Excellent walking tour! - Our walking tour of Portland was great. Our guide was awesome. She was an excellent storyteller and did a fantastic job blending stories about Portland’s past and present, mixing in information about local architecture, urban planning and politics. We learned a ton in 2 hours.

Lovely introduction to downtown Portland - Getting the lowdown on downtown Portland from somebody born and resident here was a good introduction to the city. I felt we got some good tips and a real insight into the place and what makes it tick. Would recommend to anybody here for the first time.
