Mild-mannered Portland was once one of the toughest ports of the Pacific. In the 1890s, it was known for being a trafficking hub. Although historians have questioned the veracity of these claims, the tunnels remain a source of intrigue. The Shanghai Tunnels are open for tours every week, so be sure to get the right date and time to explore this nugget of Portland's dark history.

tripadvisorWonderful experience of historical information mixed with paranormal possibilities. Highly recommend! Word of caution, the stairs are not for anyone who has mobility issues.
MoreI booked the 7 PM tour for my family and friends from out of town. We were incredibly excited to learn about the history and the ghosts which is an activity we do in every city we visit. We showed up early and ate dinner. When it came time for the ghost tour we started getting ID’d and one of my kids who is 20.5 years old was told she could not go on the tour because they are trying to create an “adult” experience which they couldn’t actually explain to us what that means. My issue was not the ridiculous rule that a full grown adult can’t go on an adult tour my issue is that the incredibly rude bartender told us they will not be refunding any of our cost for tickets which was $300. A real happy holidays and screw you. So if you are up for a rude bartender that treated us like crap from the minute we ordered our first drink until she told us to take a hike with no refund then this activity is for you. My suggestion is take your business elsewhere. There are too many wonderful activities to do in Portland with wonderful people who will treat you with respect rather than deal with people like this.
MoreWhen we went on this tour, the first thing the guide asked was if anyone had ever seen or experienced ghost, or the paranormal. When I raised my hand, she laughed and mocked me in front of the entire group. Everyone laughed. Needless to say, she didn't believe anything in the tour she was giving to anything she was saying. Really left a bad taste in our mouths. I have never let anyone else know of my experiences ever again, save for the fact that this was nothing but a big joke to the people who were scamming you out of your money.
MoreHad a lot of fun. Drank some great beer, ate some delicious pizza. Our guide was Doug. We had a good time and learned all about the ghosts and old Portland.
MoreWorst tour ever. Moved between a couple of basements. Canned beer. Hardly any accurate historical knowledge was even included. Lots of weird innuendos about abortions and chainsaws.
