Itinerary
We’ll start our tour in in the vehicle, meandering through historic downtown Portland as we make our way to the Park Blocks. This area boasts museums and a collection of performing arts centers among other intricacies. From here, we’ll cross the Willamette River to drive through some of the areas of the east side of Portland.
Our first stop will be at the International Rose Test Garden, earning Portland one of its proud titles as “City of Roses.” As the oldest official continually running public rose test garden in the United States, it features over 650 unique rose varieties across 10,000 bushes. During the winter season, when the rose garden is not at its peak, we will substitute this stop for the Hoyt Arboretum, where we will learn about the trees and plants of the Pacific Northwest!
Duration: 20 minutes
Admission Ticket Free
Onward to Pittock Mansion for our second stop of the tour. Saved from demolition in 1964, the mansion now resides as a historic house museum with expansive gardens and a manicured lawn. Though we are not able to visit the interior of the mansion itself, our guests will have ample time to explore the exteriors of the mansion's grounds and gardens while enjoying the breathtaking city view.

Admission Ticket Free
Once we have finished exploring the grounds of the Pittock Mansion, we’ll pass through more of Portland’s most famous neighborhoods, including Nob Hill and NW 23rd Avenue, the Pearl district (where we will find another Portland landmark: Powell’s Books, the world’s largest independently-owned new and used book store!) and the historic Chinatown district.
Our last stop on the tour will be the beautiful Lan Su Chinese Garden, one the most authentic Chinese gardens outside of China! As most of the plants featured are indigenous to China, guests will have the opportunity to view many beautiful species otherwise not seen in the Pacific Northwest as we stroll through the gardens.
