Top Minneapolis-Saint Paul Half-day Tours

Whether you’re new to Minnesota or have been a lifetime resident, the secrets sitting in our capital city are sure to surprise you. Join an expert local guide as you explore the rags and riches of this incredible city — from the wealth Summit Hill neighbourhood, to the secret caves that stored illegal booze-making facilities, you’ll learn that there’s lot more to this city than meets the eye. You’ll start your tour atop one of the 7 hills of St. Paul, then head over to the Capitol before weaving back into admission the high-rises of downtown. Along the way you’ll learn stories of old St Paul, stop for a coffee at a fantastic local establishment, and finish with a beer for the road.

Learn about the Minneapolis brewpub scene and enjoy as many craft beer varieties as you like on this guided, all-you-can-drink, small-group brewery tour.

Snacks and round-trip transportation by minibus included.

See the best of the Twin Cities on foot and from a private car on this guided tour of Minneapolis and St. Paul. This sixteen-stop tour covers the best of both cities. See where the professional sports teams play at Xcel Energy Center and Target Field. Pass by some of the area’s serene spaces like Lake of the Isles and Minnehaha Falls. Visit the Minnesota State Capitol and Mill District while listening to local stories.

Spend three hours exploring a curated list of four of Minneapolis’ best bars. We won’t just be drinking there, we’ll be learning the story of the bar, meeting the bartender, and trying a new drink. Once you’re settled in with your drink, I’ll have a story to share with you about what helped make this fascinating city what it is today. The tour’s unnamed guest star is YOU. One third drinking, one third history and one third banter make this a thirst-quenching, educational, and social experience that has a little something for everybody.

Welcome to my Minneapolis! We'll walk through the heart of the city east to west, with a respite in the middle for a light lunch. From downtown there'll be a short drive and visit to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden followed by another short drive to the Chain of Lakes. This isn't a tour of historical facts and figures, instead, I want you to get to know Minneapolis by experiencing it! This is where I grew up and the city that keeps me coming back no matter where I roam. As an international tour guide, I spend a lot of my time excitedly researching and traveling to far flung destinations. It is with this same enthusiasm for foreign lands that I created this unique day tour of my hometown, which includes just some of the things I find remarkable about the city. (Please note, you should be able to walk at least a mile. Wear comfortable shoes. Tour ends at Lake Harriet, a great place to spend time outdoors and grab a drink/bite to eat. You'll need to arrange return transportation.)

The package tour will give you priority seating on the bus portion of the tour, as well as a VIP photo opportunity with a 1930 Hudson Essex Gangster Car.
