The walking tour was excellent. Damon was incredibly interesting and entertaining. I really felt like I learned a lot about the social, economic, artistic history of Portland. So glad we did this

Our driver and guide Damon at PEAK TOURS and Tours by Locals, provided a wonderful three hour tour of the city of Portland and surrounding area. Damon was informative and knowledgeable and kept our group engaged the entire time. I would highly recommend him.
Damon was our tour guide and was incredible! I recommend this tour with him 100%. We not only saw the highlights of Portland, but saw neighborhoods and different parts of Portland, including the Rose Garden that made it really special. Probably one of the best tours I have ever had and I travel a lot. Thanks Peak Tours!
Awesome tour, would highly recommend!
The Downtown Portland Discovery Walk was an absolute gem, and a highlight of my trip to Portland! Leo was an excellent guide. Our two-ish hour tour flew by thanks to his storytelling, attention to detail, and personality.
Damon was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made the tour more enjoyable.
Great tour of Portland went around the whole city touching on multiple neighborhoods. Guide was so knowledgeable and gave great information without it being overwhelming. Visiting the international rose garden was stunning our tour guide Damon was very attentive pleasant and friendly a lot of wonderful details
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Portland’s neighborhoods and the beautiful International Rose Test Garden. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Damon!
Peak Tours and Transit provided a shuttle service for our wedding, and did so perfectly. They delivered everyone safely and efficiently to and from our venue, and were very pleasant people to work with. The price was quite fair and I would happily recommend them to anyone!
Thank you, Cole. It was a pleasure serving your family at such an important event. I appreciate your thoughtful review! Damon
Took the Portland City Tour today with our guide DAMON - absolutely amazing! We covered so much in 3 hours and Damon could not have been more knowledgeable or entertaining. It was the perfect balance of driving and stopping and I felt like a Portland insider by the time it was over. If you only take one tour while you’re in Portland it should be this one!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted Damon made your Portland City Tour so informative, entertaining, and memorable.
My husband and I took a group walking tour of Downtown Portland with Damon. He was excellent- certainly knows the history of Portland and made the tour very interesting. We enjoyed it so much that we set up a private tour with him to other areas in Portland and the Willamette wine area. Again Damon showed his ability to give his wide level of knowledge and do so in an enthusiastic and engaging way.
Thank you for touring with us twice! We’re so glad Damon’s knowledge and enthusiasm made both your Portland and Willamette Valley experiences special.
