This 2.5-hour walking tour in Portland visits haunted locations and historic pubs while sampling local beer. The tour starts at Skidmore Fountain, where the guide explains the fountain’s history and its connection to a local brewery’s offer of free beer. The group then walks to Tom McCall Waterfront Park to hear stories about opium smuggling, brothels, and the kidnapping of sailors on Portland’s waterfront. Next, the tour stops at the Keep Portland Weird sign near Voodoo Doughnuts, highlighting the city’s unique character. The walk continues into Old Town, where the guide discusses the area’s past as a center for opium dens, brothels, and underground speakeasies, as well as its current role as a nightlife district. The tour includes a visit to the Merchant Hotel, known for the ghost of Nina Portland. Guests receive five samples of local beer during the tour, which is led by local historians and ghost hunters. The tour is rated mildly spooky, combining historical facts with ghost stories, and it takes place entirely above ground without entering the Shanghai Tunnels. Alcoholic beverages and guide narration are included. The tour is suitable for guests aged 21 and older, operates in all weather conditions, has limited wheelchair accessibility, allows a maximum of 20 participants, and does not permit pets or children.
