Portland, OR Tours and Trips

Our tour guide was very well versed on everything. She ran our trip with knowledge, humor, and held our attention. She guided us, and provided us with the information needed for us to navigate on our own. We saw so many interesting things. The lobster excursion was fun. The suspension bridge was beautiful. The Botanical Gardens was an excellent part of our trip.

I love traveling with Collette Tours. This is my second tour with Collette. Chad created a wonderful experience with special side adventures. My favorite’s were the Lobster Boat ride, visiting an oyster farm, visiting Maines botanical garden and Maine food tasting!

We loved our trip. The organization of everything was great. The tour manager, Chad, was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. My favorite part was probably visiting Acadia National Park.

This was my first time doing a Collette tour happy to report. It was very enjoyable experience from booking the tour on the phone to being picked up at the house to go to the airport. We were picked up at the airport in Maine and taken to a wonderful hotel. our tour guide was Wonderful knowledgeable.. it’s hard to pick one day that was my favorite.. from lobster rolls and clam chowder to the beautiful botanical gardens are top on my list. But also love the trip on the lobster boat seeing the seals.. also love the day spent with the girls on their oyster farm. I also love just walking around the towns that we stayed in the time of year was perfect. The Rododendron’s and lilacs were in full-bloom . I highly recommend Collette and give our tour guide Don Littlefield and our driver an A+.

All and all it was a well rounded itinerary. Two points I feel necessary to comment on... 1. The visit where we listened to a native Indian speak, we watched a video and did a small craft before departing....I along with others on the tour found it extremely boring. We were expecting more dialog of the ways of the tribe but instead listened to what felt like a fantasy tale. 2. The optional dinner cruise which was 2 1/2 hours in length was too long. We (meal was delicious), socialized and had more than enough to go upstairs to see the view. The piano player was talented but having a sing along or the such would have been far more well received

Needs to include time a Seattle Center for Space Needle and Chihuly Gardens and other museums. Most famous sites in the town and we had to spend a lot of extra money for a day there
