Portland Like a Local: Art, Chocolate, and Stories You Can’t Miss!

5.00I went on this tour solo, and Damon was an amazing guide — super knowledgeable and friendly, which made it feel easy and fun even on my own. I learned so much about Portland’s layout, history, and the up-and-coming “new Pearl District.” The tour had such a great mix: the local history, amazing graffiti and street art, artisanal chocolate tasting, and wandering through cool residential Portlandia-style neighborhoods. What really stood out were all the local stories and insider tips Damon shared — it gave me a real sense of the city’s vibe and what’s happening locally. Highly recommend this tour if you’re traveling solo or with friends — you’ll get a fantastic, authentic Portland experience.

4.00Very lively and infomative. In 3 hours I got a real feel for the city. Wish there had been more history and less about recent, unimportant (to me) events. Overall, totally a fun and worthwhile experience.

5.00The tour is wonderful. Unfortunately for us, the weather affected getting out of the van at a few sight. Leo was a fantastic guide. There is minimal walking.

3.00There were to be two busses, but the second driver didn’t show, so everyone was loaded onto one bus. Those in the center couldn’t see anything.
