Great tour of St Paul! Good mix of local culture and state history - really enjoyed coffee shop and capitol area. Guide was very knowledgeable about buildings and history and was able to include our interests along the way too. Looking forward to a similar tour of Minneapolis in the future!

Very interesting tour with a great guide. From Cathedral and Summit Ave to the Science Center, the public library, Rice Park and Landmark Center, including a stop at a nice cafe and ending at a Pub. Great places and so interesting to learn more about it. Adding the State Capitol would be nice but this take at least one more hour.
