Pedal Bike Tours

It was my boyfriend & I first trip to Portland. We decided to do the bike tour. We took the Colombia Gorge River with Daniel. He was knowledgeable about the history of Oregon, and provided us with so much facts on all 6 waterfalls. He was patient, funny and made our trip unforgettable! He even gave us places of where to go eat & drink throughout Portland. I don’t think we could’ve asked for a better tour guide. A must do if you’re in Portland. Ask for Daniel!

My husband and I now make it a point to rent bikes whenever we visit a new city — it’s a great way to cover a ton of ground without getting totally exhausted in the process. Gannon and the rest of the team at Pedal Bike were great. They gave us great tips on getting to the Rose Garden (without going up hill the entire way!) and were easy and friendly. $ 30 per bike for an entire day of sightseeing can’t be beat. Would definitely recommend.

We had such a great time on the hike and bike tour through the Columbia River Gorge to see all the amazing waterfalls. Our guide, Sarah was awesome and so informative throughout the whole trip. We even stopped at a small fruit stand (with the most amazing cherries) before we started our bike and hike trek. The bike ride was just beautiful — filled with the best scenery! But the highlight of the trip were all the waterfalls we got to see. It was a hot day so the waterfalls really cooled us down! For those who are a bit out of shape — this can be a bit of a struggle — there are some small hills to bike over and you have to hike up to see some of the waterfalls — but I think if you just take your time, you’ll be okay. Sarah was really accommodating to those who were struggling — they were able to go to the next stop in the van instead of biking there. If you’re ever visiting Portland — this is a great way to explore and see all of the greenery close by. I would definitely do this again!

Had an amazing time at the waterfalls and Daniel was a great tour guide. We will definitely be coming back with more people next time

First time in Portland and this was one of the best experiences ever! Daniel was an awesome tour guide and was very informative. :)

The Colombia gorge tour was amazing! As long as you know how to ride a bike, you’ll be able to make it. My 60 year old parents made it! It’s 6 waterfalls + 9 mile bike! Make sure you eat breakfast before you go, you’ll need the energy! Daniel is a walking historian, and his knowledge about Oregon is quite impressive! Thank you so much for making our first visit in Portland a memorable one! =]

Daniel took us on an amazing adventure through the Colombia River Gorge on the tour bicycles. His knowledge of the area was extensive, and his stories were very entertaining. His outgoing and friendly personality really delivered a wonderful experience. I would recommend Daniel highly, he really made us all feel very welcome. A really special bike ride to all the waterfalls. We recommend this tour.

Perfect Portland activity, Evan was great (he might be the nicest human being I have ever met)!!
We ended up choosing the Downtown tour, or as Evan called it, the «nerd tour!» We biked all around the city and learned all sorts of things, some very very intense history lessons and some fun facts. We even ended up at the Farmer’s Market for a good 40 minutes which was great because it’s pretty much the best Farmer’s Market I’ve ever seen (and because I was starting to run low on bicycle fuel). AND even when I got a flat tire, Evan fixed it up in 9 minutes and we were off again! I never bike at all but the area is very flat and manageable and the bikes are easy to use. Recommended!

We couldn’t imagine touring the Columbia River Gorge during the busy Memorial Day holiday without using this company… the staff, especially our tour guide Daniel, was professional, patient, & accommodating.

Pretty much the only tour you need to take here. Route is all flat, make sure you take it all in at the Crystal Ballroom, and work off all the beer/​streetfood calories you intook.

My husband and I did the Colombia River Gorge tour yesterday! The scenic tour itself was amazing but what made it awesome were our tour guides Evan and Taylor. They had great knowledge about Oregon history and they recommended local breweries and eateries. Both were very personable and friendly. You could tell they love their job!

Honestly, I was really hesitant to do this tour. Not because I hate nature or anything. I’m just out of shape LOL.
I’m glad I did it though. This was one of the highlights on my Portland trip. I’m not the active type, but the satisfaction of being able to finish this makes you feel so good.
Sarah was our tour guide, and she was awesome. She knew her stuff and was very and I mean VERY patient with my group on the tour. We did the Columbia George Tour ($ 99, $ 89 after triple A discount) and it comes with a water bottle.
If you are thinking whether or not this tour is worth it. IT IS. It’s something you should do once in your life. I mean, when are you ever going to ride a bike in the pouring rain to see beautiful waterfalls and Mother Nature? If you are worried about not being able to do this. You can! Just take your time, I took my time and was able to finish it in the end. Plus at some points if you are not able to do it, there is no shame in walking or asking your tour guide to pick you up.
Overall, it was a hard ride for myself, but it was totally worth it.

Daniel was an awesome host. The brewery choices were excellent and the tots at McMennanmens were amazing. Thanks!

My boyfriend and I had an awesome time on the beer and bike tour with Scotland as our tour guide. With the tour being only the two of us Scotland was able to cater the breweries and tasting to samples that we would like. We had a great time learning about the city from Scotland since we are from Cleveland and are not familiar with the area. Scotland also gave awesome recommendations of what to see in the city after the tour was over. I highly recommend to anyone looking to take a tour to ask for Scotland! He’s awesome!
Also– the bike ride was very flat and simple. No need to wear any specific biking gear. Just whatever you would walk downtown in would be perfect!

I’m buzzed, so you know this is legit…
— LOTS of booze… probably 7 pints in.
— Daniel and crystal were the best… TIP THEM!
— Easy biking… didn’t break a sweat… wear whatever you would to walk around town
Recommended to friends, family… would do again.
Go Lakers!

I highly recommend this bike tour. I had a solo bike tour today and it was fun. Even when it rained it went well. My tour guide, Daniel was very knowledgable and very patient. He was a great tour guide. Portland is a very nice city. I might just move here. Hahah! Thanks, Daniel!

Awesome awesome awesome!!! Sarah was incredible! We took the Gorge bike tour and it was nothing short of breathtaking! My husband loves to cycle and I’m pretty much the definition of an amateur, the trail she had us on catered to all levels!

My boyfriend I had the best bike tour ever with our guide Evan!
We were super lucky and were the only two people for the brewery bike tour.
First we headed down the waterfront where we passed beautiful cherry blossom trees that were in bloom. And learned all about the history of Portland, the bridges, etc.
Then we were off to the breweries, where we were treated to a flight of beer at each. Our very knowledgeable guide gave us beer recommendations based on our tastes. We were even given a small tour and explanation of the brewing process at one brewery and a tour of a historic dancehall at another.
Would absolutely recommend anyone visiting Portland to take a bike tour on their first day, because this allows you to get around the city a lot quicker and to see all the sites!

Hoping to make the most of my week I’m Portland, I signed up for a bike tour of downtown with Pedal Bike Tours. It is one of the best decisions I’ve made while traveling.
Signing up for a ride is a breeze: just go to their site, choose a date and one of the two daily ride times, and congratulate yourself for an amazing choice.
The staff is quite friendly and knowledgeable about Portland’s history, culture, and attractions. Some of the restaurant recommendations they made literally upgraded my day (Blue Star Donuts= happiness).
My tour guide, Daniel, was well informed about the various neighborhoods that we passed through. His passion for Portland and for bicycling shone through and was infectious (in a good way… I promise). He was more than willing to answer any questions or to stop for photos. Riding with him was a pleasure.
In closing, if you’re ever in Portland and would like a crash course in how to Portland while traveling like a native with cool people, Pedal Bike Tours is a must.

The biking tour was definitley the highlight of my 5 day Portland trip. I got a great work out, was able to see all the beautiful waterfalls in Portland, and learned so much about its history.
The tour that I booked was the Colombia River Gorge (which I highly, highly recommend for anyone who wants to have the whole Portland experience). It’s about 9 miles in total to bike with many stops in between to enjoy the waterfalls. The longest bike ride without stopping is about 3 miles with lots of downhill. It is definitely not too strenuous and anyone can do it.
Daniel was such an awesome tour guide! He was funny, relatable, and gave good recommendations as well as interesting facts about the city. Request for Daniel as your tour guide if you want a guaranteed amazing experience!
