Lots of interesting history about a historic hotel and the tunnels underneath Old Town. Great guide. If you're claustrophobic, this may not be your thing. The pizza place and brewery at the end are very good.
Skippy was a great tour guide and awesome storyteller.
If you're visiting Portland, this tour is an absolute must! Skippy was an outstanding guide—his knowledge of the tunnel's history was incredible, and he brought the stories to life with fascinating details, photos, and vivid explanations that made the experience unforgettable. The tour begins at the pizza shop, where we were welcomed by Anne, the bartender. She was so warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming that she set the perfect tone for the experience. Her positive attitude and great hospitality made us feel right at home. Between Skippy's exceptional storytelling and Anne's wonderful service, this was one of the highlights of our trip. I can't recommend it highly enough!
We had such a great time and our tour guide was very knowledgeable! She made it fun and engaging. I would highly recommend this to your.
What a great tour to start celebrating my birthday weekend! So much history to explore. Great pizza and craft beer at Old Town Pizza and Brewery with exploring the tunnels below the city! Also, I made some new friends!
This was a fascinating journey back in time-- entertaining and informative at the same time. Our Guide was great!
The most lame tour I’ve ever been on. I don’t think it was the tour guide’s fault as much as it was that there’s really no story to tell. We just walked thru the basement level of the building, in the dark, while he told ghost stories. It was really two hours of my life I can’t get back.
A good ghost story. I was there more for the history of the building and why the tunnels. Both were good. Something to do on a free afternoon/evening. Stay and order the Delicious pizza afterwards.
I had a great time as a solo traveler joining several couples and families on this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, conscientious, and funny. I didn’t see any ghosts, but the tunnels themselves are plenty spooky; and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the darker side of the city’s history.
Skippy was great! Knowledgeable and entertaining! Great story teller!! The sites he showed us wete cool to see as party of history!
