We toured through many areas and neighborhoods seeing and learning about both twin cities. We enjoyed hearing about the history of both cities, learning about the lumber barons and fine mansions. Doug was willing to work with us on getting our rental car which took some time away from the tour. He was very informative and took us around to many places. I would highly recommend him and this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you. The rental car and connections we planned worked well. I’m happy you enjoyed the tour.

Doug was fabulous! He picked up on our preferences and made adjustments accordingly. He covered all of the little know facts and statistics that I enjoy.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
I’m glad you enjoyed your first trip to Minnesota. Come back soon! Thanks.

Amazing highlights of the Twin Cities. Doug was able to relate to my tween daughter and share history in an interesting way! Customized stops to our interests and wonderful service for our tour, made this a 5-star!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for the kind words. Your tween daughter’s perspective was a fun and fresh take for me, so I enjoyed orienting our highlights tour to her interests. Memorable for me; hopefully memorable for her, too. Enjoy your “state countdown” as you visit each state together in future years!

Fascinating history of the city, beautiful lakes, parks and gardens... a great snapshot of how this city was created! Loved the last view overlooking the St. Anthony Falls, and learning how the flour industry was created. Learned much more than reading hrs of history books. Doug was very personable and amiable. The car ride very comfortable. A great memory! Many thanks
Response from Host, Jul 2023
I’m honored to know that your memories of our Twin Cities excursion will travel with you up to the North Shore of Minnesota. I’m so impressed with your expert travel planning skills and was very glad to contribute with lots of tips and itinerary suggestions for the rest of your trip. I know it will all be very memorable!

This was the perfect tour for our first trip to Minneapolis. Douglas was very informative and flexible-creating a tour to match our interests, while still covering Minneapolis’s must see areas. He is also available for questions even after the tour is over.
For those wanting a stress-free experience, we highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you! I had a good time keeping-up with the interest and questions from both you and your husband. We had a great tour, beautiful weather, and I know you enjoyed visiting my suggested additional attractions during your stay. I’m glad you enjoyed your first visit to Minnesota.
Joy_S, May 2023
This was such an EXCELLENT experience!!! Doug and the driver picked us up at our hotel and we headed out for a delightful tour of the twin cities. Doug is super knowledgeable, professional and personable…we will not forget this trip at all!! It was our first time to the area and we loved being able to sit back and take it all in. Highly recommend this tour and we will definitely check out his other tours!!
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you. I had a fun time with both of you, and learned a bit from your husband’s specialized insight, as well. Gotta love that. Come back when the Twins or Saints are playing and we’ll see some more!

I loved traveling with Douglas and learning about twin cities. Highly recommend him if you want to get details of the twin cities and are visiting for the first time. Douglas is very knowledgeable and knows the city in and out.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thank you! I’m glad we were able to add some special stops to your itinerary. Your son (happy 15th birthday!) especially seemed to enjoy our discoveries. Best wishes to him during the upcoming tournament!
Beth, May 2022
Absolutely recommend. I travel to Minneapolis all the time but never able to sneak out of downtown and see the parks and hear the history! We had a free morning and Douglas made it work for our schedule! He tailored the stops to what we were interested in , was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about showing us his city! The art, the parks, the history......It was like having a friend showing us around. The car service was flawless, comfortable and so pro:) excited to come back and do another tour with him. THANK YOU
Response from Host, May 2022
Beth, it was a fun morning with you and Elizabeth! Your engaged enthusiasm was inspiring and we saw and learned a lot. Next time in Minnesota, we can connect to discover more. So too bad your Guardians didn’t fare too well over the weekend. Go Twins!
David_D, Aug 2021
Great tour! Doug goes above and beyond. His tour is flexible and can be adjusted to match your interests. He is knowledgeable and informative. He uses a professional driver so he can focus on the tour he is giving you. He provides excellent recommendations for local restaurants and attractions to visit after the tour. Well worth the money!
