One of our most popular tours is "Weird Portland," which takes visitors on a journey through some of the city's most bizarre landmarks and hidden gems.

Sample everything from artisanal cheeses at Cheese Bar to handmade chocolates at Cacao while learning about Oregon's farm-to-table movement along the way.
For those who want to get off-the-beaten-path while still enjoying some exercise outdoors can join us for “Bridges & Bites” where we will walk across several bridges that span across Willamette River while stopping at various eateries along both sides!
