Awesome experience! Highly recommend! - We had a great time with Dan! He was a great guide and patiently answered all of our questions! We learned a lot about Minneapolis, a bit of history, and current changes. We covered a lot of ground and went to some really cool places. We live in Ohio, and my and his girlfriend live in Minneapolis. Lots to learn for native Minneapoltians as well as out of towners! Highly recommend this tour. We will do one of their other tours next time in the twin cities area!

Great tour, great tour guide! - Good tour! Our tour guide was Colin. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the city. We were glad we took the tour on the first day of our trip…as he suggested more things to do while we were in the city. Since this was the walking bar tour, he first asked us if we had any preference on what type of bar and alcohol we tended to prefer. Then he customized it from there since there were only 2 of us on the tour (3 counting Colin). Probably not a possibility with larger groups of strangers. Being that it was just my boyfriend and I…it didn’t feel awkward. He was easy with conversation and knew a little bit about a lot of topics.

Delicious drinks with plenty of walking and history mixed in to the tour. - Great experience walking around Minneapolis's North Loop. Checked out 4 bars and enjoyed everything from cocktails to wine and beer. My tour guide Dan shared plenty of history about the area. He provided lots of suggestions for things to do in Minneapolis/ St Paul. Great time -- highly recommend!

Great team building activity - Had a group of 9 do a tour with Dan. You get double the value -- great beer/bar stops that are unique and a proper tour/guide of The Loop and other districts where the beer stops were.
