Natasha did an excellent job leading us through the tunnels and painting the history of the site. This was a lot of fun. I’ve done these “ghost” tours before, and they are generally cheesy, but this one was very interesting and more about the history of the place and Portland. Definitely recommend during a trip. Afterwards, after you enjoy a beer at a bar, ask bartender Ann to make you a spicy margarita - believe me, that alone is worth the trip. A walk through Portland history with beer and pizza topped off by one of the best margaritas in the world? Definitely worth the time.

Our guide Doug did an amazing job taking us down under through the Shanghai tunnels. I do believe ghosts/spirits occupy the area. I highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful tour. Informative and interesting. Great host. Unfortunately some of the areas visited were a little 'edgy', but it is what it is.
