If you paid $28.00 for a tour or went to only 1 room underground you did not take your tour with the Cascade Geographic Society. The tour group that leaves from Hobo's is with the Cascade Geographic Society. If you went down else where you didn't go with the right group.

RIP OFF CULT TOUR. This tour was so weak it's not even funny. First off, it is not worth $28. It's not even worth $5. I should have known it was going to be weird when I saw how serious the tour guides were in their creepy cloaks and top hats. Apparently laughing and having a good time is not allowed. One of the guides was watching my group the entire time like a stalker. I thought she was going to shank one of us and put us in a cell in the tunnel. The above ground part of the tour was worthless due to the loud surroundings and tour guide practically whispering his made up stories. The underground part wasn't scary at all and if u don't stay right by the tour guide he'll wig out on you. He considers the tunnels sacred. Which is so creepy because they were used to kidnap people and use them as slaves. We didn't even stay the whole time because the tour guides were douchers and we had enough. Bottom line, skip the tour and just drink at Hobo's or Boiler room. I definitely would have rather spent my $28 on drinks than hanging out with schizos. Dooooneee!!

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!! JOKE OF A TOUR!!. Myself and 15 others thought it would be a GREAT to do something "different" for fun around halloween instead of a haunted house. First off we started off at the skidmore fountain. Which was creepy at 10pm at night. We were told to get there 10 mins early. The "tour guides" didn't show up till 5 mins AFTER 10. We were well over 20 mins early. STRIKE ONE.

His stories were ok but we relized the more and more we walked. It was hard to hear as well as the stories were nothing that great. I read more FACTS and interesting stories ONLINE. About ten mins into the "tour" his stories were a bit boring and one person in our group was laughing here and there.

He was told that they would call the cops if he disrupted again. REALLY? Was the tour THAT SERIOUS? It was about ghosts. At ten o'clock at night. With the tour guides dressed in ROBES and a top hat? One a 4th grade school teacher.(Which is how she treated you the whole way through!)

Once to the HOBO restaurant where you enter the "underground" part of the trip..as with others have mentioned. It was dusty, small and way to hot to talk for over 40 mins. There were THREE tour guides and they direct you here and there and its so dark that two of us went TOO FAR( in their words) into another room and you would have thought we STEPPED into some SACRED room.

The tour guide yells "in 19 yrs" NO one has ever gone ahead! I cant believe it! After being taken for over $50 a couple! Not hearing the guide half the time and being yelled at like we were kids. We were DONE! We asked to be let out and said we would definetly let people know what a SHAM this whole "tour" was.

DONT waste your time or money! GOOGLE the tunnels and you'll get your info there in the comfort of your OWN home and not get yelled at for laughing! This tour is a joke. Thats all thanks for reading!

Not exciting but glad I did it. As others have noted, the tour takes place in a very limited area of the tunnels -- really a dusty basement below Hobo's restaurant. It's not a walking tour and seriously not appropriate to take kids. However this part of Portland's history is interesting. The tour guide I had was informative and entertaining. If you like to listen to a good story or two it's worth going, but don't do it if you need a big dose of adrenaline to feel entertained.

Tour of a basement. It is obvious that all of the people not close friends or part of this tour operation have a clear unified unbiased opinion of this tour. You cannot have a shanghai tunnel tour without tunnels. Was it really necessary to take us into a stuffy basement to tell us the history of Portland. I would have been just as content reading a book or watching a documentary.

I am not saying this as a personal attack on the people who run this tour. i know they are passionate about what they do and have the best intentions. They claim this is not a business, but they were willing to take our money and should feel obligated to provide some value for it. Create a museum of artifacts, and or a documentary. This tour really does nothing to help there cause and the sooner they realize it and change it the better off they wil be.
