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.

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.

My wife and I visited Minneapolis and St. Paul with Doug and his driver. Saw more than we ever would have on our own, and my wife, who researches our trip, and is pretty good, could not have come up with all the information and colorful stories that Doug did. I walk a little slow sometimes, but Doug kept the pace so that I was able to really enjoy myself. Couldn’t ask for a better tour. Exceeded our hopes for learning, and seeing the two cities. This isn’t my first rodeo touring with a guide, and from past experiences, Doug stands out as an excellent guide. If we return to this area, we will book with Doug again.

I enjoyed our time together and getting to know you and your wife. We shared so many stories that I learned as much about your home and travels as you may have learned from me. That’s what it’s all about! Thank you.

In my humble opinion, Doug is the top guide for touring Minneapolis and St. Paul. For me, a guide adds value to travel, so I always search for a guide when I can. Doug gave so much to my capital countdown, learning about our different states as I go. His depth and breadth of knowledge, given in such a friendly, intelligent and amusing manner, meant that Minnesota, Minneapolis and Saint Paul, stand above other states I have visited. He brought the present day and history vividly alive. I was excitedly sharing his stories with my niece who picked me up at the airport to take me home and she wants to visit Minneapolis now! He makes his love for Minneapolis so contagious, and a trip like this one with Doug can be remembered and savored after you are home. So there is double the value- enjoying the trip with Doug while you were there and remembering all that you experienced afterwards. Without Doug. I would not have enjoyed a fraction of what I was able to see and hear. Top guide, top notch guy.

Excellent Tour and Guide!! We were a group of Women Golfers from Fort Lauderdale Country Club on our spring ladies golf trip. Having no idea about the city of Minneapolis, Doug arranged a fabulous tour to accommodate our group. We had so much fun and learned a lot about the city and history. Thank you for a memorable day!

Thank you for bringing your golfing group to Minnesota. Our extended tour was really fun – you saw nearly all the great sites and had some bonus stops along the way…plus an hour for a tasty lunch. The energy and curiousity from your lively group was infectious. A great day!
