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.

Douglas did a great job giving us an in-depth overview tour of the Twin Cities. We stopped several times to see the beautiful cathedrals and parks that makes the area so special. Douglas is very knowledgeable and he was able to give us insight into the history and growth of both Minneapolis and St. Paul. I highly recommend Douglas for your next tour of the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul area!

Thanks! It was a fun afternoon for all of us. Your curiousity and questions prompted me to provide more insight and anecdotes for topics I usually don’t get to talk about. A great time!

Douglas gave us a fantastic overview tour of the Twin Cities! He was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us insights about the history that we would not have learned on our own. Great tour!

Thank you! We had a fun afternoon together with great summer weather, too. I’m glad we extended your tour duration so we could see more, linger longer at special attractions, and dive a bit deeper. Your curiousity about everything was refreshing for me. I had a ball!
