Portland Underground Tours

Portland Underground Tours departs from Hobo's Restaurant at 120 N.W. 3rd Ave. In this maze of underground passageways, shady business deals took place, including shanghaiing, where able-bodied men were held and later sold to unscrupulous sea captains. The Shanghai Tunnels Heritage Tour includes artifacts, holding cells and a trapdoor.

Participants should be able to climb one set of ten steps and stand for short periods on uneven surfaces. The underground is very warm in summer and comfortable in winter; guests should dress for comfort. Participants must sign a waiver before taking the nonrefundable tour. Flashlights are provided.

Guided tours are available. Time: Allow 1 hour, 30 minutes minimum.
