Was gifted a Forktown Food Tour and WOW was it amazing! It was the perfect way for locals and…read morevisitors to see a different size of Portland. We just moved from Denver a few years ago so always looking for good eats! We decided to check out a neighborhood that we've never explored ourselves and we had such a great time. We took the Mississippi Ave Tour and really enjoyed the different eats that was picked out for us! We started at the food carts and had some delicious BBQ then walked a couple blocks and got to try this delicious glass noodle salad and local wine. Honestly, I was pretty full already from those first two stops but we had two more to go! We ended up going to a local brewery as well as a dairy-free ice cream shop! Being lactose intolerant, I was ECSTATIC to know that this ice cream place was all dairy free! Everyone was pleasantly surprised at the texture of the ice cream and the different flavors that was offered! Being locals we weren't sure what to expect in a group setting but everyone was a joy to be with. Our group consisted of friends celebrating a birthday and a married couple that was visiting for the weekend from Seattle. Our guide Heidi lead us on a delicious trip around Portland and cannot wait to attend her other tours or even possibly her food tours abroad! It was such a pleasure to spend a lovely Saturday with Heidi.

The Forktown Food tour was Forking Fabulous (surely I'm not the first one to capitalize on such…read morealliteration?). Ariel, our tour guide, immediately won points in my book for being both an artist and a New Mexican native. These traits are not what made her an apt, knowledgeable, or personable tour guide, per say, but they're what made me see my reflection in her mirror. "Hey! I'm an artist (writer) from New Mexico and a food tour guide, too!" With that said, Ariel did an awesome job. She knows her history, her food, her city, and has a fun personality to tie it all together. Our group was a mix of locals and travelers, solo eaters (yours truly) and a group of friends. We all got along great, and enjoyed every stop. What I enjoyed most about this was 1) the location. Mississippi Ave is a gem! Get out of downtown and explore this place! 2) the diversity of dining. I'm not well-versed enough in Korean Mexican food to know what to order at a food cart, same with Thai cuisine (um, Pad Thai? Yes I am that uneducated), so I was glad to have a great dish handed to me. Also, I liked the balance of savory, sweet, and even vegetables, and the fact it moved like a progressive meal (salad, appetizer, main, palate cleanser, dessert). I definitely recommend!

I took the Alberta Arts district tour…read more Dylan was a great tour guide. Due to the heat advisory it ended up just being me on the tour so it was cool they still held the tour. The amount of food and variety of cuisine was impressive from Mexican to Indian to ice cream to a glass of wine. Some of that was due to the tour just being me but it was still a fantastic value for how much I ate and took home with me. Dylan was very friendly, informative, and made sure I had a great experience. He knows the city really well. Overall highly recommend. Albert Arts district is a great area to have something like this.

The pacing of the tour was just right, and we appreciated the interesting history shared as we walked between locations. That said, for the price, I expected a bit more. At each stop, we were only offered one type of item, and the portion sizes were on the smaller side. I've done other food tours where you get to try a few different dishes at each location, which gives a better sense of the menu. Having at least a small selection or a few shared plates would have made the experience feel more complete. Overall, it was a good tour, especially if you're new to Portland or just visiting. I'd recommend it!

Everyone ate well and had a great time. The tour also included art, history, glimpses of the beautiful St. John's bridge and a opportunities for shopping with a nice little bonus that some businesses provided special discounts to the tour group. Jasmine was the best tour guide, she is clearly very passionate about her neighborhood and supporting the amazing small businesses in her community.
