"Crooked" St. Paul Gangsters Private Riding Tour (2 hrs)

"Crooked" St. Paul Gangsters Private Riding Tour (2 hrs)

Overview

We'll connect at a location and hour convenient for you and step back in time during this private, 2-hour riding tour. You'll hear how St. Paul, Minnesota became a haven for the nation's most notorious gangsters, including John Dillinger, during the first decades of the 20th Century, and the impact of that legacy on life today in the "Saintly City. "

How could bank robbers and bootleggers run their crimes while "hiding in plain sight"? This private riding tour will show the homes, nightclubs, hangouts - and even the courthouse - where these professional thugs lived, planned, played and were prosecuted.

We'll also see other St. Paul highlights, including Summit Ave, cathedral and Capitol.

Want to entertain locals or out-of-towners? Old enough to remember those lurid headlines or young enough to be amazed? Ready for a new twist on a town you thought you knew? This tour is for you.

Transportation for this tour is provided in a professionally chauffeured "black car" sedan or SUV.

Our Tour guide Douglas Kline and his driver we’re absolutely fantastic! We we’re picked up right from our hotel and given a 3 hour custom tour. It truly exceeded our expectations as we learned so much about Minnesota and it’s colorful background. Douglas is a very warm & delightful person and his knowledge was outstanding. Our experience was worth every penny because the memories we walked away with is priceless.

Thank you! I had hoped that you would like the customized tour created for you – with the special gangster lore and the added Prince attractions blended-in to our itinerary. The specialized combination seemed to work well for both you and your brother. We had a fun time!
