Did a brewerie tour for my birthday. We do tours where ever we travel. This is the best experience ever. She worked hard to make the day special. From gifts, to new places, to little touches throughout the day. We had a blast. We started as just client and business, by the end of our day, my wife and I felt like we made a good friend. If on the Oregon Coast, book this folks, you will be so happy. What a great trip. Thank you for making my special day, that much more special. Service 5 stars. Stops 5 stars Oregon coast knowledge 5 stars. Beer 5 stars Wine 5 stars Overall 5 plus stars.

Thank you so much! It was so much fun to meet you both and hang out for the day/evening! I hope we get to do this again! Katie

Great fun with a great hostess! Let me preface this by establishing that this was what we booked, but as we were the only couple to sign up for the day, it went a bit differently. Katy offered a few options and we took off for a wonderful day seeing lots more than pubs. Loved every minute of it! Even got to meet her husband and dog! I’m sure the pub crawl would be fun, but going to Ecola State Park, seeing the Peter Iredale shipwreck, climbing the Astoria tower, and wishing I had seen ‘The Goonies’ were just part of our fun afternoon together. We were not disappointed that we were the only people, otherwise we wouldn’t have had such a special day. Katy is great fun and absolutely will enhance your experience. PS. Katy, I truly thought I had already posted a review already. Super sorry for the delay!

Fun Bus Experience I won a 4hr experience for 12 guests in a trivia contest. I chose to do a bar crawl from Seaside to Astoria. Our hosts were accommodating, informative, and professional. They allowed me to choose what establishments I wanted to visit, and for how long. They also provided refreshments, a cooler, Bluetooth music, sweet lighting, and Karaoke on the bus. We were also fortunate that our they had touched base with places ahead of time - affording us free drinks and places willing to stay open later. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and many of my friends are already talking about doing another crawl in the near future. Don't hesitate to book a tour of your choice with Onward Adventures, you won't regret it! 👍👍

Absolutely wonderful tour with Katie and Bill Wow ... from the very first contact, my experience with Onward Adventures was wonderful. I reached out pretty short notice and Katie responded very quickly - I then went on to book knowing that this would be a great tour and a fun day! Before the tour - Katie sent me a list of well-researched ideas on what to see as far south as Cannon Beach. We'd already done a few of the items suggested, so we collaborated on updating the itinerary before the day itself. On the day - Katie and Bill arrived at our hotel and straight away it felt like a pair of old friends showed up to show us around their area. We were celebrating 2 special occasions and the small little touches to commemorate both of those were really special (I won't go into details so that I don't spoil your surprise when you book!). Katie and Bill were knowledgeable about their local area and explained how they continue to research and learn more to make the tour-goer's experience even better. We didn't do as much touristy stuff given we are OR locals - it was all about the bar crawl for us! We made it to 9 stops (it ran a little long at no extra charge) - Katie knew when to keep us on pace and when to slow us down. She adjusted the itinerary based on getting to know us on the day and adjusting to meet our tastes and preferences. Oh, and if you are a dog person ... we were lucky enough to get some doggy love with their beautiful chocolate lab, Bailey. After the tour - Katie and Bill sent us some pictures from our special day! Book this tour - you will not regret it!

Spectacular tour company, fun, happy and obviously passionate about what they do, we initially booked a pop-culture Tour of Astoria on VIATOR that was a great deal and enjoyed Katie’s company so much we made arrangements to go digging Razor Clams with Bill, who was equally as enthusiastic about that experience, They just treated us so well; like old friends, they made our time here familiar and fascinating. I Highly recommend you check their deals. I sorta wish we were staying around longer to do the pub/distillery crawl, but my liver thinks we prioritized correctly.

Katy and Bill were the best hosts! It was like hanging out with long time, well known friends. They took us clamming and showed us how to shuck and clean them. Then they taught us a super savory chowder recipe. This is a local experience that I'll never forget!

New friends, new skills, in a new place! Katy and Bill are naturally friendly and helpful people, the best hosts! They took us clamming and taught us how to shuck and clean the razor clams known in this area. Then they taught us the most savory chowder recipe I've ever had! This is a great local experience that I'll always remember.

Wow! We feel so fortunate to have met Katie and Bill. We booked the Tour of Astoria on VIATOR and just really enjoyed how fun and passionate Katie was. so we setup another engagement to go Clam Digging at Fort Stevens State Park. This is an essential thing to do on the west coast;you see people with these diggers all over the beaches here. Bill was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable that it was infectious being around him. Then they generously showed us how to shell & prepare the Razor Clams, made us awesome drinks and we hung out like old friends. I cannot recommend anything better to do while you're here than to book a tour with Onward Adventures.

Bill and Katy were the best guides! They are naturally friendly and helpful. It's apparent they are passionate about this place and what they do. They took me out clamming. Then, they taught me how to shuck and clean the razor clams this area is known for. They taught me the perfect chowder recipe.

Beautiful day. Katie is a smooth safe driver of her 12 passenger tour bus. She is fun, personable, and very knowledgeable about the history of Astoria and its surroundings.

Weather terrible, but great tour The weather was terrible on the day of the tour. We still visited the places stated on the tour and saw Astoria. At the end of the tour we had the option to go for a drink at a local distillery, so we opted to go. It was great fun, and the drinks were AMAZING!! After we taken to some different local places not on the tour, and they were very interesting. The weather may have been terrible, but Kate and Bill made sure we experienced Astoria and had a great time.

Fantastic Tour! The tour we had of the Astoria area with Onward Adventures was amazing! We saw so many neat things - Cape Disappointment State Park, Fort Columbia State Park, The Column, Cranberry harvesting, the Haystack.... Katie was a great guide with so much knowledge about the area & where to take us. We had a fantastic time... call her & they'll arrange custom tours!!

Best Tour Ever! Best tour and tour guide I’ve ever had!! Katie was so sweet and welcoming. I was visiting Astoria with my friend for a single day and decided to book with Katie for the half day excursion from Seaside to Astoria. I was born in Astoria and wanted to see as much as I could for the day. Katie was very easy going and didn’t make us feel rushed at all which really helped to soak up the time we had there while also managing to show us so so many cool landmarks as well! One of our favorite parts of the excursion was that Katie made it customized to us and what most interested us about the area! We wanted it to be more focused on nature so she took us to a lot of outdoor stops and we were so happy with that. She touched on topics from the “past, present, and future” of Astoria/Oregon as Katie put it and I loved getting to learn so much at the same time as see so much. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Not only all of that, but Katie was so kind and cool! We had lunch with her and got to know her a bit and she’s awesome. I’d love to go on another adventure with her. If you are thinking about booking, do not hesitate! You’ll see so many beautiful places and Katie is knowledgeable on all of them! Completely worth it and a day I’ll never forget. 💕

Best fun and informative tour of Astoria Oregon Our tour guide Katie was so enthusiastic, great sense of humor and willing to accommodate our interests of Astoria! The tour was only supposed to be 2 hours; however, she added a few more points of interest such as Fort Stevens, the south Jetty and the best fish and chips at Bowpicker!!! Her knowledge of Astoria history added to the amazing tour. I would definitely recommend Onward Adventures with Katie and Bill if in Astoria.

Best Astoria Oregon tour. Katie and Bill were both Super Great. They were on time ready to go. Took us to all the high lights. I had the Best Fish N Chips at this little boat kitchen they recommended. Tour was supposed to be two hours. Since it was a small group and Katie had extra time. She went out of her way to show us extra sights. Katie was so flexible. I Highly recommend Onward Adventure. If you want experience Astoria Oregon.
