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.

Wonderful! Our guide was so knowledgeable and fun. (Didn’t hurt that we had a beautiful day). We had no idea there were so many interesting buildings and fascinating history here. My friend and I just loved it!

The guide, Dan, was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed learning about the history of Minneapolis. It was a comprehensive tour, and even included a cup of coffee at a local coffee shop. I would highly recommend this walking tour.
