John was a fantastic tour guide, we follow his social media and had to try out a walking tour. Today we did the three hour Minneapolis walking tour, learned a lot about the city we live by and had a great time.

I joined John for a 3 hour walking tour of Minneapolis and it was great! Learned a lot of history, tied into current events and projects in the works. John is very knowledgeable and a comforting conversationalist. The 3 hours flew by and ended at a perfect lunch spot. Thanks John!

John is an excellent tour guide! My wife and I went on the "Booze Makes Minneapolis History Better" walking tour. He got to know us and asked us if we had preferences or special accommodations because he really wanted to give us the best experience possible. We were game for anything so he started us at Modest Brewing company where we had some wonderful Imperial Stouts. Our next stop was Cobble Social House where the bartenders made some immaculate concoctions. The third stop was Nicollet Island Inn where the bartenders were informative and the bourbon selection was huge. The final stop was at Berlin for live jazz and more excellent cocktails. We had a lot of walking between stops (which we specifically told him we wanted a long walk) and he filled us in on history, fun facts, and current happenings. I do not imagine any two tours would be the same as he really customized it on the spot. John is very informative and we will definitely take this tour again. I cannot recommend it enough!
