What people are saying about Portland, Oregon

This was one of the best ghost tours we have been on . Victoria Rose was quite knowledgeable of the area . All her ghost stories were very entertaining and she was very easy to hear even in the large group we were in. I learned a lot about Portlands history while on this tour. We liked it so much we are considering taking another ghost tour with her . She mentioned an earlier tour where you actually go inside haunted establishments. She also gave out information of websites and YouTube channels where you could even learn more about different ghost happenings that she had talked about , I would give her 10 stars if I could .

Our guide Dani was great! She was super funny, energetic, and engaging with our entire group! She really committed to our tour, bringing incense to ward off lingering spirits and a spiritual activity meter for guest use.

Trip was amazing! Pictures online seem unreal till you are actually sailing yourself and see the view for yourself amazing

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The food and the view were amazing. I highly recommend it.

Very interesting. Got us to go check out some of the places after the tour
