I'm Douglas K., your private tour guide in Minneapolis

Guide #35348

I’m a lively communicator and born storyteller who has years of professional experience showing hundreds of travelers the famous highlights and behind-the-scenes of Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Stillwater, Minnesota. I focus on guiding private cultural and historical day tours throughout the Twin Cities for all types of guests. My flexible approach blends current and historical topics, insight and real-life anecdotes to understand what it's like to live today in the Twin Cities and Minnesota. Plan on an informative, fun and entertaining adventure. I hope you’ll join me! I offer private riding tours (usually 3 hours duration, but often 4 or more hours) and private walking tours (2 hours duration). Transportation for riding tours is a premium “town car” sedan or executive-class SUV that is chauffeured by a professional driver who is licensed and uniformed. "Recommended for anyone!

    Thank you for the tour rating. I'm sure our tour together helped set the stage for your cruise down the Mississippi River. Your request for a stop to tour the interior of the Cathedral of St. Paul was special opportunity for me, too. Thank you for that!

    5 of us graduates of The class of 1966 from Iowa State came to Minneapolis to visit our class mate who was struggling with Parkinson’s, we engaged Douglas for the day to tour us around the city’s historic and cultural features and to have some quality time together with our friends. Douglas could not have been more accommodating to our group as we peppered him with...

    Thanks to your entire group of fraternity bothers for such a fun day together. The weather held and I had a great time - by the end of our day, we'd covered many topics, way more than most groups, thanks to your group's curiosity and engaged interest. It really was an inspiring day for me, too. Go Cyclones!

    My tour guide Douglas was excellent! He was knowledgeable, easy to converse with and made me feel like I was taking a step back in time during our F. Scott Fitzgerald walking tour. And that was exactly what I was hoping for during this tour. Highly recommend!! He also suggested places to go to in the area that were not part of our tour.

    Thank you. Yes, we had a very pleasant stroll through a charming neighborhood during a beautiful morning. And we had fun conversation, too! I'm honored to have been part of your 4-month roadtrip adventure.

    Douglas provided a fantastic driving tour of the Twin Cities giving us in depth historical background and compacting all of the ‘best of’ into 3 hours. We would not have covered a quarter of the grounds or enjoyed our visit near as much without seeing all of the area. A special shout out to driver Brandon as well who included nice ‘locals’ tidbits, really enjoyed them...

    Thank you. I’m glad all of you were able to get a feel for the Twin Cities before your big day-long concert experience. And I’m sure your visit to Prince’s Paisley Park was fascinating, too. Maybe you’ll return again to Minnesota for some ice fishing!
