The tour was good, but we wish we have more time at the waterfalls to take pictures. In my opinion the trolley driving too fast.
We are sorry that we did not fully meet your expectations to get 5 stars. The tour is a hop on hop off tour as was explain but the booth staff and drivers. You could have hopped off and on at those falls you wished to spend more time at. We have suggested itineraries and reversing itineraries on our web site to help you plan your day. Yours is the first comment we have gotten in 5 years that has mention the trolleys driving too fast, so any thought is that you are referring the e not spending more time in front of each waterfall while blocking a state highway. The nature of a hop on hop off tour is so you hop off at those stops at which you have an interest.
When sitting in the back be ready to hang onto your hats as the wind can easily blow them off. Bring a light jacket just in case, we went on a warm day but, naturally, there is a breeze. Few stops with a bathroom, and if that’s all you need, remember you’ll be at that stop for an hour, so just be aware of that. Bumpy ride so hang on, lol!
Our guide was marvelous! Our guide was patient and pleasant. She explained the the upcoming stops thoroughly throughout the tour. The ride was quite enjoyable and relaxing. Thank you for making our trip special.
How much better to be able to watch the scenery than the road and get good information along the way!
Thank you for the 5 stars
It was a great way to see the waterfalls without dealing with the CRAZY traffic and parking. The drivers were so nice.
Thank you for the 5 Star review and for hopping on with us!
We were on the fence whether to book the trolley or just drive ourselves. We used to live in Portland and visit often. However, with the lack of parking during the busy summer season and the need to purchase a pass for Multnomah Falls, we decided to try the trolley. What an amazing experience! On the trolley, you get to really take in the views vs driving and watching every curve in the winding road. It was so fun to just relax and watch all of the amazing views. Also, my son was unexpectedly hospitalized the day of our booked ticket. The company was SO wonderful and said that we could try to make it after he was discharged, if he was able to come. Our trip was extended due to the hospitalization, and we were able to do this tour on our day before leaving. They were so kind and flexible, which was really lovely. I also appreciated the tip that if you wanted to do less than an hour at vista point / vista house, it was easy to just drive the 8 mins back over after the tour in your own vehicle. They had so much info after booking with timing and potential itineraries. Really loved every minute with them!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're glad everything worked out!
Everything about this tour was 5 stars! Crystal, our guide, was incredible! So knowledgeable and kind and funny! This is by far the best way to visit Multnomah Falls especially this time of the year on a weekend! We were able to visit 3 separate falls and see other amazing views in less than 4 hours! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We'll let Crystal know- it will make her day! Thanks for hopping on with us!
The trolley experience was worth it. I loved the ability to hop on and off at the destination of my choice. Parking is limited in most stops, and the road can get narrow with blind spots; which is why the trolley was perfect. Anne was my favorite driver. I would do this again (just more prepared). Bring your hiking shoes, water, and maybe some snacks if you plan to do more than a stroll.
Thanks for the 5 star review and for hopping on with us!
This trip was convenient, the driver was informative, Save parking hassles and the road traffic was terrible. I would use them every time.
Thanks for the 5 star review! Glad we got you through the traffic for a great day on the Waterfall Corridor!
Great views. Very informative and easy to use. Very relaxing
Thanks for the 5 stars! We're glad you enjoyed your tour!
