Brian was the best! Knowledgeable, friendly, informative, everything we could want in a tour guide. My friend and I were very impressed with the experience.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our Historic Downtown St Paul Food Tour and our guide, Brian. We are very happy you enjoyed day and hope to see you again for another experience!
Enjoyed it thoroughly. Brian was very knowledgeable and engaging. It’s not just about food, it about history, culture and pride in the city Brian loves.
Our tour guide Brian was very knowledgeable of the St Paul area. He shared lots of history with us.We loved all of the stops we made from the chocolate to the ethnic foods we had the opportunity to try. Thanks so much Brian.
Thank you so much for your review of our Historic Downtown St Paul Food Tour! We're so happy you enjoyed the experience with Brian. We hope to see you again!
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!
We went on the St Paul Chocolate Tour and had a wonderful time! From the charming and informative guide, to the generous samples, the friendly chocolatiers and the comfortable bus, this tour company had it all. We would go on another one of their tours in a heartbeat.
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.
