We would take another tour with Ken on a future trip to Portland.

The food was really good. Although, carb overload is a thing. I needed to nap after the walk and the carbs. LOL
Isabel shared a lot of information about Portland. It was nice to taste some food from different cultures! I think the Tokyo Sando was the favorite in the group.

We’re locals living in the burbs of Portland but we don’t get downtown often. This was a fun day out and a chance to try some of the great foodie offerings Portland is known for. Ken did a great job giving us some local history and walking us around town. Good mix of food carts, Italian, Asian, a brewery, and a quirky dessert option. Interesting to see your own town in the eyes of a tourist.

This was a great food tour. Learned about Portland and sampled delicious foods. The tonkatsu sando at the start of the tour and the smores at the end were the highlights. Definitely recommend.

Great food!!! Our guide was wonderful with stories of historical Portland and suggestions for other places to try. We were full by the end of the tour. It was much more than food tastings - a guided tour of downtown Portland.

I would skip this one. Food wasn't great. Tour wasn't well organized. Very overpriced for the quality of the tour and food.

Wear comfortable walking shoes. Dress accordingly in layers. Bring a bottle of water. Arrive hungry because you will definitely be full by the end of the tour. Our group ended up only being the 3 of us in our family, but our guide, Isabel made the experience such a great one. From the food we ate, to the knowledge about the city that was shared, Isabel made our first visit to Portland an amazing memory.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We appreciate you sharing this feedback! It’s great that the tour provided a clear and enjoyable way to explore the local food scene. We hope to have you back with Secret Food Tours in the future.
