We'll step back in time during this private, 2-hour tour and hear how St. Paul, Minnesota became a haven for the nation's most notorious gangsters during the first decades of the 20th Century, and the impact of that legacy on life today in the "Saintly City. " Who knew that gangsters, bank robbers, and bootleggers could run their nationwide operations from St. Paul while "hiding in plain sight" from the FBI? On this tour, I'll show you the homes, nightclubs, hangouts - and even the courthouse - where these professional thugs lived, planned, played and were prosecuted. During my entertaining tour, we'll re-live the bad deeds of John Dillinger and his girlfriend Evelyn Frechette, Alvin "Creepy" Karpis and Ma Barker's gang. In addition, we'll see other St. Paul sights as time allows. Want to entertain locals or out-of-towners? Old enough to remember those lurid headlines or young enough to be amazed? Ready for a new twist on a town you thought you knew? This tour is for you.
Starting from your desired pickup point, the tour will include exterior views of many St. Paul locations - some famous and some blandly "everyday" - where yesterday's gangsters lived their lives while planning and committing horrendous crimes. You'll see: - The residence where the wanted criminal John Dillinger lived and learn how he escaped a gun shootout (drive by) - The site of a bloody kidnapping that riveted the nation (stop & talk) - A former illegal speakeasy and casino popular with both the underworld and elite (drive by) - Neighborhoods that welcomed the city's wealthiest citizens alongside the nations' hoodlums (drive through) We'll also see additional St. Paul highlights, including Summit Avenue, the cathedral and Capitol. This tour is engaging and informative rain or shine. The itinerary can be adjusted to accommodate changing weather and your personal schedule. If the size of your group is larger than 4 or if you prefer a different time duration, please inquire for a customized itinerary
