Portland Short Bus
When you’re a tourist in a very popular city area, people will try to pull you towards a million things they think are quintessential to your trip. Instead, show them what you’re about with a trip on the Portland Short Bus! A fun way to experience the city, Nicole Pittman talks to us about how she got started and what it is she can offer.
Portland Short Bus Service:
Together with her husband, Kyle, the two of them started an amazing journey of the idea that they wanted to have fun, and enjoy something they both love to do—wine tasting! With their guided tours taking people all around Portland, it’s no wonder why they’re such a success, and in our interview, Nicole happily breaks that success down for us.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
All about Portland’s Short Bus, Lucille (named after Lucille Ball!), how she came to be, and what kind of tours Nicole can offer you a ride on, ranging from private events to bachelor and bachelorette parties.
The PDX Urban Wine Tour, their most popular attraction, and why Nicole thinks it does so well. With a unique twist on a typical wine tasting, the Short Bus brings you to fifteen different wineries with a goal of trying and tasting as many goodies as you can—and for a low cost, too! Nicole also explains how the idea came to fruition, and what exactly you can expect to taste while you’re on the road.
The easy-to-use and fully stocked website, portlandshortbus.com! Nicole tells us how simple it is to look up travel times for various tours, find all needed booking information for private events, and the simple process of purchasing tickets for wine tours (and others) online with one simple click! Additionally, she tells us how flexible they can be when planning for private events, and how Nicole ensures safety for her passengers with designated drop off locations at the end of each tour.
Nicole breaks down exactly how this small “mom and pop shop” got started back in 2012, and she further explains where the idea for starting the company came from. She also tells us how the company has grown over these past 5 years, and how she plans to expand moving forward into the winter season.
