5.00Good experience. Would recommend. Our tour guide, Doug, was very informative and knowledgeable. Our bus driver, Steve, did a great job of driving especially during construction season. One suggestion would be to spend more time at Cosettas for lunch and allow time to look around while there. The boat cruise was ok but could have been shorter or skipped to allow for this.
Great tour for adults!

5.00We took a wonderful tour with Greg T. and the driver was Steve. Both gentlemen were friendly and Greg gave us a lot of information about St. Paul with a great sense of humor no research that might help evil. It was very enjoyable. The boat ride was nice and lunch was on our own so be prepared for that. If you are looking for a nice affordable tour while you are visiting the Twin Cities, I would suggest this. The charter bus ride was comfortable. Greg and Steve were terrific tour guides.
Great trip
