Your Itinerary

Portland

After fitting for a bike and helmet at Around Portland Tours' shop at 833 SE Main #124, we'll head out to the streets of Portland for a slow-paced ride through the Central Eastside industrial district. We'll ride into the Hawthorne District, home to coffee roasters and breweries.

Taylor Electric Building

The Taylor Electric Building is a rich and ever-changing canvas of street art.

Cargo

(Pass by)

The import shop is such a haven for artists, that its building has long played host to one of the most colorful and popular pieces of street art. Occasionally (on rainy days!) we visit the shop for an immersion into local and international art.

Portland

The inner eastside industrial district is a profusion of art. Nearly every building is a canvas — either unauthorized or authorized. We’ll stop multiple times in the inner eastside to describe, discuss and photograph our favorite pieces.

Burnside Skatepark

Not only a host to amazing street art, but a user-created canvas too, the Burnside Skate Park is unmatched in street culture. We'll visit the park and meet some of the locals who are part of the skate community.

Burnside Bridge

We will pass under the Burnside Bridge and see the art installations on the Eastside bridgehead

I had a great time, and see the city differently after the tour. Kelly, our guide, was great at managing the bike riding aspect, showed us a variety of interesting art, and told us some great stories. It was fun, and enriching.

Passion_A

We booked this tour for a chance to explore the artistic side of the city, to celebrate our anniversary. It was a great experience. Kelly our tour guide was so kind and very patient with us. We didn't have gloves and it was freezing that day, and she provided us with some. We hadn't ridden bikes in years and needed time to practice so she let us practice for as long as we needed (which took us 30 minutes😅) We didn't feel pressured or rushed at all, which was very much appreciated. The tour was awesome. Very amazing art worth seeing. 😊

Great and interesting experience! Our guide Eli was very friendly and informative and made the tour fun.

We were looking for something different to do on our trip and absolutely loved our street art tour! The tour was really well done and hosted, my wife and I had a lot of fun and were amazed at the history and abundance of interesting street art. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something slightly different that they can do alone or in a group. It is a bargain at $38 and a great way to spend a couple of hours - don’t forget your camera! AAA+++

Our guide was Dustin who grew up in Portland. He was personable and funny, but we didn't get the feeling of having a passion for street art. He was patient and allowed us to explore/photograph the art work as much as we needed. We had bikes that were comfortable and had strong brakes. Helmets and a bottle of water were included. We have been on many street art tours and we would have liked some deeper conversation regarding the murals and artists. We mainly visited large murals - we did not focus on stickers, paste-ups and graffiti. We did get to see a variety of artists creating new art on the day that we were out - we thought that was interesting. We would suggest adding on a quick stop at a local coffee or tea shop - we rode right by Smith Teahouse (a great opportunity). Use those opportunities to help travelers connect and learn more about Portland area. We did not ride by/talk about food cart pod as mentioned in the description. We did not learn about the Hawthorne bridge going up/down - your description made us feel that we would. This tour allowed us to feel out the Central Eastside industrial area.

We loved this tour by Everett! What a cool way to explore the industrial side of Portland. Everett had such great enthusiasm for Portland street art with the added bonus of tid bits about the real history of Portland. Thanks for a lovely afternoon! -Jackie and Sara

Excellent! An absolutely fabulous way to see parts of the city you may ordinarily overlook. Being taken around by a local, it’s just the best way to discover somewhere new to us travellers. It was a very easy bike ride, very easy pace, and I’m not a keen rider! A must do!

esther j

Great way to see the city and learn about the urban culture. I would highly recommend this on your next trip. Doug was very informative!

Chelsea_B

Amazing experience and such a great way to see the niche underbelly of Portland. Everett was a pleasant tour guide with vast knowledge of the city and a sunny disposition. 10/10

Not only is the art itself outrageously cool — and so much of it! — but also the education about the street art scene in Portland was rich, fascinating, and almost like a fun college class in the theory of street art. I unhesitatingly recommend this!
