Phenomenal experience - I was on the July 19 tour. Learning about Minneapolis, seeing the skyways and seeing so much downtown architecture was a huge highlight of my stay. John was very knowledgeable and engaging and very open to questions. If you're visiting Minneapolis for the first time, this is an absolute must have.

John was an AMAZING tour... - John was an AMAZING tour guide!! I booked this tour with my daughter, as she just moved to Minneapolis and we thought this would be a fun was to learn the area. John went above and beyond to show us fun places to go and make food, drink, and entertainment recommendations. He taught us a lot about the history and culture of Minneapolis. He was also recognized a lot due to his TikTok presence! Would definitely book with him again!

The COMPLETE tour - Highly recommend this walking tour with John. You will hit all the sights to see in Minneapolis and leave with recommendations of more things to check out. He was very knowledgeable. This touches on history, current cultural and political climate in Minnesota and Minneapolis, architecture, and more. This is not to miss! We even met people on the tour who we were chatting with the whole way. Felt like we were all family friends!

Great overview of downtown Minneapolis - Dan was a great guide! He was friendly, informative, and went out of his way to answer everybody’s questions. He even stayed after the tour ended to offer tips on restaurants, bars, and other sites of interest in the area.
