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.

This was such an AMAZING tour! Mr Douglas was such an excellent tour guide. It was our first time in Minneapolis/ St Paul and we decided to take this private tour. Mr Douglas was very nice and polite. He picked us up right on time at the main entrance of out hotel. Then for the next few hours, we were touring many beautiful places in the cities. He was very knowledgeable, on each place he would explain us all about the history and important facts about the city, monuments, buildings etc. He also had the time to answer all our questions about the city. We made stops at the Capitol Building, Minnehaha falls, for lunch etc. at each place he even took the time to explain us about architectural facts, geologic facts, history facts etc. and of course he took pictures of ourselves. He even got the time to teach my teenage boys how to speak with a Minnesota accent!. We were back at our hotel right on time too. Also to be noted is that the driver was also very polite, friendly and he drives very carefully. If you are interested on touring Minneapolis and also learning about it’s people, architecture, laws, history, etc I HIGHLY recommend this tour, you will be happy with the service and will be highly satisfied.

Thank you! Exploring the Twin Cities with your family was a fun day for me, too. And it was clear that your two teen boys had a ball. I hope all your experiences during your first visit in Minnesota were wonderful and that you arrived home in Texas with many good memories. The great family photos should help! Please make sure the boys practice their Minnesota accents, "oh yah."

This was the perfect tour for our first trip to Minneapolis. Douglas was very informative and flexible-creating a tour to match our interests, while still covering Minneapolis’s must see areas. He is also available for questions even after the tour is over. For those wanting a stress-free experience, we highly recommend this tour.

Having never been to the Twin City area I wanted to see it all and Doug (our fabulous tour guide) made sure we did! He is personable, professional and so knowledgeable of the area. We hit all the highlights and many photo ops (Doug was always so gracious to be our photographer)! I highly recommend this tour…Doug and our driver were just wonderful…so nice to sit back and see all the beauty these cities have to offer. We also loved all the recommendations and suggestions for places to visit or restaurants to not miss while there! This is a FIVE star plus tour!!!
