Fantastic way to walk parts of Minneapolis while Learning about Prince and his role in music. Great shopping and restaurants along the way.

I visited from Texas and really enjoyed this tour. The narrator is thorough and I got chills a couple times knowing I was standing in some of the same spaces Prince had once stood.

As a long-time fan and member of the art scene in Minneapolis, I agree with the narrator that Prince showed us what was possible to achieve here. He was an inspiration to us all. Also, the poem by the Ukrainian woman was beautiful. Gave me the chills.
