“a spectacular half day adventure”
Kerry was fantastic. She’s charming, tolerant and kind — a perfect people person. She gave a very informative tour of the gorge and it’s history and we made it to each waterfall as promised and back to downtown Portland for lunch. I’ve already recommended Get Your Guide to friends.

Title: 初めての海外旅行

Posted: 2015/11/12 14:34

今回のポートランドが初めての海外旅行でした。仕事の一環で視察もかねての旅立ったので不安もいっぱいで、今回初日にこのツアーに参加させていただきました。移動も慣れていなかったので、宿泊ホテルの送迎はかなり助かりました。午前中はダウンタウン中心の市内観光。もし日本人だけだったらチャイナタウンはいらなかったかも・・・。でも街を車でかなり移動したのでだいたいの地理が把握できて本当に助かりました。午後はコロンビア渓谷の大自然に。午後行ったところは、すべて車がないと行けないところで、レンタカーを借りない方には絶対におすすめのツアーです。そしてツアーも本当によかったのですが、なによりもサイコーだったのがガイドさんのお二人。この初日にポートランド人の日本語ガイドさんに出会わなければ、旅がだいぶ変わったと思います。見所はもちろんですがクラフトビールやコーヒーのお店もいっぱい教えていただき本当に助かり感謝してます。また必ずポートランドに行きたいと思いました。

今回初めて訪れたポートランドという町を効率的に理解するため、このツアーに参加しました。参加者は私たち夫婦二人のみ、幸い貸切状態で私たちの希望を最優先に対応していただきました。
ファーマーズマーケット、ノブヒル（ブルースタードーナツ入店）、パールディストリクト、タナー・スプリングスパーク、ワシントンパーク、バラ園、トム・マッコール・ウォーターフロントパークなど主な観光ポイントを下車して訪れ、懇切丁寧に説明していただきました。

I stumbled across Hub World Tours after searching for a private wine tour outfit, and boy was I extremely lucky.Hub World Tours was AMAZING!! My girlfriend and I visited Portland this past weekend and decided to do the Columbia Gorge/Wine Tour – It was definitely the highlight of our trip.Our guide, Tom, was the best. He was not only extremely knowledgeable and fun, he was also very personable and really brought the entire group together. We were part of a private group (with three other people), and they all had nothing but great things to say about Tom and the tour. Tom has an amazing heart and truly goes out of his way, in order to make sure that you have the time of your lives.We visited numerous waterfalls along the Columbia Gorge and also wine tasted at two different wineries. Tom suggested that we visit Hood Crest Winery first. Both Patrik and Tess were amazing and served up some oven-fired homemade pizzas, which were out of this world. It was so nice to have awesome food and amazing wine, while over looking Oregon’s beautiful wine country.We then went to a lookout point, which had an amazing view of the whole Willamette Valley – Awesome photo opportunity! From there, we went into town and visited the Naked Winery tasting room, which was also great.Overall, it was an extremely memorable experience and one that my girlfriend and I will never forget. Great people, beautiful sights, accompanied by tasty food and flavorful wine – I would definitely do this again!! Well done, Tom and Hub World Tours!!5 of 5 stars

Best way to enjoy Portland”
Thank you, Ron for a tremendously informative and fun day of touring. I didn’t want to go the route of renting a car and venturing out on my own on this trip so I selected 2 tours with America’s Hub. This was the perfect way to see a lot in my short stay in the city. In the morning we drove to the Columbia River Gorge and toured the falls. I liked that it was a small group so that we could ask questions and easily have an on-going conversation. Ron shared all kinds of things about the history of Portland and the state of Oregon. In the afternoon I stayed with Ron for a vineyard tour. (He dropped me off at a restaurant for lunch while picking up another couple to join the tour) The sun was shining as we tasted wine at 3 vineyards and even stopped at a buffalo ranch. Ron allowed us to customize the afternoon to our likes. I highly recommend America’s Hub to be your guides through the beautiful Portland area. I wish I had more time so that I could have done the coastal tour as well.5 of 5 stars

“Excellent experience, great day to the Falls and Mt Hood”
We did the Mt Hood Loop tour and had a wonderful day all in all. It started with a pick up at our hotel (downtown Portland), on time. We picked a second couple a voila, we were on our way. First to all the falls and several overlooks along the way. Very scenic, plenty of time to enjoy, although we wished we had more time to hike in general.
We had lunch in Hood River, at Full Sail, on our tour guide’s recommendation, we got the beer tasting sampler. For someone likes me who drinks mostly wine, the beers were actually prett tasty. Great food (salads, sandwiches and amazing bread pudding per desert).
Last a visit to Mt Hood at the Timberline Lodge. We made other peculiar stops along the way that made the trip very unique. One was a spectacular view of Mt Hood, at Panorama Point, overlooking fruit orchards. Loved it. Another one along the Columbia River tosee the parasailers, lots of them…
Again, very courteous and knowlegdeable tour guide, specially so, since the other couple was traveling with an 83 year old lady who need help inand out of the van.
Would recommend it 100%, you will not be dissapointed!5 of 5 stars

We wanted to thank you for our tour with Ron Davies. We booked in on short notice and were delighted to take a tour to the gorge waterfalls in Portland. We are from Ireland and Japan. Ron was very informative, friendly and helpful. As it was just the two of us on the tour, Ron advised that we could fit in some additional stops along the way which we were thrilled to see.

“Fantastic Day with the best guide ever.”
We were two couples in Portland for a few days and really wanted to have one day to go out of the city and see the countryside. Since we didn’t have a car we decided to see if we could find a tour co. After a quick internet search we found Americas Hub. We booked the Waterfalls and Wine tour through Debbie who was very helpful in helping us customize the day to fit our tastes. Our tour guide called an hour or so before picking us up to confirm. From the moment Ron arrived we had an amazing day. Started with a short driving tour of downtown full of information on the city, then headed out on the scenic drive to the gorge, we made stops at all the waterfalls and even one hidden falls that according to Ron, very few know about. It was really cold but to our surprise, Ron pulled out a duffle bag full of sweatshirts which we thankfully donned. He took us to the fish hatchery to meet Herman the Sturgeon, the beautiful lodge at Multnohma and up to the panoramic view of Mt. Hood which was cloudless, thanks to Ron;). The tour company arranged for a private tasting at a small winery which also specializes in homemade wood fired pizza . We sat on the lovely patio looking up at Mt. Hood enjoying great wine and yummy pizza while Ron our guide snuck off to look for a place where we would be able to have a panoramic view of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams. After leaving the winery we were, in fact, driven to the perfect spot and we’re thrilled to have the amazing view. Our second winery was equally wonderful siting among the vines listening to Italian opera and experiencing some great wines.
We had been discussing dinner plans for the evening and had made a couple attempts for reservations throughout the day and our guide, Ron, had apparently heard us. On our way back he informed us that he had made a reservation at three very different types of restaurants and we could choose the one that appealed most to us. We decided on City Grill which is located downtown on the 30th floor with amazing views of the mountains and Ron delivered us to the front door!
It was a wonderful day made even better by a very experienced and knowledgable guide who constantly went out of his way to make our time in Oregon memorable. I would highly reccommend these folks, you won’t be disappointed.5 of 5 stars

Review for wine tour in the Hood River on March 9, 2014 – Ron Davies was our tour guide.
“Did an all-day private wine tour through the Hood River with Ron as our tour guide. All I can say is “WOW”! Not only did we get to experience the different climate zones and literally go through a rain forest on the way to the wineries in Hood River, we also had the best of the best guide us through! The scenery was beyond breath taking and the water falls were amazing! Ron had some suggestions of what to see (as this was our first tour) and we let him take the wheel (literally and figuratively)! The wineries that Debbie (who I had spoken to previously to book the tour) chose for our tour matched our tastes perfectly and Ron followed up her work with insights and information regarding the wineries and the area in general! We could not have asked for a better tour guide and hope to take more tours with Ron at the helm on our subsequent visits to Portland!

We had a great small group consisting of a family, a couple, and me as a solo traveler. The drive was beautiful and scenic, and Ron took us to see a lot of different sites all within a relatively short distance from one another. He told us interesting info about the area and kept it light and fun. He had a great disposition and showed that he had a passion for Portland and the surrounding areas, particularly the gorge area. There was not a dull moment — and I got lots of great photos. I would even take the same tour again when I’m next in the area in addition to trying one of the others. I took a few different tours while in Portland, but can say without hesitation that this is my favorite. I highly recommend it — make sure to ask for Ron.

Over the years my family and I have taken many guided tours of American cities. Often we use the Grayline company. I was very apprehensive about selecting another company but my concerns were unfounded. Our tour of Portland and the Columbia Gorge was outstanding! With no doubt our tour guide was the best we have ever experienced. She was helpful, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. She also had a passion for history which I really appreciated.

We took the Portland City Tour last Sunday. It was excellent! The tour guide was very knowledgeable. You could tell that she has done a lot of research and knew her subject matter.

Willamette Valley Wine Tour with Tastings

“Knowledgeable guide gave us good advice”
When we began the tour, we had some suggested wineries from a friend. Debbie told us that some of the wineries were expensive, both for the product and their tasting fees. She recommended 2 others but took us to one of our requested wineries. As she had told us the wine was overpriced but underwhelming. The other 2 wineries were wonderful and spent a lot of time talking to us about their wines. We ended the day with a case of wine to take home.

This was a fantastic tour! He showed us the best the city, the gorge, and the waterfalls had to offer. He was very knowledgeable and also knew the story and history behind everything he showed us. We were the only 2 people on the tour, so we were allowed to take our time at each site and go at our own pace. This tour was the highlight of our trip.

I ended-up being the only person in the tour, since others had cancelled ! I was highly grateful and impressed that the tour had not been cancelled. I enjoyed the tour and felt like I had my own private tour guide, which is essentailly what I ended-up having. The tour guide -Gunner was a thoughtful and patient gentleman, who was kind enough to take some photos of me . I didn’t feel “short changed” nor rushed. On the contrary, the complete tour was still provided with excellent customer service with professionalism and respect. I was picked-up and dropped off at the hotel. The tour guide was forthcoming, knowlegeable, good sense of humor and approachable. I’m very thankful that his boss-David did not cancel the tour and I personally called him the following day to thank him. Needless, to say, I recommend this company and the tour. I wish that I had also taken the Downtown Portland Tour, but regretfully, I didn’t!

I wanted to take a moment to tell you about one of your employees, Steve, and let you know how much I appreciate him. Yesterday, here in Portland, OR, I was on a 31 mile trail run on the Wildwood trail. Mile 27 of this trail goes right past Pittock mansion. Normally, I would be okay on this type of run, but yesterday, by the time I got to Pittock Mansion, I was in some trouble. I felt very sick, cold, and sore. There was absolutely no way I could finish my run, which ended 4 miles away at the Zoo. I could barely walk without limping. Not really sure what I was going to do, or how I was going to get back to the zoo, I ran across Steve, who took pity on me. He offered to give me a ride to the zoo. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated his kindness, given how miserable I was feeling. Not only did he drive me the 4 miles to the zoo, but he gave me a mini tour along the way. I wanted to compensate him, but he would not accept it. Steve also talked about the tours he gives and he gave me a company brochure. This is how I got your e-mail. I wanted to let you know, that you have a real solid employee in Steve. He represented himself and your company extremely well. It is because of him, that I will hold onto your brochure and recommend your organization to my friends and family that come to town and are looking to go on some fun tours. Please pass this message on to the appropriate persons. The guides name was Steve and he was at Pittock Mansion around noon on Saturday, December 29th.

“Fantastic City Tour!”
Really great experience. David ably and kindly made last-minute arrangements for us, and Debbie was a truly great guide: no cheesy speeches or forced participation, just friendly and knowledgeable guidance. Since we were there on a Monday in the very off-season, my husband and I were Debbie’s only clients on that trip; that made it very easy to ask questions and linger on discussions. Fantastic tour of Portland’s neighborhoods and a few extra highlights like the aerial tram and the Pittock Mansion grounds (the house itself is closed in January). Really looking forward to taking their other tours on my next trip to Portland (which, largely thanks to this tour, will be ASAP).

“Take the waterfalls tour with this company – is a must!”
Took the waterfalls tour with a friend and another tourist. Tour started with a visit to the Vista House (sadly closed during February, but even so it’s a remarkable place to visit) and ended at the Bonneville Dam (not originally included in the tour but our guide treated us to it). Our tour guide was Debbie and I must say she’s more than that. She was super friendly and knowledgeable on topics ranging from the history of the Lewis and Clark trail to geology and salmon reproduction cycles (it makes perfect sense while taking the tour), making the experience even more enjoyable.
There are more than five waterfalls but the hands-down winner is the last one on the tour: Multnomah Falls. Breathtaking and Spectacular. There’s a visitor center here, and adjacent to it, at the back, there’s a super cosy restaurant with a fireplace. Did not have the chance to try the food but the place is not to be missed. Don’t forget the camera!

“City and Falls Tour- both excellent”
The tour guide was excellent and our group was very diverse. The tour guide was very adaptable after a tree fell on the parkway road and we had to take a detour which extended the length of the trip. The tour guide did not hurry the group even though it meant delaying the start of his Friday evening. Our guide was very knowledgable and we have some excellent pictures to show for our tour.

“Great tour for single travelers in Portland.”
I came to Portland with a plan to tour the city on my own, and use a tour company to visit the falls. I had problems booking a tour because I just kept finding small tour operators that had problem accomidating a weekday tour (they usually require 6 people in order to conduct a tour).
As a last ditch effort I contacted my hotel concierge on a Saturday night at 9:30pm. He called me back by 10pm with this tour company information and booked the Waterfall tour for me.
After being in Portland by myself for 1/2 a day, I realized that due to Portland’s large homeless population, I was uncomfortable exploring the city on my own. So I upgraded to the combo tour and added an afternoon city tour to my package. I called the company around 8am on the morning of my waterfalls tour, and it was easily done. I just paid the first tour guide for the combo tour.
I took the “Portland City Tour/Waterfalls Combo” tour. It was actually 2 seperate tours. The guides picked us up at our various hotels in a small passenger mini-van, they drop you off at your hotel or other areas in the city by your request. You have to use a step to climb in and out of the van. The Waterfall tour was 9am-1pm, and the city tour was from 2pm to 6pm.
In the first tour there were four of us and the group was made up of a nice older married couple (in their 50′s) and an older (60′s) single female. The female guide was really good, very informative and patient. It was a very scenic drive. We stopped at Latourell Falls, Multnomah Falls and Horsetail Falls and Crown Point Vista House. We had to hike about 1/4 in some of the falls, and the vista house had beautiful views.
The second tour the group was made up of five of us, 2 older married couple (in their 50′s) and me. The tour guide was a male and he drove us around various spots in Portland and to Pittock Mansion. He was very knowledgeable about Portland, about the hot spots to hit and the various breweries. I would have liked to make more stops and walk around a little more. At the end of the tour he dropped me off by the NW 23rd street area to explore, about 1 hour later I realized I had left my souvenirs in his van, I called the tour company and talked to the owner. He called me back within 15 minutes to inform me that the tour guide had already dropped off my bag at the hotel! I was very delighted with how accomidating and responsive they were.
The tour company had very good customer service and I would really recommend them to anyone. Although some reviews mentioned that the tour could be boring, and I could see that, I would have liked the city tour to be more walking and exploring but I didn’t want to do a walking tour because I wasn’t sure how strenous it’d be. Overall I was very satisfied!

“Columbia River Gorge is a must see tour!”
I had the pleasure of taking this tour with a small group of four. Sergio Ortiz was our tour guide and what an excellent guide he turned out to be. Sergio explained the history of the area and also provided us with his expertise in photography thus allowing me to be able to capture some excellents photos of the Columbia River Gorge. If you are ever in Portland and decide to take the tour contact Hub World Travel and ask for Sergio…you can’t go wrong!

“Awesome service”
We had somewhat a private tour with one of the guide tours and she (Ramona) was specular. Very energetic and enthusiastic about taking their tourists to places. She’s very knowledgeable in places that she took us to, Oregon State Park, Canon beach, Manzanita and a walk to the beach through the forest. We had a very good time and fond memories of these places. Strongly recommend America’s Hub World Travel as your service for any Oregon tours and especially with Ramona as your tour guide. We love the way she treated her tourists and how she actually made our trip more exciting. One thing we liked the best was that it was serviced at your door. Picking up and dropping off the tourists at the hotel beats anything. There’s no need to meet up at a certain location, just stay at the hotel. Thank you, Ramona, for giving us a grand tour of the beach. You’ve been the best tour guide we’ve ever had.

“Enthusiastic Guide, Personal Attention, Worth Every Penny”
If I were still skeptical of tours, the two with Hub I took in Portland would have cured me. My grown daughter and I took both the walking tour and the coastal tour on 2 gorgeous days in mid-May, and because the season was not quite under way, we were the only guests both times. Our guide, Ramona, brought knowledge and wit and a bit of fun attitude as well. The tips we picked up gave us an agenda for the remaining 3 days on our own. The owner, David, takes a personal interest in making it a satisfying experience. By accident my credit card was double billed but he was quick to rectify the problem and very apologetic. With the coastal tour you get several stops for scenic views and time for lunch on your own, plus an interesting background of history, geology and miscellaneous facts. The frank “insider’s” perspective is difficult to pick up from books and magazine articles. This was a high point of our visit.

“Superb tour of Portland & waterfalls with a great guide!”
We took this Portland City Tour/Waterfalls Combo this past March and had a great and educational time. Mind you, if you truly want to LEARN and see the best sights of the city with an experienced guide this is your place! Our tour was unusual as we went off season and it was raining so we (me and hubby) ended up the only ones on the tour that day.
We ended up getting a wonderful private tour of the best sights of Portland filled with history and cool details from Sergio Ortiz, our super smart and interesting tour guide. Bonus points that he also happens to be working as a professional photographer and even gave me great tips for getting the best travel shots I am also about to launch my own site! He was very personable and answered all of our questions and then some!
Mind you, this is an educational and not gimmicky tour. You will see the best sights at a good pace but the tour is long and requires lots of moving about due to waterfalls. I would definitely recommend this to anyone truly interested in seeing a city, learning its history and any other modern details from a smart and professional company!

“Highly Recommended”
This is a great tour, particularly for first time visitors who are short on time. I was visiting Oregon for a conference, and I was able to squeeze in the Coastal Tour. Booking was easy. The scenery was beautiful, we got a taste of different parts of the area, and our guide, Ramona, was funny and knowledgeable about the region. Also, they are very considerate, I left my flip-flops in the tour van, and the company dropped them off at my hotel the next day. I was only sorry I didn’t have time to do the city tour or the Columbia River Gorge tour.
