Our tour guide (Greg) was great and shared lots of fun history and interesting facts. The walk through the trails and surrounding streets was super easy even though there are a few hills. We got lucky and ended up at a lemonade stand once we exited the park. It was perfect. And there were lots of photo ops! People at work have been asking if I went out of town because no one had ever noticed all of the cool things we checked out along our route. All credit for that goes to Greg's excellent research. I enjoyed this so much that I definitely plan on taking the other neighborhood tours. I'm sure there are hidden gems all over that I would otherwise miss. This is a perfect activity for entertaining company in town, too. Overall, I highly recommend!

When: July 7, 2015 - Pearl District Walking Tour…read more Our host, Theresa was an excellent tour guide filled with Beer 101 Knowledge, PDX Historical Fact tidbits, Friendliness and most importantly Patience. When we began the tour, in the Deschutes Brewery Restaurant, Theresa filled us with Beer 101 knowledge and even one of the Deschutes Brewmasters came out for a Q & A session. He answered all questions, no matter how mundane or stupid they may have been. While we were walking to our next destination, Theresa filled our time with PDX Historical facts, that most people may know or not and by the time we reached our final destination, Rogue Brewery, everyone was already feeling jolly & talking loud, she patiently let all parties be themselves and enjoy the moment. This walking tour takes you to three (3) Brewery Restaurant Pubs, 1) Deschutes Brewery 2) Pints Brewing and 3) Rogue Brewing. This tour is an easy walk through the Pearl and Old Town districts with no hills etc. Additonally, you may even be able to make new friends, just like us...We stayed at Rogue Brewery long after the tour ended and became real good friends with this other couple from Winnipeg Canada, who was on the tour also, whom we traded email addresses with. I definitely recommend this tour for any beer lover, whether a novice or expert, in craft beers...you will definitely appreciate the depth and understand why Portland and the Pacific Northwest in general, is the mecca for the Craft Beer Industry.

During our Portland trip, the Weird Bar Crawl was definitely one of our favorite activities…read more Dresden provided a fascinating perspective on local history as we traveled through a fun + eclectic mix of bars. His choices clearly showcased the strong communal nature of the city. 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 had a great time getting to know you, throwing snakes, and seeing Portland through your eyes.

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.
