This tour was great. Lots of info about the history of Minneapolis as well as lots of good insights on things going on now. Jessica was an awesome guide. Highly recommend!

Minneapolis is a city deeply committed to the arts, with a set of core values that celebrates creativity, diversity, and community. This walking tour through the heart of Minneapolis is a perfect blend of the arts and urban life. We'll walk the length of Nicollet Mall, a showcase of public art that transforms the heart of downtown into an open-air gallery. This mile-long corridor features a diverse range of sculptures and installations that reflect the city’s culture and history. We'll encounter a mix of notable buildings both historic and modern, all contributing to the unique character of downtown. The Loring Greenway will take us to Loring Park where vibrant water features, pavilions, and bronze, abstract & whimsical sculptures reside. Then, on to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, which sits adjacent to the Walker Art Center and features over 40 sculptures across 11 acres! Inspiration is all around!

We had a fabulous morning tour with Jessica. She was very knowledgeable and helped us to not only navigate the city, but also showed us unique aspects of Minneapolis that we would have never seen nor found! Highly recommend!

Jessica was a really great guide to introduce us to Minneapolis. A well paced walking tour through the riverfront and downtown areas. Used the light rail to visit more of the city without adding to the time spent just walking. We have been on many walking tours and this was one of the best. If you want an excellent way to start a Minneapolis visit try this tour.

It was a great tour - friendly, informative, and it made us fall in love with a new city! We covered a good amount of ground and the tour guide was flexible when we wanted to stop or take a quick detour. Highly recommend!
