History, Hauntings & Great Pizza! - Doug was an amazing tour guide for our Shanghai Tunnel tour! He was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the history—both factual and supernatural—to life with great energy and humor. Our group was small, which made the experience feel more relaxed and personal, and there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions along the way. The pizza and beer afterward were a great bonus and the perfect way to wrap up the tour. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Portland!

Totally worth it - This was an awesome experience. The tunnels were fascinating to explore. I got some great photos. Skippy, the guide, was a perfect blend of knowledgeable and funny, yet respectful for the real people who experienced tragedy. He was also very sympathetic when one person had to leave early because the last flight of stairs was too steep and narrow for her. To that point, I really appreciated that Skippy reminded us each time we needed to duck or watch our step and use the handrails.

Great guide and interesting history. - Lots of interesting history about a historic hotel and the tunnels underneath Old Town. Great guide. If you're claustrophobic, this may not be your thing. The pizza place and brewery at the end are very good.

Beware of stairways - There are some very steep stairs that are very narrow. The senior person I was with had difficulty navigating the stairs. One stairway was also quite long, probably three stories.
