Best tour ever! The guide knows everything about the areas. She told us all the stories about the places that we visited and the movies that were filmed in the areas. Very organized and very knowledgeable. Very personable and very friendly. Me and my wife will never forget such a great adventure that Katie provided for us! Katie spent with us about 9-10 hours, a combination of driving and walking tour. If you are thinking of visiting Astoria and the surroundings, you have to book a full day tour with Katie! AMAZING. Thank you Katie!

Katie our tour guide was amazing. She tailored our tour to our interests of beaches, nature and wildlife. We even got to see a family of Elk crossing the the road in front of us. If we are back in the area we will certainly book again Katie again with Onward Adventures.

This was a top notch tour. I was provided an in depth look at the Oregon coast which enriched my trip in a way I never thought possible. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Stop reading this and book now. :)

I didn't know what to expect on this all day tour experience, but it was a blast. Katie was an exceptional guide and drove with care around Astoria's windy streets and knew the history, not only there but Warrenton and Seaside. Beautiful time walking on the beach, got Gelato and played some pinball and air hockey! In the Astoria portion I met a lady from Japan and a UK couple. People come from all over the world. On my day, Oct 29 I saw deer, elk, sea lions, geese and a bald eagle. Don't miss it. Tonya

We loved our tour. The best part was seeing all the things we didn't know existed in the area and getting to go back to explore further, both this trip and the next.
