Top Portland Night Tours

Whether it's the stories of human trafficking described as the Shanghai Tunnels, the origin of the vampire tales in Twilight, or the crafty madam with the floating brothel, from fiery deaths to watery graves, we explore it all. The city of Portland Oregon was built on an ancient crossroads; known as a place to step into alternate worlds. What visit to the city would be complete without lifting the veil, for at least a minute, between the living and the spirit worlds? Weaving in historical tales with what fiction authors and filmmakers (including Twilight author Stephenie Meyer) with local ties have written about this place, we tell the stories of darkness, death and the liminal space that comes beyond. Our 1.5 mile (2.5 km) walking tour along the waterfront will include luminous views of the city lights along the river, encounters with our local corporeal spirits (the crows!), and plenty of recommendations to extend your gothic experience to restaurants, cafes and bars nearby.

This is Portland’s elevated sushi night out: a small-group, omakase-style progressive dinner across three top sushi spots downtown. Instead of tiny samples, you’ll sit down at each stop for chef-selected dishes—crafted to highlight different styles, cuts, and techniques—so you leave genuinely full and seriously impressed. Over 2–3 hours, you’ll enjoy a curated progression that can include nigiri, sashimi, specialty rolls, and seasonal plates (selection varies by night). Your guide keeps it fun and approachable while explaining what you’re eating, how to spot quality, and how to order with confidence the next time you’re at a sushi bar. All food is included, and group size is capped so the experience stays personal and high-touch. —and if you have dietary needs (gluten-free or vegan), message us after booking so we can plan your best possible menu. Why this is worth it: you’re getting a guided, chef-curated sushi progression at three restaurants in one night—without the guesswork.

The cast of this ghost hunt is ten people who died with something unfinished: a bride three days from her wedding, a doctor on his third night without sleep, a librarian who stayed late to shelve one last delivery. They're fictional, and they're loose in downtown Portland. You'll track them down with the Questo app, starting in Pioneer Courthouse Square and working through the blocks around the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, City Hall and Portlandia. Each ghost hands over a clue once you've solved its puzzle, and the clues add up to the final question: which of the ten has been lying? It's a self-guided walk of about 1.2 miles that takes roughly 90 minutes, compact enough for families. Start at any time that suits you. Hints are built in, and someone from our team is around 24/7 if you need help.
