Great tour in Minneapolis - Tour had great pace.
We learned a lot from the history of the mills, the town development and anecdotes. We got coffee at Dunn Brothers, expored the skyway. Totally recommend for an introduction to the downtown area. We came in a bit late, but the tour guide was very communicative and accommodated us so we can join the tour group.

Worthy Every Penny - Colin was very knowledgeable about Minneapolis and its history. He bought me an iced coffee, which is very kind of him to do that. If you visit Minneapolis, you need to book this tour. You’ll not be disappointed!! He also recommended great restaurants as well.

Great 2 hour walking tour of Minneapolis - Our 2 hour walking tour with guide Dan was a perfect introduction and overview to downtown Minneapolis. Dan enthusiastically shared his knowledge and love of his city, highlighting architecture, landmarks, landscape, notable places, people and moments. We strolled along the riverfront and city sidewalks, and wandered through iconic buildings discovering spectacular city views. Perfect way to start our trip and orient ourselves.
