Jessica was great!! Super knowledgeable and fun. Very informative (and warm on a cold April day) Don’t miss Cardigan Donuts!

Jessica was a fantastic tour guide and the skyways were very cool to experience and learn more about the history. Lots of unique foodie places and shops along the way, though it looks like even more to come back. My daughter and I had a great time! We would never have thought you could see so much of Minneapolis via skyways.

Jeff_B

The tour gives a tremendous overview of downtown, the history of the skyway, various buildings, and other fun facts along the way, such as filming locations of TV shows. Jessica is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the tour and is a fantastic guide. I strongly recommend!

Jessica did a great job. We enjoyed the historic info and the public art was an unexpected bonus. She knows her stuff and the tour was perfectly paced.

Patty_N

We thought it would be more interesting to see the city’s skyways with a guide who could show us points of particular interest as well as talk about the city’s history, and Jessica did an excellent job with both. She was also great with communications prior to the tour.

Tristian_J

The most memorable part of our tour was our tour guide, Jessica. She was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. She gave us history of the Skywalk and the city. She is very personable and down to earth. We would definitely recommend to anyone who is curious about Minneapolis.

The guide was excellent and knowledgeable. We have a much better understanding of the skyway system and enjoyed learning about its history. Jessica introduced us to the art and architecture in the system, the light rail system, and Target stadium. We enjoyed it very much and got in a walk, too.

Monica A

This was such a GREAT tour of downtown Minneapolis on one of the coldest days of this winter. History, architecture, art and so much more. Jessica was such a delight and full of information. My husband and I have recently moved to Mpls from Los Angeles so thoroughly enjoyed learning about our new city in the comforts of the skyway system. We cannot wait to explore more on our own and visit some of the many restaurants. Whether you're a visitor, a new transplant or a native, I encourage you to take this tour--one of the finest!
