Worth the time! - Great tour. We got to see neighborhoods we would have missed on our own. The tour guide and driver were professional and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about MN.

The Magic Triangle of Minnesota. More than just city. - The ride was a very nice experience. In the triangle between Bloomington, Minneapoliss and St Pauls, green was dominant with beautiful stately homes, lively parks, the wild Mississippi, great museums (mills), fantastic Capitol, America's largest mall 2 cities that perfectly complemented each other to form the Twin Cities. Here a quiet St Paul, there a lively Minneapolis, which can be proud of its history.
A great excursion that led us to extend our stay to have more time

Great tour - Tracy and Lance did an excellent job of driving us around the Twin Cities. The commentary was excellent, easy to understand and full of great information. I love learning some of the history of the area as well as viewing historic homes and sites. Minnehaha Falls was spectacular!

Fantastic Tour - The trip was very informative and we saw and learned so much. Our tour guide Tracy was fabulous! She was a wealth of knowledge and very funny. My family had a great time. The only thing that would make this tour even better would have been letting us stop even for 10 minutes at a few places, such as the Capital & Cathedral, so we could take photos and stretch our legs. It was a bit long being on the bus with only one stop.

Talented guide and excellent driver. - Very erudite gentleman leading tour. Great humorist. Only wish we could get out at least at 3 places vs just at the falls. It was a long time to sit in one place. Maybe at Ordway Square. Could discuss Rice Family and other benefactors of Cities some. Loved the insight into City politics. At stop it should be announced that if you’re more than 10-15 minutes late getting back to bus you will be left behind. Everyone should leave a cell number or forgo a warning call at 5-10 minutes late.

Good but requires better coordination on sites - Enjoyed the tour but JB noted sites AFTER we passed them. The worse one was at Minnehaha Park/Falls. We were given 20 mins to use bathroom and see the Falls as noted by JB. When we returned to the bus, he asked who got to see the President's footsteps and the statue. He didn't mention this significant sites until AFTER we returned to the bus. Would have been nice to have known before we got off the bus to see the Falls. Also, noting sites after we passed them, didn't give us an opportunity to take pictures. He is a good tour guide and informed but need to mention specific sites PRIOR to passing them. Steve, the driver, could/should slow down also, when feasible, to allow the passengers to SEE the site mentioned by JB instead of it being a blur.
