for the rest of my life.
Our tour guide was wonderful, however, we booked a “sunrise” tram ride with coffee and donuts. Sunrise was at 5 we found out and it was explained that tours don’t start that early. You should really change the tour name to remove “sunrise” as it’s very misleading. We also had to buy our own coffee which we thought was part of the ticket price. We were just very confused by it all. Having said all of this, we were very pleased with the tour guide and what we learned. We realize she has nothing to do with how the tour is marketed. I would recommend the tour as it’s beautiful views, but just let people know they’re not going to see the sun come up.
Hi Trish! We used to do the tour only in the winter but had a lot of demand for it in the summer. The aerial tram does not open early enough for a sunrise ride due to the tilt of the earth and the latitude, and the coffee and doughnut places do not open until 6 and 6:30. It would be a sad sunrise tour with nothing to do but watch the sunrise from outside closed businesses and conveyances. Because we note that in the tour description, changing the title for the three months when sunrise is so early seems silly, and unfortunately we cannot change any of the other factors. I’ll be reaching out to people booked at the 6:30 time in the future to let them know they have to see the sunrise on their own. Coffee is not part of the ticket price. The tram fare and doughnut is. It is clearly stated in the exclusions. I’m sorry you missed that in your booking. It sounds like you had a great time and I would ask you in the future to consider that three star reviews over small details do impact the small businesses you are booking with.
Sarah was fabulous! We loved the stops for coffee and donuts. She made the tram ride more interesting with information about the city. She has a great and fun personality that makes the experience even better. Would definitely do it again.
Our tour guide often walked at the front of the group talking forward, not often audible. It appeared she read off the hospital timeline wall about the history, something we could have done. She was very nice . We really wanted the sunrise experience, which isn’t available this time of year. Maybe we could have done it ourselves . Disappointing.
Hi Bonnie, I’m sorry but not surprised you had a disappointing experience, as when you messaged to ask about the sunrise, I informed you that the sunrise is too early to see on the aerial tram in May, June and July due to the opening times of the tram and the coffee shop and offered you a refund. The day was cloudy and you wouldn’t have seen a sunrise even if we could have ridden the tram before it opens at 5:30. If you had accepted my offer you would have avoided disappointment and read off the history wall yourself. It may be that you are just as disappointed with your decision; or the weather; in either case I am sorry about that. When we are walking from doughnut shop to tram, we have a policy of only chatting and not delivering narrative, because everyone may not be able to hear, which is why we wait to deliver history until the group is assembled. The wall seems like a good place to do it, and when people are engaged, they usually get a lot more out of it than you did.
