This is the worst. I read previous reviews and did not have high expectations (I knew the "tunnels" would be 2 or 3 rooms) but it ended being a true nightmare. Unless you are looking for a true scary experience and wanna spend 2 hours in a cave without a way to escape and stuck listening to the most boring tour guide, do not go. Our tour guide was a student focusing on Portland's history. She definitely seems to know her stuff. But when it comes to explaining it to people, she is....not exactly the best. She is going to repeat about 10 times that she is a historian and apparently, it gives her the right to tell people what to think. She CANNOT finish a story and sidetracks endlessly. You are not going to learn much about Portland's history (probably could fit into a 10 sentences paragraph). IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SCARY STUFF, DO THIS TOUR, THIS IS A TRUE HORROR STORY. EXCEPT THE GHOSTS ARE NOT THE ONES YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID OF (but more seriously, please give your tour guides some training).

Fun tour to experience some of the old downtown Portland history. Lots of interesting stories. Not nearly as extensive and vast of a tour I was expecting in 1.5 hours... But the tour was very enjoyable overall.

Fascinating tour. Nicole was an awesome guide. Dug into the dark history and also helped offset it with a few jokes. It’s amazing that they are the ones keeping this history alive and working hard to preserve it the best they can. I will recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portland.

The place was not what I expected but in a good but scary way, When I read the reviews it said that it was scary and I was like oh yea whatever, but by the time I got out my body was shaking of true terror uncontrollably, real scare! The history of it is really cool to, don’t let the ghost stories throw you off there IS history there! And it is fascinating! I would recommend it! Just not for little kids, I am grown and could barley sleep that night, so yea

Ok- we did a "underground walking tour" of Portland- and I want to dispel any ideas that you actually go underground - the so-called tunnels have all been filled in- that being said- the tour itself was absolutely AMAZING! 10/10 with history and building architecture and really fun things to learn. The history of Portland and it's bad and good past are presented in a little over an hour with a nice walk all around and historical pictures for context.
