Hello from beautiful Portland, Oregon! My name is Damon, and my passion is creating engaging, personalized tours for travelers who appreciate my broad knowledge base and talent for storytelling. For years, I've had the pleasure of being the go-to guide in this region for renown travel organizations. I have hosted guests from cruise lines, solo travelers, honeymooners, retired couples, families, and visitors from around the world. I have an excellent understanding of what makes a tour truly special, particularly for active seniors, though I am able to pivot to accommodate all age groups. As a teacher, actor, and history buff, I pride myself on creating journeys that are both informative and genuinely enjoyable. I love sharing stories and conversations with my guests, and I take care in tailoring the day to your interests. You'll travel in the comfort of a spacious, modern tour van, ensuring a smooth ride with great views, as we explore and I provide commentary. If you don't see an offering that fits your needs, feel free to reach out. I look forward to showing you around!
