5.00John is an amazing guide. In addition to showing us the city center and the skyway network, he had lots of information about our surroundings that made this a REALLY GREAT experience! The tour route was very picturesque… reflections and unusual angles around every corner resulted in great photos for me to take home.

5.00Fantastic Introduction to Minneapolis! This was our first time visiting Minneapolis, and our tour guide Camille made it a truly memorable experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing not only the city’s rich history but also fun facts and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Camille was warm, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city. She even went above and beyond by giving us personalized recommendations for the rest of our trip. We highly recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your visit—it’s the perfect way to get your bearings and discover what makes Minneapolis so special. Thanks again, Camille!
