It was just my husband and me on the tour,…read moreso we pretty much got to spend time walking around the city and talking with Todd about all things Portland and weird stuff! We met at Rogue brewing where our first drink was purchased for us. Then we sat down outside and chatted with Todd a bit. He went through some good history of Rogue brewing and shared some cool stories with us and a few photos. Todd was very down to earth and easy to talk with. Since it was just the 3 of us on this adventure, he offered to take us around to places that sounded interesting to us. He mentioned a sour beer brewery close by, so we wandered that way to sample a few of their sour beers. While we were sipping on our drinks, he started sharing more stories with us about some real life unsolved mysteries related to Portland which was really cool to hear. He walked us around the neighborhood and gave us some fun facts about the new builds and the Belmont goats! We also learned about some of the street art and murals. I really liked the BotJoy art and enjoyed seeing the cool robots around the city! We walked around to hear about the Hawthorn Asylum which was burned down and now there is a nice little food cart station in that area which was nice to walk through and see the food options. We made it to a few other bars and tried some more drinks while also hearing stories about UFO's and Bigfoot! I loved these stories! Honestly, this walking tour was just what I needed. I learned so much about Portland and all the nice drinks and things to do in the area. Todd was really friendly and helpful. I am glad we got connected to him and that we were able to learn so much about this city and their beers! Thanks, Todd for a great evening stroll around the neighborhood!

We instantly clicked with the other people on tour and had some incredibly deep conversations for the amount of time we had known each other. We stayed at the bar long after the tour officially ended, talking and getting to know each other until much later. The tour ended with us (not so) slightly intoxicated, along with a newfound appreciation of the city and some hilarious stories from new friends. Dresden: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

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!

If you're not one to fill up first thing in the morning, no biggie get some sub sandwiches or pack a small sack lunch, you will be happy you do this! Even though appetizers are promised I wouldn't bank on it, bring those carbs! and Next don't order beers, they will come to you...

Our group of people got a little annoying after a while, we had a few criers (which is what happens when you give females alcohol during a breakup) but I had so much fun, I recommend bringing your own group of friends and setting up plans to eat somewhere nearby following the events. 5 stars for getting everything out of the tour I had expected!

I will admit that if I hadn't been traveling with 40 extremely loud and obnoxious people on my tour I would have probably enjoyed it much more. So do keep that in mind when booking this tour. If you are a 20-something person looking to get drunk and don't care at all about the types of beer you are drinking it's totally for you. If you are interested in learning more about beer and doing some different tastings while actually learning a bit about the brewing process, you might want to look elsewhere. Unfortunately, my experience was tarnished by super loud and drunk people chanting a bus driver's name while the guide was quietly trying to talk about the beers we had tried at each brewery. We didn't really hear much about the beers we were trying except for at the first brewery. Some of us actually left while at the third brewery because it was becoming a circus. At one point, after only 2 breweries, 20 very drunk guys plowed into a brewery bathroom at once and I believe one tried to pee in the same urinal as my husband at the same time. Not really what I expected to pay $90 for... Again, I think it all depends on who is also traveling on the tour with you, so it's a real crap shoot, but for the money, I would try a different experience.

The gift shop has a lot of books and literature for sale, along with the usual post cards, NPS patches, etc. It is somewhat small though. Large picture windows give a view of the grass and large trees. The trees obscure the view of the fort, so you have to make your way down to check it out!
