About this activity

We'll connect at a location convenient for you and launch a 3-hour private riding & walking tour of Minneapolis & St. Paul that focuses on local culture, interesting history and what it's like to live today in the Twin Cities. We'll explore famous landmarks and discover little-known spots. I'll share stories and exclusive anecdotes that will bring your private experience alive.

Transportation for this tour is provided in a professionally chauffeured "town car" sedan or Cadillac Escalade SUV.

In town for a limited time? Have an open half-day during your visit? This professionally guided private tour is for you.

It's a great way to experience the highlights and get an overall feel for the cities in a fun and entertaining way. Many guests use this experience to become oriented so they can return later on their own to deeply explore favorite locales.

“Highly recommend!” Melissa A., Wisconsin USA

“…abundant knowledge of how the city works and the locals live.” Karale F., California USA
