Douglas was an overall excellent tour guide. He really knew the history of the area and told it in a very entertaining 2 hours. Prior to and after the tour he gave my wife and I tips on dining and other attractions in the Twin cities. He responded promptly to all e-mails and texts. Would highly recommend his tour.
