Overview

This tour is a must-do for anyone who likes beer and is interested in Portland’s artistic flair. Skip those boring tours about the Founding Fathers; we tell stories of Bigfoot sightings, exploding whales, a bagpipe-playing unicyclist, wacky themed bike rides, hipsters, the world’s smallest park, aliens, and more!

The tour takes place in the vibrant Hawthorne/Division neighborhoods. Known for its funky hangouts, cool eateries, and one-of-a-kind pubs. This area is a must-visit. We stop at the neighborhood’s most loved murals and tell the stories behind them.

Your tour guide, Otniel, is also one-of-a-kind. With years of experience and a passion for Portland’s local legends and quirky culture, Otniel is simply the best guide in the business.

Experience the eccentricity of Portland, Oregon, and visit its quirkiest neighborhoods on this walking pub tour. You won’t regret it!

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
