Promenade sur la rivière Minneapolis : une visite audioguidée

Aperçu

Welcome to Minneapolis, the home of Nerf Balls, the singer and songwriter Prince, and, yes, Zubaz pants. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll stroll along the Mississippi River. Along the way, you’ll hear about:

• The history of the milling industry in Minneapolis
• The massive Washburn A Mill explosion of 1878
• The 35W Bridge collapse of 2007
• The secret history of "Funkytown"
• An ugly mansion with 86 TVs
• Cougar attacks
• The untimely death of Tiny Tim
• The hiring of a hitman in St. Paul
• ”Untalented but adventurous” German artists, to quote the author Jonathan Raban
• How long it takes a single drop of water to travel down the Mississippi – and how long it takes a person to make the same journey

This walking tour can be enjoyed on location or even virtually at home with VoiceMap's Continuous Play function which disables the GPS playback.

The tour itself was very good. I’d say a 4. However, this being the first one we’ve done, the installing and getting everything set was BAD. It was not clear with the purchase of two passes that we would be able to use two phones so we bought two separate individual tickets. I got my ticket via trip advisor and the app through Apple App Store; my husband through Expedia though I’m not sure why. We hadn’t loaded the app and tickets beforehand thinking we’d get instruction/help at Open Book the starting location of our tour. The lady at the desk was sympathetic and helpful to a point but certainly NOT trained to handle frustrated tourists. Take away advice was to load everything ahead. We lost about an hour of tour time. Unfortunately towards the end of the tour construction along the river walk took us out of range of the designated path so we lost that part of the tour narrative. I expect our experience with future tours to be better!

Difficult to load use the the required ap. I asked for a refund and the Viator rep was resistant for a refund.

Hi Viv We tried to contact you to offer support and didn't hear back. To use the tour, you just need to install the app and use the voucher code provided on your ticket. If you'd still like a refund, please contact us, and not Viator. Thanks, Alicia

My first visit to the Twin City. Traveling with my wife, who was on business trip. We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the small, but not too small, City of St Paul. I took the self guided walking Riverwalk Tour in the Mill District.
