5.00It was our family reunion. Everyone loved the tour. I would recommend this as an activity for a family reunion especially if there are out of state quests.

5.00Greg provided us with great narration throughout the tour. We saw many interesting and beautiful sites. I especially loved seeing the mansions and the cherry on the top was Minnehaha Falls. Steve was a great driver. I can’t believe how he managed the tight turns!
Wonderful!!

4.00Very erudite gentleman leading tour. Great humorist. Only wish we could get out at least at 3 places vs just at the falls. It was a long time to sit in one place. Maybe at Ordway Square. Could discuss Rice Family and other benefactors of Cities some. Loved the insight into City politics. At stop it should be announced that if you’re more than 10-15 minutes late getting back to bus you will be left behind. Everyone should leave a cell number or forgo a warning call at 5-10 minutes late.
Worth the time!

5.00Great tour. We got to see neighborhoods we would have missed on our own. The tour guide and driver were professional and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about MN.
Good but requires better coordination on sites

4.00Enjoyed the tour but JB noted sites AFTER we passed them. The worse one was at Minnehaha Park/Falls. We were given 20 mins to use bathroom and see the Falls as noted by JB. When we returned to the bus, he asked who got to see the President's footsteps and the statue. He didn't mention this significant sites until AFTER we returned to the bus. Would have been nice to have known before we got off the bus to see the Falls. Also, noting sites after we passed them, didn't give us an opportunity to take pictures. He is a good tour guide and informed but need to mention specific sites PRIOR to passing them. Steve, the driver, could/should slow down also, when feasible, to allow the passengers to SEE the site mentioned by JB instead of it being a blur.
Resident from the area with a newfound proudness.

5.00I am from the Minneapolis area . I wanted to get an overview of the Twin Cities area and this tour accomplished that. I felt very proud of the beauty. Minneapolis-St. Paul has to offer.
The Magic Triangle of Minnesota. More than just city.

5.00The ride was a very nice experience. In the triangle between Bloomington, Minneapoliss and St Pauls, green was dominant with beautiful stately homes, lively parks, the wild Mississippi, great museums (mills), fantastic Capitol, America's largest mall 2 cities that perfectly complemented each other to form the Twin Cities. Here a quiet St Paul, there a lively Minneapolis, which can be proud of its history. A great excursion that led us to extend our stay to have more time
Great guides/run tour
