Tour description
Minneapolis is the larger of Minnesota's Twin Cities, a green and cultured metropolis built on the power of the Mississippi River, which once made it the flour-milling capital of the world. Rich in history, art and lakes, it is a delightful city to explore. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its heritage.
You will gather by the historic mill ruins, cross the famous Stone Arch Bridge, and hear about the milling boom that built the city. Along the way you will discover the riverfront, the arts scene and the culture of the North. Green and historic, Minneapolis is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
