Best 2 hour experience of St Paul.
We 4 LOVED the 2:30 bus tour. Our gangster guide was phenomenal. He talked for 2 straight hours. Our gangster was very entertaining, great humor, engaged with the audience and taught us a lot. We would highly recommend this hidden gem of a tour!! A must do in St Paul!!!

Ma Parker would be proud!
Wonderful! The guide was fantastic in giving life to the interesting darker side of St. Paul ‘s history. Staying in character she captured the essence of the gangster days. As the bus weaved it’s way through the streets of the capital city she coordinated each location with informative narration giving life to the sordid history of the capital city gangster era.
