Nefarious Portland Tour

From villains whose crimes against humanity turned vast profits and poisoned geopolitics across the Atlantic World, to the resisters whose acts of defiance expanded freedoms for modern-day Americans, you’ll step through the centuries while enjoying an insider’s view of both the city’s prime sightseeing spots and less-visited landmarks. Riots, battles, mayhem, and criminal hijinks from generations past come alive with horror and humor, impropriety and inspiration.
