We had fun the guide was fun and knowledgable Yes I would recommend this is bs to have to do x amount of words I hate this but liked the guide
Brian is a very friendly, knowledgeable and good presenter. His tour was awesome and everything went without any problems. The tour started and finished in timely fashion. I recommend this tour with Brian!
Our guide, Brian, was very pleasant & knowledgeable. The pace was comfortable and casual. The food choices were very good. We live across the river (in Minneapolis) and don’t make it to St. Paul as much as we’d like, so this tour was a fun way for us to spend an afternoon in St. Paul. It happened to be an unusually warm and beautiful November day so we walked outside most of the way instead of in the skyways. Lucky us! I think going through the skyways would also be fun - especially in the winter!
Thank you, Todd, for the wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the St Paul Skyway Food Tour (in the glorious outdoors!). We appreciate you crossing the river for us and hope we see you again on another experience, maybe our Trendy North Loop Food Tour!
Good food and some history thrown in during the this walking tour was a great way to get to know St. Paul. We really enjoyed our time with tour guide Kim!
Nice variety of food. The host was very nice & informative. It also helped that the weather was great! Three hours was the perfect amount of time.
Thank you for the kind review, Laura! We're so happy you enjoyed seeing and tasting your way through the heart of St Paul!
One of the best food and history tours we’ve taken. Highly recommend. Kim was a great tour guide. So glad we did this.
It was a pleasant enjoyable walk around downtown St Paul. We always enjoy hearing of the history that formed the city. The chocolate shop and the candy shop and the Somalian diner were hits…we skipped out on the last two stops because when we saw the riverboats we remembered we had ridden them 45 years ago on our honeymoon, so skipped so we could catch them. We enjoyed Kim, our guide.
This walking tour was masterfully curated! Jonas a wealth of knowledge and a delightful guide. I mean, we started with chocolate it JUST DOESN'T get better than that! I love the inclusivity of diverse cuisines. I walked 7777 steps so be mindful you WILL walk off your calories consumed. Great small group setting.
Very fun and knowledgeable tour guide! (Kim). Great variety of stops, food, beverages. Would recommend to tourist and locals!
Kim was a great tour guide giving the history of the area and the food along the way was fantastic! The best part was the Somalian food.
