5.00Had the pleasure of joining Collin on the tour just over a week ago. Certainly one of the highlights of the trip for me. As someone who loves a good walking tour everywhere they go, this was everything I wanted and more. Collin is extremely knowledgeable and has a great way about him, he also takes a great photo. As other reviews have mentioned, you get a nice coffee along the way. The tour is nicely paced and was well worth the money. Collin couldn't have been more accommodating and the tour ensured my time in Minneapolis was off to an amazing start.

5.00Great experience, a bit of walking, but we went back to a couple of places to see again. Narration was very good and engaging. We could have done another hour.

5.00Collin, our Guide, was extremely knowledgeable and a delightful person. Highlights were the Mill District and Museum, Skyway tours of buildings and Prince history & memorabilia. Minneapolis City Hall was a surprising architectural delight. Its history, stained glass windows and God of the Rivers Statue (Made from the same marble as Michelangelo’s David) all amazing.

4.00Minneapolis impresses in several key areas. The greater Minneapolis communities and governments commitment to integrated green space, parks, bike paths, the arts and many other such amenities and facilities make the city a pleasant and interesting place to live and visit. It is truly impressive. Other cities need to study and copy its blueprint.
Nice walking tour
