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.

Great tour! Doug goes above and beyond. His tour is flexible and can be adjusted to match your interests. He is knowledgeable and informative. He uses a professional driver so he can focus on the tour he is giving you. He provides excellent recommendations for local restaurants and attractions to visit after the tour. Well worth the money!

This was a fantastic experience. We scheduled a 3 hour private tour. Doug was our guide and David was our driver. First, David the driver totally completed this 5 star experience. His car was luxurious, immaculate, and his professionalism was too notch. Doug was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the Twin Cities. Doug was like having your own personal history and architectural professor. I’ve taken many tours, but none was better than this one. If your budget allows, TAKE THIS TOUR!!!!!

Thank you for being such engaged and curious tour guests. Your good questions kept me on my toes and your comments were insightful…great interaction! Thanks also for noting the expertise of my driver, his 5-star service and the “luxurious sedan,” as you described it. Much appreciated. Go Twins, er, Astros!

Doug is a wealth of knowledge and was able to customize the tour to suit our specific requests. Besides being accommodating, he has such a vast knowledge of the Twin Cities that we could have listened to him for hours on end. It was very convenient having the car but also with the option to walk and stretch you legs and experience all of the beautiful sites. Definitely not a tour to be missed!

Kelley & Misel, I had a ball guiding you throughout the Twin Cities. Your insights and reactions prompted some great discussions, and I loved hearing your points of view. After we parted, I enjoyed your gift can of hard-to-find Faygo pop. Very refreshing after so much inspired conversation! Thanks for that, too.
