Itinerary
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.
The Taylor Electric Building is a rich and ever-changing canvas of street art.
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.
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.
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.
We will pass under the Burnside Bridge and see the art installations on the Eastside bridgehead

Traveler reviews
Fabulous tour. Austin,...
Fabulous tour. Austin, our guide was knowledgeable and fun. Learned so much about mural art and the history of Portland. Who knew?!
Fun way to get to know the city!
The guide was great. Street art was cool. We stopped for a cup of tea as well!
Boring
Left a lot to be desired. It started as a biking tour, which was accidentally booked when a walking tour was preferred. The bike waa super uncomfortable on the crotch area and I almost got run over in the street as soon as the tour started. At that point, I deemed the tour unsafe and put a stop to the tour at which point the tour guide asked if we wanted to swap to a walking tour. However, no credit for paying for bike rentals was offered, and I feel like the tour was half of what it could have been due to the sudden last-minute change. To sum it up it was boring…
Fabulous guide
We had a blast on what turned out to be a private tour of Portland’s public art! Our guide Kelly went at our pace and shared lots of cool stories along the way.
Vibrant art
Vibrant art around a nice little urban bike ride. Austin was a good ambassador for the art and for Portland.
