Our non-profit board met in Minneapolis and we were looking for a fun team outing. Doug delivered! A comfortable vehicle, confident driver and endless sights and stories from around the Twin Cities. We all enjoyed it. Even the locals learned some new things!

Douglas Kline’s tour was awesome!! He provided a historical, community focused and collaborative as well as engaging experience. His historic knowledge of the Twin Cities was outstanding! He captured the elements of the community that is quintessential Minnesota. He individualized our tour to our personal preferences and interests , which attracted us towards his tours. Douglas is an asset and excellent ambassador for the Twin Cities as well as Minnesota! We will definitely book tours with him for next visit to the area.

We toured through many areas and neighborhoods seeing and learning about both twin cities. We enjoyed hearing about the history of both cities, learning about the lumber barons and fine mansions. Doug was willing to work with us on getting our rental car which took some time away from the tour. He was very informative and took us around to many places. I would highly recommend him and this tour.

Doug was fabulous! He picked up on our preferences and made adjustments accordingly. He covered all of the little know facts and statistics that I enjoy.

This is the only way to see Minnesota’s top two cities!!! 😊 My husband and I had never been to Minnesota before and our guide Doug was a wealth of knowledge. He explaining the differences between St. Paul and Minneapolis as well additional sites to visit. We loved the local knowledge. It was a delight to be chauffeured by experienced driver Magdiel. Doug also had wonderful suggestions for lunch after our tour. We went to the Twin Cities Grill. Do not miss the opportunity to see these cities with Doug. He is the BEST!

Amazing highlights of the Twin Cities. Doug was able to relate to my tween daughter and share history in an interesting way! Customized stops to our interests and wonderful service for our tour, made this a 5-star!

Annette_M

Fascinating history of the city, beautiful lakes, parks and gardens... a great snapshot of how this city was created! Loved the last view overlooking the St. Anthony Falls, and learning how the flour industry was created. Learned much more than reading hrs of history books. Doug was very personable and amiable. The car ride very comfortable. A great memory! Many thanks

My wife and I visited Minneapolis and St. Paul with Doug and his driver. Saw more than we ever would have on our own, and my wife, who researches our trip, and is pretty good, could not have come up with all the information and colorful stories that Doug did. I walk a little slow sometimes, but Doug kept the pace so that I was able to really enjoy myself. Couldn’t ask for a better tour. Exceeded our hopes for learning, and seeing the two cities. This isn’t my first rodeo touring with a guide, and from past experiences, Doug stands out as an excellent guide. If we return to this area, we will book with Doug again.

In my humble opinion, Doug is the top guide for touring Minneapolis and St. Paul. For me, a guide adds value to travel, so I always search for a guide when I can. Doug gave so much to my capital countdown, learning about our different states as I go. His depth and breadth of knowledge, given in such a friendly, intelligent and amusing manner, meant that Minnesota, Minneapolis and Saint Paul, stand above other states I have visited. He brought the present day and history vividly alive. I was excitedly sharing his stories with my niece who picked me up at the airport to take me home and she wants to visit Minneapolis now! He makes his love for Minneapolis so contagious, and a trip like this one with Doug can be remembered and savored after you are home. So there is double the value- enjoying the trip with Doug while you were there and remembering all that you experienced afterwards. Without Doug. I would not have enjoyed a fraction of what I was able to see and hear. Top guide, top notch guy.
