Victoria Rose was our guide. Her husband was a great help keeping everyone together and interacting with the many, many people who have taken up residence on the sidewalks. We never felt unsafe in the group, but I wouldn't walk alone before or after the tour. Victoria was knowledgeable, entertaining, and provided interesting stories about the history of several places in Portland. We definitely recommend.

Mason did a great job with great storytelling. Old and current ghost stories were told with obvious love of Portland. Each stop contained a vivid story to go along with such beautiful historic buildings.

My son and I took the Portland Ghosts tour on August 6th, 2021 and LOVED it! “Victoria Rose” was the best tour guide we’ve ever had, out of the 5 tours that we’ve taken (2 in Colonial Williamsburg and 2 in Gettysburg, PA). WONDERFUL personality, spoke loudly, clearly and animatedly, wore a great costume that was perfect for the setting and you could tell that she loved her job. I was very impressed by how much information she knows by memory. Wow! LOVED her stories! As it was suitable for all ages, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! ♥️

I’ve been on a lot of walking tours this was by far the least engaging. The tour guide spoke in a low dull monotone absolutely zero conviction or engagement. The stops on the tour were boarded up places with literally nothing to see. Colossal waste of time. Not worth even half the money. Homeless people approached the group on every street. The guide seemed as bored as us... this time would have been better spent watching paint dry

We go on Ghost Tours in every city we visit. My daughter loves them. This was the least enjoyable for me. Almost everything was centered around the Shanghai Tunnels, which we did not visit. There is another tour that does that, which I did not choose, because I am not a fan of tunnels. But our guide talked about that tour multiple times. There were a lot of people on the tour and only the ones who could keep up with Victoria Rose got to hear what she was saying, at least until she stopped. Dodging the street people and the traffic made it tough to keep up. I felt like I was in a commercial for certain businesses in Portland rather than a Ghost Tour. Particularly the Old Town Pizza place which operates the tunnel tour and the Electric Lettuce dispensary which was supposedly haunted. And strangely enough, ALL of the Electric Lettuce dispensary outlets are haunted! I paid extra to visit "extra sites" and I guess all 20-25 on the tour did as well, because no one left early. I wonder how that would have worked? I think I was scammed.

Victoria Rose is one of the best guides I’ve had and I’ve been on 10+ ghost tours. She was extremely professional and tasteful in her story telling, providing ample background and context for those who aren’t familiar with Portland history. She was incredibly friendly and informative.
For those hesitant to take this tour because “it’s not scary enough”, please note that most ghost tours are story telling and historical. A lot of the goal of a ghost tour is to inform you of the city’s history - dark and light - and to pay homage to past lives. In fact, some of the tales told, although tragic, are very eye opening and will have you reflect on many things. I highly recommend it and if you’re able to do it with Victoria, that’s even better!
Please also kindly remember that many of these guides have their own style of providing the tour, so if you think they could improve, it’s probably better to provide that feedback than to leave a nasty review for the whole business itself.

It was a fun way to learn a bit about the history of Portland. It was a bit too campy and not scary enough. There was a lot of noise and it seemed like they were working out the route as we went to avoid different other city activity. Some people had EMF detectors but the guide barely referenced them. It’s also a little sketchy getting to the gathering site at the Lan Su Garden when you are by yourself. But I heard them say they were looking for another place to meet.

This was such a great tour. Victoria Rose was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the dark side of Portlands history. She really made it entertaining and the ghost stories were compelling! Get the ELF machine (ghost monitor) she rents for $5 it's totally worth it to see it go off during the tour. So fun, so entertaining and I learned so much! THANK YOU!
When I looked at the odorous I took on this tour, they're is a must that we did not see when we were there.

we had victoria rose as our tour guide. i’m hard of hearing and she was very amazing and accommodating!! she made sure i could read her lips after i asked her to repeat herself on the grounds that i couldn’t see her lips. she made it a point to look at me the rest of the tour. and she even waited with us after everyone else had left while we waited for our uber, she said to make sure we made it safe. she even took a picture with me! she was amazing and very courteous! anyone that gets a chance to have their tour with victoria rose is truly blessed. i had an amazing time and would definitely do it again !

An hour spent walking around old town in the dark could have been interesting, however, our guide lacked the flare and drama that gives the stories that delicious spookiness we were hoping for. Sadly, we grew bored—found ourselves looking forward to the end of the tour. On the plus side, we heard a bit of Portland trivia and the guide was very nice.

I will have my mother with me -she used a walker. How far will we walk and are there stops where she might be able to sit for a bit?
Written 21 September 2022
You will be walking at a pretty quick/steady pace for a couple of hours. The walk also goes over cobblestone streets. You walk for a few blocks and then the tour guide stops at a location and tells you a story, then you walk again. This is a fantastic tour and I LOVED it, but I would not recommend for anyone using a walker.

Almost all - we were able to go into an apartment building that was part of an original bar - still has some of the original features. This is not possible on every tour - we got lucky because the owner happened to be coming in when we were walking by - this happens every once in a while I understand. It was extremely cool.

How close is the tour pickup to downtown Portland?
Written 20 October 2020
It's in downtown Portland. You are within walking distance to everything. I would recommend parking at the Old Town Pizza restaurant - where the tour ends. This area of Portland at night is so sketchy - very rough element - homeless people and tents, a lot of suspicious looking activity... I will leave it at that. I don't plan to ever go back there after dark again and I definitely wouldn't take the kids at night.
