    I enjoyed the tour for three hours it was well worth the $40.00. Dan is a awesome tour guide. He has the history of the Twin Cities and down to the point. I'm glad I did take this tour. I will tell everyone I know to take this tour. I'm from Memphis, TN and I'm here working this was a lot of fun.

    Good history. Pointed out main sites with good stories. Engaging guide. Wish it was a hop on hop off bus tour but they stopped that at labor day. Comfortable bus. With a bathroom!
    Never was planning a tour...
    Lurraine_H, Sep 2023
    Never was planning a tour on this day. Ignorance never bothered to inform me that there would be no tour,even though I got e mails and text messages reminding me not to forget to have my tickets printed which I had. Maybe I should of sent you photos of us waiting at the bus stop for 2 hours.Only time I would have a vacation there. and could of planned something else.Left on Saturday.I do not know what kind of company you run.-Not one that deserves your business
    Better than expected.
    Lisa_S, Sep 2023
    The tour was even better than I expected. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and offered many interesting stories. You could tell the tour was well thought out and planned in order to hit the important things in the Minneapolis twin city tour. I would definitely recommend it..
    Awesome Tour
    Jessalynn_H, Sep 2023
    The tour and tour guide was awesome! Although we drove bye alot of the historical landmarks so fast it was hard to get a picture I still had good time. One comment I would add would be to include a lunch break for people to stop and purchase food.
    An excellent introduction to the Twin Cities
    Laura_R, Aug 2023
    We were a little skeptical going in, as it is a Bus tour, but the tour was excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and amusing. We were able to see all the sites of Minneapolis and we had time at the waterfall. The coach bus was very comfortable. Overall, it was a great introduction to the city.
    A tour worth your time

    Driver and tour guide we very attentive we were ont time and saw all the stops regardless of our pickup time and place
    The history of the tour....
    christinebell52, Aug 2023
    The history of the tour. But we did not need a printed ticket, it took us 2 hours of our vaca trying to get printed copies in the hotel, their printer would not work.. Not a fun experience. Finally got a hold of the tour company and they said they have never required a printed ticket, ticket on my phone was good enough.
    Enjoyable
    Diane_M, Aug 2023
    Some facts mentioned seemed a bit off and when we checked afterwards they were … not a big deal but would expect tour guide to be very accurate … he obviously loves his city and was easy to listen to 👍🏻
    Wonderful Tour

    Lisa_C, Jul 2023
    Both our guide and chauffeur were awesome - friendly, funny and knowledgeable! Our guide was full of historic facts and shared them in a way that was that was interesting and was very descriptive in ensuring that you were looking at the the right historic house on the street, when and where we needed to meet after getting out of the bus...all around a great trip!

    Waste of Time
    John_E, Jul 2023
    Paid for the tour, waited for 25 minutes at the pick up location. Finally called, was told that the tour had been canceled. However, never received an email, text, or phone call telling us that. Big waste of time. Now I am watching my credit card to make sure I get the refund.
    great tour
