Portland Food, Shopping, and Sweet Treat Tour

Learn to love Portland like a local does with this food, shopping and sweet treat tour, about 2 miles
A stroll through the culture district for a warm drink, past some of the most eclectic shopping in the city, then through the heart of downtown to a charming cafe for an appetizer with culinary styles from Japan and Europe. From there through midtown past the country’s largest independent book store to one of our famous food cart pods for another shareable dish. We finish with a walk through the financial district to a decadent chocolate sampler dessert. We’ll show you the Portland we love and tell you stories even the locals themselves may not have heard — Portland is an amazing city full of beauty, passion and conflict with a story around every turn.

About 2 miles of walking or 3.5 kilometers.
