Best Ghost Tour We've Been On - This tour was amazing! Our tour guide (Natasha) was absolutely incredible! She was super informative and a blast to be around. She made the tour with her story telling and historical/spooky knowledge.
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portland!

The perfect 50th - We had an amazing time! There were 10 people in our group. All of us had wanted to do this tour for years but for one reason or another we hadn’t. Natasha was our guide. She was funny, knowledgeable, full of fun facts that kept all of us engaged! We were all still talking about how awesome she was long after the tour ended. She had great photo ideas and helped us put our camera in night mode so our pictures would turn out! It was apparent she cares about the property, the tunnels, and maintaining tours. I would highly recommend the tour!

Very fun experience - Very fun experience. Caitlyn (sorry if I misspelled) was very knowledgeable and I loved the stories she told. It was definitely creepy to learn about all the things that took place there, but not scary.

Tour was interesting, but... - Tour was interesting, but the tour guide was more into her performance than actually sharing historical information. I learned more about Nina online as I couldn’t follow her as the dramatics were distracting. More ghost stories are needed and detailing exactly what happened in the tunnels. Still not sure what the Shanghai part means, but the tour was cool, just wish we had a different tour guide.

Guides are very good. The "tunnel" itself is dirty with low-hanging pipes and beams, but fun. - Overall, it was fun to go with friends, and the guide made it a pleasant and educational experience. The history may (or may not) be correct -- there was little about the dirty basements to verify that they connected into an extensive tunnel network, extending to the riverfront. Pendleton's tunnels are far more interesting and full of authentic features. Still, with the caveats above, I would recommend it as a fun exploration of part of Portland's history. Good brew afterwards.

Basically a Basement Tour - The tour lacked enough history or detail about the tunnels. The guide shared a brief story of a ghost that supposedly haunts the grounds but provided no real connecting details about her ("Nina") because the guide didn't want to taint our experience in case we felt, saw, or smelled something. Most of the historical stories were about merchant ships. Very limited information was provided on the tunnels, and it was like walking through someone's basement. I wouldn't recommend the tour for the price.

Skip it - It’s in a dingy basement not tunnels. Not at all what I expected I guess or worth what we paid. At the end you get 2 beer tastings and one free drink.
