Customer Reviews
Jessica was an incredible tour guide. My mom, sister and I all found this tour incredibly insightful and interesting. It really brought the city of Minneapolis to life for us through learning about the city’s iconic skywalks. Additionally, Jessica messaged us prior to the tour and offered to help us get to our next destination after the tour. Her entire tour was very organized from start to finish, and she made an effort to highlight parts of the skywalks that she thought were particularly relevant to the interests of the guests that day. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who is in Minneapolis.
A city is best seen at eye level and with a native. Jessica is the person to guide you through the miles of interconnecting bridges known as the Minneapolis Skyway. Jessica was charming, knowledgeable, and lots of fun, indulging our quest for local donuts and all things Mary Tyler Moore, and showing us many new things along the way bringing the city to life. Who knew the Skyway is a repository for all means of public expression, from Native artisans to the glass master Chihuly? See Minneapolis the right way, see it with Jessica :-)
Jessica was a great tour host -- she's highly knowledgeable and gave us a great education about the city's history and modern development.
