Just did the walking tour in Portland—what an experience!

I just got back from the Portland Historic Heart walking tour and wow, it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable and took us through so many cool spots like Director Park and Pioneer Courthouse Square. I learned a ton about the city’s history and the public art along South Park Blocks was really beautiful. Honestly, if you're in Portland, this is a must-do! I’m thinking of getting this as a gift for my parents next.

Considering the walking tour as a gift—thoughts?

I'm thinking about getting the private city center walking tour for my friend’s birthday, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Has anyone done it? I want to make sure it’s engaging! What did you like most about it? Any tips for someone who hasn’t been around Portland much?
