Old Town Chinatown On A Roll with PDX Pedicab

by pearlgirl

Portland Starts Here.

Pedicab Tours in Old Town Chinatown are Portland's new eco-tourism option.

Climb aboard for high adventure and zero emissions. The orange PDX Pedicabs pick up passengers at the Classical Chinese Garden or the Saturday Market.

On this special audio tour of Old Town, you'll hear about the people who were here from the beginning—and made Portland their home.

Beginning at the Japanese-American Historical Plaza in Waterfront Park, this 45-minute tour winds through Historic Old Town, Japantown and New Chinatown.

Offered Sundays or call 503-PEDICAB to arrange a personal tour.

Tours are $15 per person, 12 and under free with adult purchase.

About the Tour
Neighborhood insiders and cultural specialists have worked to write and produce a sophisticated audio presentation that guides visitors with captivating yet accurate information. Lives of the anonymous, famous and infamous residents of Portland come alive with this insider's guide to Old Town Chinatown. In addition, street-savvy pedicab drivers provide tips on everything from summer events to boutique offerings to what's on the menu at local restaurants. A map indicating the tour stops and local shopping, dining, entertainment and galleries allows passengers to return and enjoy the neighborhood at an even more leisurely pace.

Pedicabs are operated by Pdx Pedicabs and outfitted with digital audio systems. Pedicabs leave from Portland Saturday Market (SW 1st Avenue and SW Ankeny St) and Portland Classical Chinese Garden (NW 3rd at NW Everett) throughout the day on Sundays or anytime by reservation at 503-PEDICAB (503.733.4222). Tickets are $15 per person, children 12 and under free with an adult.
