    Needs More History

    Carol_B, Sep 2025
    We were expecting more history of the Twin Cities along the Mississippi and less stories of the author's canoe trips

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Hi there, I'm sorry that the content wasn't as informative as you hoped. The tour is part of a two-part loop along the Mississippi. The River Walk tour has a bit more about the historic mills, in case you get a chance to come back. Thank you for your honest feedback, as this helps us ensure that tour content remains valuable and that improvements can be made over time. Best, Helene

    Requires an app to be downloaded, which wasn’t difficult at all. And the app worked great. Impressive how it marries to GPS to know exactly when to continue the narrative. Definitely download the app in advance. This particular tour was good, but a bit limited and spent too much time with the narrator reflecting upon his personal experiences. I would have preferred more history.
