Informative but too long
Tour was a bit too long, hard to sit and listen for over 2 hours no matter how interesting
via Tripadvisor
The history teller talked...
The history teller talked non stop for 2.5 hours with a minimum interaction with the listeners. For he was super bored.

via Tripadvisor
Best 2 hour experience of St Paul.
We 4 LOVED the 2:30 bus tour. Our gangster guide was phenomenal. He talked for 2 straight hours. Our gangster was very entertaining, great humor, engaged with the audience and taught us a lot. We would highly recommend this hidden gem of a tour!! A must do in St Paul!!!

Ma Parker would be proud!
Wonderful! The guide was fantastic in giving life to the interesting darker side of St. Paul ‘s history. Staying in character she captured the essence of the gangster days. As the bus weaved it’s way through the streets of the capital city she coordinated each location with informative narration giving life to the sordid history of the capital city gangster era.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Saint Paul Gangster Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Minneapolis-Saint Paul.
How much does Saint Paul Gangster Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Minneapolis-Saint Paul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Saint Paul Gangster Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Minneapolis-Saint Paul is not rushed.
Is Saint Paul Gangster Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 61 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Saint Paul Gangster Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Saint Paul Gangster Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Saint Paul Gangster Tour?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Minneapolis-Saint Paul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Minneapolis-Saint Paul and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Saint Paul Gangster Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Minneapolis-Saint Paul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
+
The Twin Cities cover Mississippi mill district history, chain of lakes bike and paddle tours, Mall of America trips, brewery crawls in Northeast and winter ice experiences. Seasonal swing is extreme, so honest weather guidance matters. On Outty we rank every Minneapolis-Saint Paul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at the Mall of America, Narrated Scenic Tour on the Minneapolis Trolley, St. Paul Historic Cave Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
+
June to September, with winter activities from December to February. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
