Minneapolis has more history than it lets on — flour mills, river power and a skyline’s worth of reinvention — and this walking tour is how you hear it all from the people who know it best. Minneapolis Past and Present is led by knowledgeable local experts and rated 4.96 stars by its 55 guests.



The storytelling stretches from the pre-statehood era to modern times, with the fascinating, often overlooked chapters front and center: how a waterfall on the Mississippi built a milling empire, how neighborhoods rose and reinvented themselves, and how the city’s culture evolved into the creative capital of the Upper Midwest.
It is an easygoing walk at a storyteller’s pace, perfect as the first thing you do in town — everything you see afterwards makes more sense. From $64.99 per person.
