Learn the storey of the Portland, Oregon while enjoying its highest and most intimate viewpoints, smelling roses, wandering through gardens, peaking into a forested park and sampling donuts.

After we pick you up at Director Park city centre, we’ll drive up the city's north/south dividing line, head to the summit of King’s Heights, and walk the grounds of the mansion built by a newspaper baron to the view that was once available only to the city’s elite.

We'll visit Washington Park, and walk through our favourite secret garden, and into the Rose Test Garden. In season, we'll smell the roses – literally and figuratively!

Next: the city centre and cultural district. It wouldn't be Portland without a stop for doughnuts, so we'll discuss the history of the city's foundation and the design of these blocks after we duck into one of our favourite shops and grab a treat.

We'll visit the South Waterfront, an inner Eastside area, and give you lots of foodie ideas before we drop you off!
