MY NAME'S NATHAN, AND I'LL BE YOUR BRIDGE TOUR GUIDE....

I moved to Portland in 2003 and began leading tours of downtown Portland in 2006, as a street-theater walking tour project that was awarded grant funding by the Regional Arts and Culture Council. These walking tours were first inspired by--and are still sustained by--my love of Portland and its special sense of place. In 2010 I began leading bridge tours of the sort I still guide today: teaching groups of all ages about the bridges of Portland. As a professional tour guide, I'll bring my excitement about Portland and almost twenty years of tour guide experience to planning and leading unique tours for each of my groups.

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE WRITING ABOUT PDX BRIDGE TOURS AND TOUR GUIDE NATHAN HOOVER....
Picture
"The annual bridge trip has become a right of passage in third grade at our school... something students talk about for years.  Both parents and students are quite excited to participate in these trips and it has become the most sought after trip to chaperone.  One year I had a parent who's an engineer that actually builds bridges participate, and he was very impressed with Nathan's work."
  -RODRIGO AGUIRRE, BEACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER

"We appreciate all of the research you did to specifically cater to our interest in the Ross Island Bridge. My students left feeling inspired, invigorated and happy to have spent a day learning. As a teacher, I couldn't have asked for more."
  -ALICIA ALLEN, IVY SCHOOL TEACHER

"Your tour has inspired our boys. They have all connected on Roblox since we got home [and] are working together to build a working Hawthorne Bridge replica."
  -CHARITY DART, CUB SCOUT DEN LEADER

"Nathan greeted us with warmth, enthusiasm, and a clear plan that kept the kids engaged and safe. The walking route was the perfect balance of structured learning and discovery, with just the right amount of physical activity for young students. Nathan adds flexibility in unplanned moments, like watching a train cross the Steel Bridge just before it lifted for a tugboat...! Nathan's storytelling and knowledge made each stop meaningful, and he always had something interesting to share as well as patient answers to kids' questions.... It was a day filled with learning, wonder, and fun-- an unforgettable experience for our students and teachers alike."
  -THERESA BECK VAN HEEMSTRA, L'ETOILE FRENCH IMMERSION SCHOOL TEACHER
