Very informative, but 99% was about St Paul, not Twin Cities, as the tour name would suggest. Enjoyed the two breaks for coffee and a beer. Tour guides very knowledgeable.

Hey Donna - this is great feedback, thanks for taking the time to leave it. We're taking it on board and working on a Minneapolis-specific version of this tour as we speak. Stay tuned!

We have never been to the twin cities and wanted to learn about the area. The St. Paul walking tour with Collin was amazing!! He was so knowledgeable of the area and about local history. The Basilica and homes on the tour were so beautiful. Collin was the best guide! So personable and delightful. Thank you so much for a great day! We will definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Hey marie - thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Would you believe that this is Collin's first tour guiding gig? He's a legend, and I'm glad to hear you had a nice time out with him!

Collin gave us a great tour of St. Paul, he was easy to talk to and of course very knowledgeable. We left knowing we'll be back to many of the places he took us!
