Dan the Man

I learned so much on this tour; I have a newfound appreciation and admiration for Minneapolis. What I enjoyed the most is that Dan is passionate about history. Instead of feeling like I was on a "tour," I felt like I was visiting a friend in their hometown where they knew all the stuff you need to know and stuff that you probably wouldn't know if you didn't have the inside scoop. I highly recommend this experience!

Great tour, great value!

Our tourguide was Collin and he was absolutely wonderful. I am a history lover and was thrilled to discover that he was knowledgeable and easily answered all of my questions. He always volunteered to take our pictures and even recommended which angle would be best. We had a great time and could not have been happier. We highly recommend this tour.

Collin was very kind and very knowledgeable. He was personable and thoroughly explained many details along the way. There was plenty to see and Collin covered it all. The coffee shop stop was a pleasant surprise. I would greatly recommend this tour. Collin also offered recommendations for food, etc.

Great experience!

I had such a great experience with Colin as my guide! He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour really enjoyable. I felt like I got an amazing feel for the city and was able to see so much in a short amount of time. I booked the tour the night before because my fiancé had a last-minute business trip, and even though I ended up being the only person on the tour, Colin made it so fun and engaging. It felt like such a personalized experience, and I’m so glad I did it. Highly recommend!
