The bars were quirky but I expected a little more out of the ordinary since Portland claims weird to be its thing. Overall a well run tour though, had lively discussions about ufos and bigfoot and portland history. And you get a free flight which is probably $10-15 so a very cheap tour considering that. If you truly want a weird bar theatric bar check out Raven's manor on your own later.

Otneil is a great tour guide. My husband and I enjoyed listening to his stories about the “weird” side of Portland (UFO, Big Foot, fun facts). We learned so much about the local customs and history. We left the tour feeling amazing and worth it. Definitely recommend the tour to first timers and Otniel!!!
