Minneapolis & St. Paul Highlights Private Riding & Walking Tour (3 hrs)

Overview

We'll connect at a location convenient for you and launch a 3-hour private riding & walking tour of Minneapolis & St. Paul that focuses on local culture, interesting history and what it's like to live today in the Twin Cities. We'll explore famous landmarks and discover little-known spots. I'll share stories and exclusive anecdotes that will bring your private experience alive.

In town for a limited time? Have an open half-day during your visit? This professionally guided private tour is for you.

It's a great way to experience the highlights and get an overall feel for the cities in a fun and entertaining way. Many guests use this experience to become oriented so they can return later on their own to deeply explore favorite locales.

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

This tour was one of the best experience’s we ever had! Douglas and his driver were amazing. We learned & saw more about Minnesota in the 3 hours then you ever could on your own. Our customized tour completely exceeded our expectations. Douglas and Dave were so knowledgeable and friendly that it just added so much to our enjoyment of the tour. This experience was worth every penny and then some. We now have lasting memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Paula-Illinois

Thanks much! You’re right…we had a very active 3 hours together as we zipped along to see highlights of the Twin Cities. You got a good snapshot view of my two towns during our fun afternoon. Thanks for your interest and great comments. Sounds like my tips for dining and shopping worked out well, too. Great!

Absolutely recommend. I travel to Minneapolis all the time but never able to sneak out of downtown and see the parks and hear the history! We had a free morning and Douglas made it work for our schedule! He tailored the stops to what we were interested in , was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about showing us his city! The art, the parks, the history......It was like having a friend showing us around. The car service was flawless, comfortable and so pro:) excited to come back and do another tour with him. THANK YOU

Beth, it was a fun morning with you and Elizabeth! Your engaged enthusiasm was inspiring and we saw and learned a lot. Next time in Minnesota, we can connect to discover more. So too bad your Guardians didn’t fare too well over the weekend. Go Twins!
