    About this experience

    Portland’s historic Mississippi District is home to killer live music venues, eclectic shops, and some of the best restaurants, bars and food carts in any city – especially if you know what to look for. On our walking food tour of Mississippi Avenue, that’s exactly what I’ll show you! Some of the delicious food and drinks we'll sample: - Perfectly cooked egg sandwiches on fresh-baked sourdough. - Locally roasted coffee or craft cocktail (or coffee cocktail!). - Mouth-watering cake & brioche donuts with seasonal ingredients. - Deliciously authentic cubanos and sweet plantains with mojitos. - Melt-in-your-mouth brisket & more from the West Coast’s #1 BBQ spot. Come hungry, thirsty, and curious! The food is the star of this tour, but you’ll also learn about historic Mississippi Ave and the city of Portland. This neighborhood is weird and wonderful, and I’ll share some of the most interesting tidbits along the way.

    Awesome Portland Experience

    Danny was an excellent tour guide. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in learning more about the hidden little places in Portland.

    Response from the operator: Hey Curlen, Thanks for the great review and for touring Mississippi Ave with me. I had a great time with ya'll. Hope your kids' event was amazing! -Daniel

    Best food tour!

    Cannot say enough good things about this tour and Danny, the tour guide. Every stop was great food and/or drink. Danny obviously put a lot of thought into planning this. The tour really shows off the variety of cuisine available in Portland (and, after listening to Danny, we realize we have been exposed to only a small part of an amazing food scene in this city). He says “come hungry,” and he isn’t kidding. My wife and I have been on a lot of food tours, but this was easily the most generous in terms of the amount of and food and drink delivered, all high quality. As an extra bonus, Danny gave us a lot of good info about other restaurants and places to go around town - and places to avoid! Absolutely the tops in value!

    Response from the operator: Hey Jonathan, Thanks for the kind words and the 5-star review! It was truly a pleasure touring and chatting with you and Alice. I hope you enjoy Canard and all the other fun stuff you have planned! -Daniel

    Great food, great drinks, great guide!

    The Mississippi Ave food tour was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Daniel, was fun and welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the city and local food scene. He did a smooth job balancing the menu and schedule. All the food and drinks were outstanding! Can't believe it's all on one street. Very impressed with this area and the Portland food scene. Highly recommend this tour!

    Response from the operator: Hey Jesse, Thanks for the great review! It was a pleasure having you on the tour; it reminded me of my time in NY in the best way. Definitely look us up next time you're in town! - Daniel

    Mississippi Avenue Walking Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Portland.

    How much does Mississippi Avenue Walking Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Portland usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mississippi Avenue Walking Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Portland is not rushed.

    Is Mississippi Avenue Walking Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Portland, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mississippi Avenue Walking Food Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Mississippi Avenue Walking Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mississippi Avenue Walking Food Tour?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Portland can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Portland and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mississippi Avenue Walking Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Portland within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Portland?

    +

    Portland's activity list is food cart and brewery crawls, Columbia River Gorge waterfall tours to Multnomah Falls, Mount Hood day trips and Willamette Valley pinot tastings. Gorge tours vary in how many falls they reach, so route detail is the deciding factor. On Outty we rank every Portland experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Guided Oregon Coast Tour from Portland, Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Half-Day Hiking Tour, Columbia Gorge Waterfalls and Mt. Hood Tour - Full Day. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Portland?

    +

    June to October for the Gorge, with waterfalls at their fullest in spring. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Portland?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
