Minneapolis River Walk: un tour audio autoguidato
Descrizione
Benvenuti a Minneapolis, la casa dei Nerf Balls, del cantante e cantautore Prince e, sì, dei pantaloni Zubaz. In questo tour audio autoguidato passeggerai lungo il fiume Mississippi. Lungo il percorso sentirai parlare di: • La storia dell'industria molitoria a Minneapolis • La massiccia esplosione di Washburn A Mill del 1878 • Il crollo del ponte 35W del 2007 • La storia segreta di "Funkytown" • Una brutta villa con 86 televisori • Attacchi di puma • La morte prematura di Tiny Tim • L'assunzione di un sicario a St. Paul • Artisti tedeschi “senza talento ma avventurosi”, per citare l'autore Jonathan Raban • Quanto tempo impiega una singola goccia d'acqua per percorrere il Mississippi – e quanto tempo impiega una persona per fare lo stesso viaggio Questo tour a piedi può essere goduto sul posto o anche virtualmente a casa con la funzione di riproduzione continua di VoiceMap che disabilita la riproduzione GPS.

This audio tour was awesome. Could stroll along at your own pace and it would know where you were and start up at the landmarks.
Well-written and well-delivered audio with tons of interesting facts about the Mississippi River and the points along the route. Highly recommend!
I picked this as I had an offer to use. Today was close to 50 degrees outside in Mn. There was times the wind was right in your face. We tried to do with the car - hard to follow walking path. The very start of the video was not very clear where you were to be on the stone bridge, possible on walking path below. So the video kept repeating the same statement like 3 times. I would really like to know next time how many miles total for the walk, I believe this one was about a 5 mile walk.
I really enjoyed the tour. Thank you so much. The stories were endearing and interesting and made me want to read the book Under Purple Skies and sail down to New Orleans. I took way too many photos but posted the best ones here. Thanks again.
Fun self guided walking tour of this beautiful, historic and interesting part of the city along the river. Nice narrative, easy to follow and good humor kept it enjoyable and informative. Open Book is a great starting place (go in) and parking was easy on the street. I grew up here and am happy I finally got to spend some time in this area!
Great walk. This is for people who are prepared for a huge urban hike. Be sure the weather is good and dress comfortably and have water. My only complaint is the end point was a big distance from the starting point. Long walk back. Tiring, but looked good on my pedometer.
The narration was fantastic. So fun! The theater over the river was fabulous. The extension that went straight out toward the river overlooking the river was so cool.
Easy to follow walkabout, picked up some historical tidbits and great views of the river and the city. Took about an hour, across one bridge and back another....
Excellent tour of the City. I learned a lot about its history and enjoyed the jokes in between. I didn’t mind that it ended in a different spot that it started as it wasn’t a super long walk back to where it began and the narrator gave you directions back
Excellent self-guided tour. Took about 1.5 hours to complete. Just walking around without this tour would not give a person the chance to appreciate the history of the areas covered.
