- Darcie L1 contributionThank you Escape Games PDX for hosting us for a Make-A-Wish party. The wish kid and family truly had a wonderful time solving the puzzles in the Portlandia Room!Written 10 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ed-Cheryl WMcMinnville, Oregon, United States65 contributionsWe had 6 people work the Hyde room, and it was somewhat challenging, but clearly not hard. I think a great starter room. Some clever ideas, and decorated nicely.Written 9 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Michele EAlpharetta, GA133 contributionsReally fun way to see the city along the river and especially the falls and locks (nonfunctional). The guides were great and entertaining. Be prepared to get really wet though as they love doing 360s to entertain and soak the guests.Written 10 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jill SSalem, OR13 contributionsI went on the overnight adventure with a friend to celebrate my birthday and it was just amazing. Highly recommend. Leo (our guide) was the best mix of being open to conversation and questions, and also allowing us to be quiet and just bask in the views. The sunset was incredible! The Perseid meteor shower was happening and we saw shooting stars with an almost unobstructed view. It was so quiet, I slept really well in the hammock (it helped having slept in my own many times before), especially with the under-quilt provided for warmth. I wish we had taken more time to appreciate the tree after we came down, because it was the star of the show! The hardest part was hiking to the tree - it's over a mile walk, uphill, with backpacks, and the second hardest part was hauling the backpack up, so if you aren't into that, skip the overnight and just come for the sunset (ie: no backpack).Written 17 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AspirationalFoodieKaysville, UT8 contributionsKurt (our guide) was funny, knowledgeable, and kept a good lookout for us all, without making the trip feel slow or weird.Written 1 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike F1 contributionEmbark curated an amazing journey in Cusco Peru. We kicked off the trip off in the City Square in Cusco with the winter solstice and Cusco city anniversary celebrations. This was perfectly timed to soak up as much culture and color while acclimatizing before our Ausangate journey.
We started our trek at Rainbow Mountain where we took in the first of the beautiful topography in the Cusco region and a beautiful sunset.
Our guide, Claudio, was exceptional and helped to teach us about the history of the highlands, the Incas, and much more. Exploring and trekking the highlands was the highlight of the trip for me. Physically difficult hikes with beautiful views at every pass and every turn made the trip amazing and awe inspiring.
I can not wait for my next trip with Embark, they've thought of almost every detail to make your adventure a memorable and life changing experience.Written 20 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had 10 people in our group and all had a great time.Written 29 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carolyn F1 contributionREA supplied our group with exceptional guides Kaylee & Dani! They were very familiar with the area we hiked, and knowledgeable in everything backpacking! They had to modify plans due to fire areas and differing hiking abilities of members in our group (including myself), and did so with easy-going professionalism.
I would recommend REA for anyone's adventure, and if you're lucky enough to get Kaylee or Dani as a guide, they are awesome!Written 18 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

John made sure we were comfortable and safe. We definitely would do this again.Written 27 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MtBakerFarmEastsound, WA79 contributionsWe absolutely loved our helicopter flight around Seaside and Cannon Beach! Tyler, our pilot, was just great. I could have stayed up all afternoon, and the price was so affordable! Highly recommend this tour… we took the 15 minute tour but could easily have stayed up.Written 21 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
