Walking St. Paul Summit Ave. Gilded Age Homes Private 2-hour Tour

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!
