    Exceptional experience. ...

    Exceptional experience. Lots to learn about St. Paul’s history in the most fun way. Luke was very impressive.

    Fun, entertaining, and educational

    Luke was our guide for both the cave tour and the "in character" guide for the gangster tour and he did an amazing job. We learned a lot, and had fun at the same time. The cave tour isn't your standard cave tour. If you are looking for crystals or stalagmites/stalactites then you will be pleasantly surprised that you will not see either. The history of why there is a cave and what all happened within the cave was amazing and very worth doing this tour. Luke then was our in-character guide for the gangster tour. The history of crime in St Paul was interesting and unexpected. The media has portrayed the Prohibition era crime as being in Chicago and New York, but I've never heard of St. Paul as being a hub for organized crime. I would recommend both tours equally. The cave tour is a little bit shorter than the gangster tour, so if you don't have time to do both you can do one or the other if you're in the area but doing both I think is worth it Also, for those that are interested, there is plenty of parking there so you don't necessarily have to Uber

    Great Tours of St Paul!

    We had a great time on the cave and gangster tours! A lot of interesting facts are presented. The cave rooms are maintained as they were when used as speakeasies and clubs at the time of prohibition or following prohibition. I did think the cave tour would be more of a walking tour exploring the caves, but that was minimal, however. Our guide on the Gangster tour had an amazing amount of gangster history and details of St Paul and the prohibition Era. I recommend the tours to anyone living or visiting the St Paul area!

    Very interesting and informative

    The gangster tour does not stop at any locations. On the bus for two hours Bus was very comfortable xxx

    Wonderful guides… Wonderful tour… Just one hour too long.

    The Cave tour and the guide were absolutely fabulous. Enjoyable in every way. The gangster tour on the bus had us on a beautiful air condition bus with a restroom. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. However, we feel the tour would have been much better had it been one hour long instead of two and the script for the guide reduced to fit in that amount of time. It was too much information and too long a time with not that many sites to see. It could be condensed into one hour, and it would be an exceptionally wonderful tour where we would want to bring friends back. Based on the fact that it was two hours, we would hesitate to bring friends on the bus tour. We would certainly bring them for the cave tour.

    Same-Day Tour Package (Historic Cave Tour & Saint Paul Gangster Tour): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Minneapolis-Saint Paul.

    How much does Same-Day Tour Package (Historic Cave Tour & Saint Paul Gangster Tour) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 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 Same-Day Tour Package (Historic Cave Tour & Saint Paul Gangster Tour) take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Same-Day Tour Package (Historic Cave Tour & Saint Paul Gangster Tour) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 25 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 Same-Day Tour Package (Historic Cave Tour & 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 Same-Day Tour Package (Historic Cave Tour & Saint Paul Gangster Tour) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Same-Day Tour Package (Historic Cave Tour & Saint Paul Gangster Tour)?

    +

    Around 9 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Same-Day Tour Package (Historic Cave Tour & 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.
