On my first visit to Saint Paul, I had a very informative and fun tour guided by Dan. There were just three of us, and we all enjoy walking tours. Dan was a wealth of knowledge. He answered all our questions and gave us a lot of interesting stories about what we were seeing. I especially enjoyed the cathedral, James Hill house and the others on Summit Ave. It was nice to have an included coffee break at a local coffee house, and end the tour with a local beer at a tavern downtown. Would definitely recommend this tour if you enjoy seeing things you wouldn’t see on a bus tour.The tour of Saint Paul was well worth it. Our tour guide, John, we well versed in the state and local history and as out-of-staters we learned very much. It was well paced and informative. Highly recommend it if you are ever visiting Saint Paul.
