Experience the highlights of Astoria with our guided tour! Our guided transportation tour offers an overview of the town, providing insight into its rich history, famous landmarks, historic homes, and movie scenes. We'll also show you the best shops, restaurants, and upcoming events, and recommend eateries, museums, and additional tours to explore. Additionally, we provide pamphlets with in-depth details to satisfy your curiosity. The tour lasts approximately 3 hours, allowing you to thoroughly indulge your interests.
Our pickup time is 9:30 AM, unless it's a cruise day. On cruise days, we pick up one hour after the ship docks. I will make sure to send a text the day before and when I'm on my way. Pickup times may vary and could be after 10 AM, depending on the number of places we need to pick up from, as Onward Adventures picks up from multiple locations.
Cruise Guest Booking Reminder
If you are arriving by cruise ship, please select the Tour of Astoria option that includes your cruise line name and date on TripAdvisor rather than the general Tour of Astoria listing.
This option is designed specifically for cruise guests so we can keep the tour running smoothly and on schedule.

Meeting Locations
If you are arriving by cruise ship, please make your way to our designated pickup location just outside the port property. Detailed directions will be provided with your booking confirmation, and you will see the Onward Adventures bus waiting for you.
When you leave your ship, you will walk under a gazebo with a sign that reads Welcome to Astoria. Stay on that sidewalk. You will pass local vendors selling things on the left. You will also pass a bike tour on your left.. On your right, you will see the port Cruise buses. Just keep walking on the sidewalk. At the end, there is a gate that will be opened. Walk through it. On the left is an old hotel, and on the right is Bornstein Fish Packing Company. Keep walking the sidewalk. When you reach the 4-way stop, you will see my Onward Adventures bus on the other side of the road. This is the closest I can get to the port property.
At this 125-foot Column, you will see the fantastic views, listen to the history, smell the coastal air, and take in the challenge of climbing the stairs. People leave this place feeling light, breathing in the accomplishments of yesterday's and today's challenges.
