  • 5The Tunnels and much more.

    Great Tour. Guide was fun and friendly. Be prepared to go down stairs and walking through the tunnel requires care and attention. Its a fascinating history and the ghost stories and pictures seemed truly authentic. Of course, pizza and beer were excellent. Seeing the inside of the building was a special treat.

  • 5Had a great time!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My boyfriend and I had a great time on the Shanghai Tunnels underground tour! The history was fascinating, the atmosphere was spooky, and we even had a little paranormal experience of our own when something pulled my hair! Definitely wasn't expecting that, but it made the experience even more memorable. The beer tasting was a great addition to the tour! We tried an IPA and a more traditional beer, and both were really good. It was a fun way to round out an already entertaining experience. Between the interesting history, creepy underground tunnels, unexpected ghostly encounter, and delicious beer, this was such a fun date night! We'd absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Portland who's looking for something a little different!

  • 4The guide was very knowledgeable but again for us old folks he was hard to hear.

    For us old folks the lighting is very low and overhead pipes are also low and the footing is uneven so plan on it.

About Portland

Portland is Oregon's largest city, a green Pacific Northwest city of bridges, rose gardens, food carts, craft beer and views of Mount Hood.

Portland sits where the Willamette River meets the Columbia, with the snow-covered cone of Mount Hood visible to the east on clear days. It is called the City of Roses, and the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, above the city, has thousands of rose bushes. Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the United States, covers the hills west of downtown, and the Japanese Garden nearby is a quiet retreat.

Top-ranked sights in Portland: Multnomah Falls, Latourell Falls, Columbia River Gorge.
