Itinerary (Old Town & Chinatown)
What is “Portland”?
How was Portland named, how was Oregon named. See the Portland Penny, and hear the history of DT/Old-town Portland and why it has always been – and will always be – at the heart of Portland culture. Get the inside knowledge from your local expert guide on what makes it Portland.
Enjoy the Mighty Craic
Sit down with the locals in a coffeehouse or pub, enjoy drinks & learn what the “Mighty craic” is, do some crazy stuff and then turn the craic all the way up to 90!
Be Welcomed by Landlords at Family-Owned Locals
Visit Chinatown, the old North End and Burnside street, Portland's own Skid Road. Explore hidden gems frequented by in-the-know locals and take in the story of Portland & Portland's seedy past, discussing such subjects as 'blood money', 'white slavery', gambling & drug dens and Portland's notorious Crimping & Shanghaiing Trade & the infamous Portland Underground that survived from 1850-1941. And discover why many a story, song, or poem has been dreamt up in these eerie recesses with ‘more dark corners than any medieval dungeon’.
Explore the Birthplace of Culture in Portland
Walk through the historic area of Old Chinatown, Old Town, the Skidmore and Yamhill historic districts and hear why the town started in this area. Marvel at beautiful Victorian-era & industrial architecture.
Relax in a Proper Mariner Hotel
Sit down with the locals and finish the tour in a classic hotel from 1881 as a 'safe haven' for sailor's. And try a coffee with a recipe that dates back as well. Sample a secret snack and learn why the scouser Bunco Kelly and James Turk made this area their usual stomping ground.
Advice and Support for the Rest of Your Trip
We like to stay in touch, so if there are any questions, big or small, for the rest of your trip, we’ll provide them over a coffee and we welcome you to message us post tour.
