About PNW Walking Tours

Exploring the History, Architecture and Culture of the Pacific Northwest

Explore the architecture, history and culture of the Pacific Northwest with architectural historian Eric Wheeler. These walking tours feature the history and architecture of Portland and a number of other communities in the PNW.

Eric’s tours are designed for new arrivals, visitors and area residents. The easy walking pace is designed to allow plenty of opportunity to see the sites, hear the guide and engage socially with other participants. This is a Meetup after all! 🙂

The tours typically meet and end at a restaurant, pub or coffee shop, to allow for optional social time with the group before or after the tour. There is a fee for these researched and guided walking tours. Typically $20 per tour. There is no fee to join the Meetup and follow the schedule of walking tours.
