- Hood River: Head to Multnomah Falls, Oregon's tallest waterfall at 620 feet. Learn how the falls are fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain and are usually highest during the winter and spring seasons. Multnomah Falls is also one of the best places in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to study geology exposed by floods. As the most-visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest, it's the ideal spot to snap pictures to add to your travel album.

Excellent Tour and Service - Small Group - Friendly Group of Travelers. Our guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* and driver *Personal information removed by Feefo* were attentive to our needs. *Personal information removed by Feefo* went out of her way to give me a paper copy of the daily schedule as we had difficulty getting the picture of it on our cellphone. *Personal information removed by Feefo* drove the bus smoothly and there were no bus mishaps. Good itinerary, excellent guide and driver. Lavender field, Olympic Park, and Aviation were interesting places to visit. It would be better if the final hotel (Hilton) had a refrigerator to keep our refillable water bottles cold as well as a clock in the room.

The tour director and the bus driver were amazing. It was a lot of time on the bus. There could have been more stops along the way. Although this was a good group, I personally don't like such large groups. I also prefer more immersive experiences.

Fun, Adventure and Relaxing I missed having a free Trafalgar pick up and return to Airport. It added more to the cost of the trip. Otherwise everything else excellent. Sites were great, slower pace, Tour Director and Bus Driver were fantastic. I can not say enough on what a good team they are. I would have liked to have seen more of Oregon's rocky coast. I don't know how it happened, but what a wonderful group of people I got to travel with. We really had a lovely trip.

Trafalgar's service was excellent. Tour guide and bus driver were excellent!! We had the best tour guide and bus driver ever! Absolutely no reflection on our tour leaders but stepping over homeless doing drugs and peeing on walls was definitely not a sight I would like to see again. Viewing between the two big cities was spectacular.

Excellent trip, great company, good service. Tour director and coach driver were great. A well- balanced tour with a great number of stops the only thing missing is a visit to Mount Rainier - I got into Seattle a day earlier and took that trip first before joining the coach tour.
