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 is the only way to see Minnesota’s top two cities!!! 😊 My husband and I had never been to Minnesota before and our guide Doug was a wealth of knowledge. He explaining the differences between St. Paul and Minneapolis as well additional sites to visit. We loved the local knowledge. It was a delight to be chauffeured by experienced driver Magdiel. Doug also had wonderful suggestions for lunch after our tour. We went to the Twin Cities Grill. Do not miss the opportunity to see these cities with Doug. He is the BEST!

Thank you for the kind words. Your tween daughter’s perspective was a fun and fresh take for me, so I enjoyed orienting our highlights tour to her interests. Memorable for me; hopefully memorable for her, too. Enjoy your “state countdown” as you visit each state together in future years!

Fascinating history of the city, beautiful lakes, parks and gardens... a great snapshot of how this city was created! Loved the last view overlooking the St. Anthony Falls, and learning how the flour industry was created. Learned much more than reading hrs of history books. Doug was very personable and amiable. The car ride very comfortable. A great memory! Many thanks
