I wanted to buy a gift certificate for my kids and ran into this, "By providing your card information, you allow Rebecca to charge your card for futures payments in accordance with their terms." See highlighted text in the photo. They don't even tell you what the terms are that you are agreeing to when you authorized future payments. It all felt VERY scam oriented to me and I did not use my card. I am giving the recipients a Visa gift card for the amount of the tour instead.

I was so delighted that all of our stops were delicious and I look forward to going back to each of the restaurants. I had a food tour with another company (Taste..) the next day and today and while it was okay......... Your food tour was absolutely amazing informative, local, delicious, unique, and I am absolutely so glad that I went!! The guides were super easy to connect with and soo knowledgeable about the restaurants and the history of the area. A really special treat. Had I only gone out the other tour I would have missed out on what a fabulous food destination Minneapolis is. Thank you! Ps I will be sure to share this on yelp trip advisor and with anyone I know going to Minneapolis.

He had a great attitude, made sure we had a good time, and kept us safe-especially since there was a Twins game on the day of our adventure. I loved that this was BYO. We were able to make sure there was something for everyone. Although, they have a tap on the "bike" so you can bring a keg if that's your jam. I definitely recommend this as a cool activity.

Double check their hours on the Meet Minneapolis Visitor Center web page as the ones listed on Yelp…read moredid not seem accurate, at least when we visited in June 2024. On their web site they are listed as Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. (NOTE: Closed Sunday and Monday). As tourists staying in M'polis for a week we tried to visit this visitor center twice, but it was closed. The third time was a charm, but that was already halfway through our trip. It would have been nice to have been able to visit at the beginning of our stay when we needed information. We also found their 10-4 hours a little inconvenient as we like to get up and out early while on vacation. Besides that, the staff were very friendly and the store/info center is nicely appointed, if a little sparse. They do sell postcards if you're looking for some. Located near the Nicollet Metro station.

They sell souvenirs - including some from local artists. But the tourist information with maps of the metro, downtown, and tour info was what I needed. Thanks to the helpful staff, I learned about a Twin City Highlights bus tour that I'll take tomorrow. I loved the accents of the staff too! (I have a strong Boston accent.)

It was a Saturday and no one was in the office and the owners are not listed on the website, plus NO phone number on the website. Finally I saw a worker loading a van and told him and he responded immediately texting the owner. They were full that night and couldn't put me in another room and offered to find a local hotel (which later they reneged on); the worker said they did call for inspection and said repeatedly they would reimburse my stay for the inconvenience. It was annoying not to have any communication with the owner and only when I got home on Sunday did they email to say there was nothing (who knows if that is true) and no mention of a refund. Very disappointed.

The staff were extremely nice and accommodating. I had help bringing my bags upstairs to our room, they walked us through everything and offered help any time we needed it. We reserved the haunted movie lounge, which was a very unique experience. The hot tub was excellent and very peaceful. It rained while we were in the hot tub but it was covered very well and only elevated the experience! The koi pond is so beautiful and relaxing, and we loved enjoying the entire property. Highly recommend staying here! Also, don't forget to book a trolly tour! Such a unique experience, and the tour guide has such a fun personality it was incredible!! 10/10 Would stay again and again!

This was so disappointing. From the website and other reviews, it looks like the tour is supposed…read moreto take you inside buildings, feature interestingly dressed guides who get into character, are accompanied by a Medium, etc. We had none of that. Our tour just walked us up and down a stretch of Main Street by Stone Arch Bridge. We stayed outside the whole time (no creepy basements like we'd been promised) and didn't even make it over to the Mill Ruins on the other side of the river. The ghost hunting equipment was extremely chintzy, but that didn't bother me as much as just the way the tour felt surfacey and low-effort. The stories told were interesting, but there weren't that many of them and they were not very detailed or in-depth. Some tours I've been on, including a ghost tour, included 2-3x as many stories and facts, and they were also a lot more detailed. Our guide was very nice, fun, and did tell some interesting morbid history about NE Minneapolis, and I don't intend this review to reflect on them so I am not using their name. I'm sure they were just doing what the company tells them to do; the problem is with the company's design of the tour. Overall this tour was not worth the time or money, at least not the experience we were given.

My husband and I always do a ghost tour of some sort in each town we are in. We have been on many…read moretours in different cities. The first thing that upset me about this was it was scheduled for 8pm. We arrived at 7:30 and they weren't even open. At 8pm they opened the door only to explain they had left me a message that the tour would be at 9pm instead of 8pm. I never received that message! So we find ourselves with an hour to kill until the tour starts. I don't think Mike and I ever really determined why it was haunted as there are only 2 true large areas to visit inside. We compared notes later and neither seemed to remember why. I have no doubt there is something there, being believers, but needed more history explained, and of course for them to have contacted me directly when the time changed.
