When the tours run smoothly, guests absolutely love this amphibious adventure through Portland. The tour guides consistently get high marks for being entertaining and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating historical tidbits about the city and making the whole experience fun for families. People especially appreciate the unique thrill of transitioning from land to water, with some guides even letting passengers take a turn at the wheel for a photo op. The company shows good accessibility practices, welcoming service animals and accommodating guests with disabilities. However, there's a concerning pattern with operational reliability that travelers should know about. Multiple reviewers report last-minute cancellations with minimal notice or explanation, and several mention difficulty getting responses to calls and emails when issues arise. Some tours have been land-only due to the water portion being unavailable, though guides apparently do their best to keep things engaging regardless. A few guests also note promised discounts or compensation that never materialized. The actual tour experience gets rave reviews when it happens as planned, but the company's communication and follow-through seem inconsistent enough that booking with flexible plans might be wise.
A fun experience driving around Portland and learning about it's history, then driving in the oean and seeing the sites. I highly recommend the tour.
