This tour was amazing! Our tour guide (Natasha) was absolutely incredible! She was super informative and a blast to be around. She made the tour with her story telling and historical/spooky knowledge. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portland!

Eerie but not Scary

Kathy_B, May 2024

Natasha was a wonderful guide full of haunted info-facts. She’s quite animated and keeps you safely traversing the maze of underground tunnels.

The annoying guests that...

Gregg_F, Apr 2024

The annoying guests that kept interrupting with stupid jokes. The guide did a poor job controlling the immature guests.

Best Ghost Tour We've Been On

Jennifer_B, Apr 2024

Tour was interesting, but...

Celeste_K, Apr 2024

Tour was interesting, but the tour guide was more into her performance than actually sharing historical information. I learned more about Nina online as I couldn’t follow her as the dramatics were distracting. More ghost stories are needed and detailing exactly what happened in the tunnels. Still not sure what the Shanghai part means, but the tour was cool, just wish we had a different tour guide.

Visit to Shanghai tunnels

Lisa_K, Apr 2024

Our guide brought the story of the Shanghai Tunnels and their history to life. It was so interesting to hear about the happenings underground …..

Basically a Basement Tour

Sarah_S, Apr 2024

The tour lacked enough history or detail about the tunnels. The guide shared a brief story of a ghost that supposedly haunts the grounds but provided no real connecting details about her ("Nina") because the guide didn't want to taint our experience in case we felt, saw, or smelled something. Most of the historical stories were about merchant ships. Very limited information was provided on the tunnels, and it was like walking through someone's basement. I wouldn't recommend the tour for the price.

Truly spooky tour

Joseph_G, Apr 2024

Natasha was an amazing tour guide and she really brought the horror to the haunted tour. The stories and history were very captivating and immersive!

Guides are very good. The "tunnel" itself is dirty with low-hanging pipes and beams, but fun.

Jack_M, Apr 2024

Overall, it was fun to go with friends, and the guide made it a pleasant and educational experience. The history may (or may not) be correct -- there was little about the dirty basements to verify that they connected into an extensive tunnel network, extending to the riverfront. Pendleton's tunnels are far more interesting and full of authentic features. Still, with the caveats above, I would recommend it as a fun exploration of part of Portland's history. Good brew afterwards.

Skip it

Sandra_E, Apr 2024

It’s in a dingy basement not tunnels. Not at all what I expected I guess or worth what we paid. At the end you get 2 beer tastings and one free drink.

Great fun experience

Oaklee_M, Mar 2024

It was such a blast! Natasha gives an immersive, fun & educational tour. It was super unique and we had a blast!

The perfect 50th

Cory_A, Mar 2024

We had an amazing time! There were 10 people in our group. All of us had wanted to do this tour for years but for one reason or another we hadn’t. Natasha was our guide. She was funny, knowledgeable, full of fun facts that kept all of us engaged! We were all still talking about how awesome she was long after the tour ended. She had great photo ideas and helped us put our camera in night mode so our pictures would turn out! It was apparent she cares about the property, the tunnels, and maintaining tours. I would highly recommend the tour!

Very fun experience

Rebecca_S, Mar 2024

Very fun experience. Caitlyn (sorry if I misspelled) was very knowledgeable and I loved the stories she told. It was definitely creepy to learn about all the things that took place there, but not scary.

Great way to begin the night

Gabriel_G, Feb 2024

The tour was very atmospheric and delightful. It was captivating hearing the stories and lore by our guide—she truly made it fun!

Don't miss the opportunity to take this tour!!

Summer_B, Dec 2023

It was great from the very start to the very end. Our tour guide Natasha was so fun, friendly, informative, dramatic (in a good way) & upbeat. She kept up intrigued the whole time. The tunnels are fascinating and creepy all in one little bundle- throw in Old Town Pizza & Brewing and you have the perfect way to spend your night in Portland. 5 stars!!!

Bday fun!

Alba_M, Nov 2023

Our tour guide was amazing! She is a great story teller, personable and funny. Wear comfortable shoes, ground is uneven at times. We saw an opium den, which the tour guide didn't highlight..... A bedroom setting left behind and finished off with the tastings also in the tunnels!! Be aware there is a very steep staircase you'll need to use on the 2nd section of the tour. 10/10 recommend!!

Spooky + fantastic!!

Connie_M, Nov 2023

Doug was our guide, and he was great! We really appreciated the historical information he shared during our tour. Surprisingly, our photos and videos showed ORBs!!! Spooky fantastic!!

It was great and super fun.

Heidi_G, Oct 2023

The most memorable part for me was learning about this history of the tunnels. My tour guide was super nice.

Fun tour!

Joanne_H, Oct 2023

Doug was great in telling about the history and his knowledge of the area. Loved the tour. Did not catch anything in my pictures but was still an interesting tour.

Underwhelming

roberta_c, Sep 2023

The tour guide was really good. The only thing that saved me from asking for a refund was the fact that she was so animated and fun to listen to the tour is not at all what it is presented as it short it’s boring and there’s nothing haunted about it.

Team Outing

Maranda_W, Sep 2023

Jason was a great tour guide. Overall a great experience and the beer was great. We did this as a work team outing and was fun and educational.
