Dan is an amazing guide! His knowledge of the history of the area is impressive! The tour of several falls including a Wahkeena, Bridal Veil and Multnomah then finishing with a tasty meal at Multnomah lodge was amazing! I highly recommend Dan as a tour guide!
We had a fantastic tour with Dan. He is extremely knowledgeable and made sure to customize the tour for our whole family. The car was very clean and he provided snacks and water, which was a great touch. Dan is very nice and made the experience easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to experience the Columbia River Gorge and the waterfalls.
Believe every review that says Dan was a fabulous tour guide. We felt well taken care of and he was so knowledgeable about the social history of the area. This tour was the highlight of our vacation for sure.
Dan was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, personable, and knew exactly where to take us for the best Gorge views and photo spots. Traveling with our family required some flexibility, and he was incredibly patient and accommodating, adjusting the itinerary to fit our needs. One of the highlights of our Oregon trip. Highly recommend!
Our guide, Dan, was excellent! He share his extensive knowledge about the history of the place and was caring and thoughtful about the physical limitations of my husband (age 80 with some mobility issues). We enjoyed thoroughly our tour and all the sites we saw.
The tour was great and Dan was great. He really knows the history around of the area. And took us to all the great spots, he even made us lunch reservations which was unexpected. He also provided a mid tour snack and waters. There were four of us and we had a fabulous time, would high recommend.
So good and so much fun the guide was super good any questions we had he answered right away and always made sure we were good and felt good while going up and down and took our photos without us even asking
This has so far been the highlight of our trip. Dan went above and beyond for us in this tour, made sure we got to see everything we wanted, at our own pace, and is clearly incredibly knowledgeable. I don't think there was a single question about the tour he didn't know the answer to. Would highly recommend Dan and this tour to anyone exploring Oregon. Thank you Dan!
