Just did the Around Portland Like a Local food tour and it was awesome!

I went on the tour last weekend and had such a great time! We started with coffee at this cute little spot, then hit up some amazing food carts. The chocolate dessert at the end was to die for. Perfect for anyone who loves food and wants to explore the city. I’m thinking about giving it as a gift to my sister for her birthday! Highly recommend it!
