          Awesome Well tour!
          Awesome orientation to Portland! Our guide, Marcus, was very knowledgeable about Portland’s history. It was nice to drive through neighborhoods and get acquainted with Portland. Especially loved the international Rose test garden! The views were amazing at pock mansion. Would definitely do this tour again.

          Great Tour of Oregon’s Waterfalls!
          Marcus taught us all about the best parts of Oregon! This tour is great for those who want to visit all the nature spots, but don’t have a car! Very friendly and welcoming vibe.

          Local favorites plus hidden gems!
          The guide, Marcus, was SO INFORMATIVE. We saw waterfalls off the beaten trail that you won't find otherwise. We learned so much about the area. Great!

          The Most Beautiful Waterfalls
          The waterfalls here are more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We started at Multnomah Falls. When you walk up the views are breathtaking. We visited several other falls. We had a wonderful tour guide and regrettably, I do not remember her name.

          Amazing views
          Marcus was a great guide that knew a lot of information about each spot and the state. The trip helped us to see many sites that we never would have been able to find on our own or find a parking spot. Your guide makes you feel welcome!

          Beautiful views of the gorges.
          We had a wonderful afternoon, even though it was raining. Cher was a great tour guide. Her knowledge of the area and all the foliage was extensive. The views were amazing. Every stop had a new surprise. Thank Terran Travels and Cher.

          A must try venue!
          Wonderful venue, great and courteous service and great food! We travel from Lebanon to eat there because the burgers are so good! We don't drink wine so I can't weigh in on the spirits.

          Best tour ever!!!
          My husband and I booked a private tour to see the falls and two wineries and it was worth every penny. Sam was our guide, he was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable from the start. We changed things up by going to an extra fall and only one winery, but the outdoors is so worth it. Sam also took us to some local shops and a cute donut shop that had the best Applesauce donuts, it was the first time I tried that flavor, and they were delicious. I’m so happy we booked this tour. It was all day and we got to see so much. Lunch is included. We had a delicious lunch at the winery, the scenery was beautiful and the wines were good. Oregon is beautiful! If you are thinking of booking a tour, do it, you will not regret!

          The Perfect Experience!!
          This was THE perfect tour!! I am so thankful I found this tour through Terran Travels while searching in TripAdvisor! My friend and I booked this tour to do during a weekend in Portland for our 50th birthdays. To start with, they were great with the communication. The night beforehand, I received a text from the owner, telling me what time I should meet the shuttle the next morning. Then, the next morning, we discovered there was going to be a marathon right outside our hotel, closing the street we were supposed to meet the shuttle on so when I texted the owner, we were able to figure out a street a block away to meet at. Our driver Dean showed up there and picked us up. Our tour only had 4 other people on it, so it was a nice, small size. Dean was fabulous. He knew all about the history of the area and also told us a little about his history as well-- he's a fascinating person! His delivery of the tons of information he gave us as we drove was perfect- delivered in an interesting, engaging way. We first went to go see Multnomah Falls, which I'd never seen before. Just gorgeous! We had a little time to hit the tourist store, which was great. Then we went to the first winery, Marchesi Vineyards. Very nice outdoor spot with a fire pit. The second winery was Grateful Vineyards, where we discovered a fall festival going on. I could tell Dean had not been aware of this but he handled the hiccup well and still got us a table and told us lunch was paid for. We had a delicious pear pizza, drizzled with balsamic vinegar. After the Grateful Vineyards, we drove to this cool spot near Mount Hood, where you can get out and see the moraine rocks that had been left behind by shifting glaciers years ago. The last stop was the Timberline Lodge, a cool ski area/hotel with lots of neat history. If you're researching winery tours in the Portland area, I highly recommend this group! It's much more reasonably priced than the other options out there and well worth more!

          Fantastic time visiting waterfalls and Mt Hood
          My wife and I had an amazing time. Marcus was an incredible tour guide, very helpful and informative. We stopped at different places with amazing views, had lunch at a beautiful vineyard with delicious wine and a fantastic pizza. The visit at Mt Hood was very pleasing. The van was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this tour.

        I enjoyed the tour. We only have 3 travelers in the tour. So it was a small group. Our guide was Halle. She was very knowlegdeable and fun to talk to. The path followed was good; we hit all the main spots (Mt Hood, some Sno area (forgot the name), the Draper Girls farm, Hood River, the Columbia Gorge view, Multnomak falls). The views were awesome and we were lucky that the weather was wonderful that day.

        Could have stayed in the parking lot of the Timberline Lodge (maybe just circle around the parking lot a few times until the travelers look around), and gotten more time to view Mt. Hood up close.
        The glass on the windows of the van wasn't cleaned properly.
        Also, I think the tour description mentioned snacks, but we weren't offered any.

        Marcus was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided great information about the nature, plants, vegetation and history.
        Since we were the only 2 people on the tour that day, he customized the adventure to our liking.
        It was one of the best tours we took. We had a great day and definitely recommend taking a tour with Terran travels.

        Priyanka, thank you for the great review! Marcus was very grateful that he was able to do a lot of hiking with you and Yagya, as this tour doesn't normally involve so much hiking. We hope your seminar went well!
