So much insight!
We visited St Paul on a very cold January weekend with another couple and decided to do the skyway tour with Kim. We saw so many things we’d totally miss on our own and Kim pointed out many architectural and historical facts about the city she loves that we all fell in love with it too. It left us wanting to return to explore and spend more time at the gems of St Paul. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and Kim’s expertise of her city!

Great Introduction to Saint Paul
This was a great tour and Kim was an amazing tour guide! We had some great food, and Kim was very knowledgable about both St. Paul/Minneapolis history and about current happenings around the cities. We left the tour with a long mental list of places and events to explore and other foods to try around town.
Response from the operator: Wow! Thank you so much for the review! Your kind words mean the world to us! We're thrilled you enjoyed the experience and we hope to see you again soon!

St. Paul Skywalk Tasting Success
Just completed the St. Paul skywalk food tour & had a wonderful time. There is a healthy dose of St. Paul history included in the tour. The stops along the way had a nice variety of types of food (chocolate, Thai, Somali, Candy, & Beer!). Our family had a great time & would recommend to visiting adults looking for something different to do!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the tastings and Kim's history along the way. We always love when families join us as a way to share an experience. We hope to see you again soon!

Fun and informative
My friend and I booked this tour looking for something different to do. I’m so glad we did this. We had great food, drinks, scenery, and atmosphere. Special shout out to our guide, Kim, for making our day special!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted you enjoyed the Heart of St Paul Food Tour! And you couldn't beat the weather for a great day to see the city. We'll be sure to pass along your gratitude to Kim; we think she's awesome too. We hope to see you again sometime - maybe on our Minneapolis Riverwalk Food Tour for an opportunity to taste the other twin city! :)

St Paul Skyway Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Minneapolis-Saint Paul.
How much does St Paul Skyway Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $92 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 St Paul Skyway Food 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 St Paul Skyway Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule St Paul Skyway Food 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 St Paul Skyway Food 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 St Paul Skyway Food Tour?
+
Around 4 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 St Paul Skyway Food 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, Minneapolis Skyway Walking 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.
What is included in St Paul Skyway Food Tour?
+
Included: Professional local guide; Stroll through the most historic areas in St Paul, including Rice Park and the Landmark Ce; Generous tastings of local multicultural foods and a refreshing craft beer; and Small group tour that includes all taxes, fees, and handling charges. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for St Paul Skyway Food Tour?
+
Union Depot, outside of main front door on 4th St side (NOT Kellogg) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is St Paul Skyway Food Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for St Paul Skyway Food Tour?
+

+

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
