Wonderful Evening in Portland! - We had a great time! This was our first time in Portland and Luke was aTERRIFIC guide and storyteller. He gave a wonderful historical overview of the city and laced it with tales of paranormal activity and personal anecdotes. The walk was just the right pace, distance and duration!

Walking Portland Ghost Tour - Our family loved this tour, it gave us good overview of the "ghostly" nature of some of the historic downtown bldgs. Our tour guide Hannah was extremely knowledgeable about the stops on the tour circuit and spent as much time as needed explaining each stop. The tour took about 40 mins to complete, and there was a good bit of walking. Overall it was a great adventure!!
