So much insight!
We visited St Paul on a very cold January weekend with another couple and decided to do the skyway tour with Kim. We saw so many things we’d totally miss on our own and Kim pointed out many architectural and historical facts about the city she loves that we all fell in love with it too. It left us wanting to return to explore and spend more time at the gems of St Paul. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and Kim’s expertise of her city!

Great Introduction to Saint Paul
This was a great tour and Kim was an amazing tour guide! We had some great food, and Kim was very knowledgable about both St. Paul/Minneapolis history and about current happenings around the cities. We left the tour with a long mental list of places and events to explore and other foods to try around town.

St. Paul Skywalk Tasting Success
Just completed the St. Paul skywalk food tour & had a wonderful time. There is a healthy dose of St. Paul history included in the tour. The stops along the way had a nice variety of types of food (chocolate, Thai, Somali, Candy, & Beer!). Our family had a great time & would recommend to visiting adults looking for something different to do!
Operator response

Loved our tour! The food was great and our guide was very knowledgeable. We ended up with more food than we could eat, so it was great to have leftovers for dinner and even dessert!

Great overview of St Paul and good food
The tour guide (Kim) was knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the area. The parts of town we walked through were interesting both historically and aesthetically. The food part of the tour was good. It's not really a "foodie" tour, but the food WAS good and from local joints. I'm really glad we did the tour.
Operator response
Thank you for the kind review! We're happy you appreciated the cultural tastings offered at each venue. We love small businesses and accessible food that's affordable to return to if you wish.
