Highly recommended! Our group of 4 engaged EcoTours of Oregon for 4 excursions during a recent visit to the Willamette Valley. These included a public winery tour, a public loop tour to Mt Hood, a private winery tour and a private tour of the Oregon coast. During each of these tours Jeff provided a great amount of information about the history and geology of the area. He supplemented his verbal descriptions with maps, pictures and audio recordings. He also gave great recommendations for restaurants and other places we might want to visit during our stay. He customized the private tours to meet our needs. For the Oregon coast tour, we had hoped to do whale watching but the conditions were too rough so instead he took us further down the coast to visit one of the lighthouses. At several stops along the way he set up his spotting scopes so that we could get a close up view of the wildlife. With the winery tours, we did the private tour second, so he was able to choose the wineries based on what he had learned about our group's preferences during the first public winery tour. If we have the chance to get out to the Portland area again we would not hesitate to use EcoTours again!
