Jessica did a great job. We enjoyed the historic info and the public art was an unexpected bonus. She knows her stuff and the tour was perfectly paced.

She knows her stuff and the tour was perfectly paced.We thought it would be more interesting to see the city’s skyways with a guide who could show us points of particular interest as well as talk about the city’s history, and Jessica did an excellent job with both. She was also great with communications prior to the tour.

She gave us history of the Skywalk and the city. She is very personable and down to earth. We would definitely recommend to anyone who is curious about Minneapolis.

This was such a GREAT tour of downtown Minneapolis on one of the coldest days of this winter. History, architecture, art and so much more. Jessica was such a delight and full of information. My husband and I have recently moved to Mpls from Los Angeles so thoroughly enjoyed learning about our new city in the comforts of the skyway system. We cannot wait to explore more on our own and visit some of the many restaurants. Whether you're a visitor, a new transplant or a native, I encourage you to take this tour--one of the finest!Great tour.
