OVERVIEW

Although Minneapolis and St Paul are twins, each has its own distinct personality made of diverse neighborhoods. Our 90-minute Best Of … Walking Tour allows you to get up-close-and-personal with a particular area. Focusing on Downtown Minneapolis, the Minneapolis River District, and Downtown St Paul, our walking tours let you learn interesting history, be part of our exciting present, and see what’s on the horizon as the Twin Cities continue to attract new residents and change to meet everyone’s needs. There will be plenty of photo opportunities, so don’t forget your camera!

A deeply heartfelt “Thank you!” to each and every person who experienced the Twin Cities with us. It was a great honor to welcome back past guests and an absolute pleasure to greet new ones in 2022.

We’re VERY excited for 2023 and the promise it brings for new experiences and new adventures!

The first new experience is the Historic Cathedral Hill & Summit Avenue Walking Tour. Explore the city’s most scenic and historic neighborhood. Here the Victorian era’s movers and shakers, immigrants and servants, and priests and industrialists created a slice of St Paul which defined the golden age. * Public and private tours available, May through September.

This year’s second new experience is the Trendy North Loop Food Tour. Join us in the newest, coolest, hippest, trendiest neighborhood in Minneapolis – the North Loop – for a food adventure like no other in the Twin Cities. “NOLO” aka “the Warehouse District” is a vibrant neighborhood where old meets new and every block offers an invitation to stay longer. * Details coming soon!

What to expect with Experience The Twin Cities:

Our Experience Experts draw upon numerous partnerships across the metro when creating tours, ensuring our guests receive authentic, quality food and drink, and special access to sites when available.

Our Tour Guides are one-of-a-kind, energetic, and passionate about Twin Cities history, sights, and the food and drink scenes. Whether they were raised here or chose to move here, each guide has developed their favorite stories and discovered their favorite venues which they’re excited to share with guests.

Several tours allow you to walk through the heart of Minneapolis or St Paul, for that up-close-and-personal interaction. Should your tour require transportation, you’ll travel in style in our comfortable, luxury coach buses or our fun-tastic open-air bus! (Even in winter. Seriously!)

Wishing you all a prosperous and happy new year!
