Portland Walking Tours - Best of Portland

Determined to use as many coupons from the Portland Perks book as possible, I immediately signed up for a walking tour of downtown Portland on the free internet at my motel. The guide was a young "between jobs" actor named Chris who walked backwards the whole tour and pointed out many unusual features of the city - big focus on all the "green" aspects. He gave us a tip on how to score "rush" tickets (last minute seats) for a great play that night. Exhausting day, but good memories.

A Great Way to Spend an Afternoon

My wife and I went to the Heathman Hotel to meet our tour guide, Damon. There were a total 16 people on the tour. Only two were from the area. The tour covered about one & a half miles and lasted from 2:00 to 6:30. We were sure tired by the time we got back to the room. To get to one of the stops we used a street car.
We are not sure how many places we visited, but here are what we remember:
Heathman Hotel: deviled eggs with shrimp & cocoa beans
Street vendor: Falafels
Yoga place: Organic cracker with no cook humus dip
Lipstick pizza: no tomato sauce pizza & blackberry juice
Brew Pub: gin, whiskey & flavored gin
Chocolate store: three chocolate flavors with wine (white, bitter sweet, bitter & flavored chocolate
Deli: tomato/orange soup
This was one of the best and most enjoyable city tours, of any kind, we have been on.
