We enjoyed this tour very much. We were impressed with Jessica's knowledge and found the skyway system to be very interesting. Beautiful buildings too!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Janet! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and I so enjoyed our conversations in the skyway. I hope you enjoyed the last bit of your visit and are returning home with fond memories of Mpls! :)

Using the Skyway was intimidating to me before this tour! But Jessica made it totally doable for this senior woman! She used lovely old photos to place each stop on the tour in its historical context. She really does make a tour feel like you’re hanging out with a friend who just happens to be very knowledgeable about the city she loves!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
It was so lovely to meet you and to be a part of the connections you are making in the city! I'm so glad you are taking the time to really get to know Minneapolis and I hope you will get to call it home in the near future! Thank you!

My daughters and I had a great time. We wanted something to do before our flight left later that day. And, the tour was informative, fun, and right two (2) hours. The tour guide even texted us to make sure that we made our flight. :-)
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you, Dwight! It was my pleasure to meet you and your daughters. I think you did a great job of planning your time in Minneapolis and thank you for including my skyway tour! I was happy to hear you made it safe and sound, and on time to the gate! :) Smooth travels.
Kelly_P, Dec 2025
Jessica offered a detailed history of the city. I would definitely recommend a skywalk tour with Jessica.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you, Kelly! I hope the two of you had a great holiday in Minneapolis. So happy the Vikes won for you. :)

Jessica was personable and professional. She is a trove of knowledge about the honeycomb skyways of the city. She was particularly informative about the beautiful art and architecture we encountered. Definitely well worth doing. It is a great way to gain an insight into the city.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, James! So fun showing you two around the skyways. And, I love all the connections we made between our two cities. Philly is on my list and I hope to visit sooner rather than later!

Thank you, Loree, for joining me! And, I hope this is a first of many girl trips you and Jeanie will take together!
Michael_D, Apr 2025
This was a great walking tour showing the skyways, artwork and buildings in Minneapolis. I would definitely recommend taking this tour if you havent been to Minneapolis before.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you for taking the time to write, Michael! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay, and the Timberwolves game! They're on a roll! :)
Richard_M, Feb 2025
Outstanding. The amount of detail about history and the amazing art along the way was excellent. I was truly amazed that there 9.5 miles of indoor skyway in Minneapolis. Jessica was truly excited to share her city. Thank you.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Hi Richard! Thank you for joining me on a very cold MN morning. It was my pleasure to walk and talk through the skyways with you. We didn't quite cover 9.5 miles, so you'll just have to come back. :)
Jack_B, Jan 2025
This was a very fun tour of a part of the city I never knew existed. Highly recommended! The pace was easy, and it was really interesting learning about the skyway and buildings through which we transited.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
I love a new intro to the skyways! So glad to know you enjoyed the tour and that you felt like you learned a few things along the way. Thank you so much for joining me!
JoanneR_S, Oct 2024
I enjoyed immensely my Skyway tour with Jessica. She was so knowledgeable and showed us before pictures so we could compare now and then. I would highly recommend the Skyway tour with Jessica.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you, Joanne! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and, hopefully, the rest of your visit to Minneapolis. Maybe you even showed your daughter an interesting thing or two in the skyway after her conference! :)
Christina_H, Oct 2024
Jessica was extremely knowledgeable and quite obviously loves her hometown. It was great to do this tour early on in my visit, I now feel comfortable navigating the skyways.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you, Christina! We were a small but compatible group! :) I hope you have been able to show off your navigation skills, and found some good food along the way!
Sharon_W, Oct 2024
I loved seeing all the beautiful interiors of the buildings in downtown Minneapolis. Using the skywalks to get around showed us so many hidden treasures we would have never seen. Jessica answered all our questions. She's an incredible tour guide.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you, both! I enjoyed all your questions and the fun conversation. :) And I very much appreciated your genuine interest in the city. We had a great, little group!

YOU two were fun. Thank you for making the morning so enjoyable. :) Once you knock off those last few States, please come back. Lots more to see and do. :)
Annemarie_L, Aug 2024
Jessica was a great tour guide & very knowledgeable. She used her iPad to show us additional information which was a nice touch. Would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you, Annemarie! So nice to meet you and your family, and to introduce you to the skyway. Hope you are enjoying the remainder of your extended stay in MN!

Thank you both for joining me! I so enjoyed all of the easy-going conversation within our group. It was a fun morning. :)
Adolph_G, Jul 2024
This tour is an absolute must. I learned the Skyway system from Jessica so I could navigate between buildings. Easy to get to shops n restaurants without street noise n traffic.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you, Adolph! You two certainly made the most of your time in Minneapolis! So fun to have a second chance to meet up and chat. It was a pleasure. :)
Andrea_E, Jun 2024
We had a wonderful time exploring this unique aspect of downtown Minneapolis, which had so much more art, architecture and beauty than could be seen from street level. Jessica was the perfect tour guide - personable and knowledgeable without the kitsch or performance feel some tour guides sometimes rely upon. Like getting to go for a really cool walk with that fun, smart friend.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Awwwww, thank you, Andrea! When someone feels like a friend on my tour, that's the highest of compliments! Honestly. :)
Michael_L, Jun 2024
Our tour with Jessica was outstanding. Her knowledge of the Minneapolis skyways was first rate. She walked us through the various interconnected buildings, stopping along the way to point out places of interest and sharing the buildings history. She also shared photos on her tablet of how things looked during previous decades. The tour was well paced and we experienced a short ride on the light rail system.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Wow, thank you, Michael! I'm so happy you enjoyed the things I shared on the tour. It's always a treat for me to have equally interested visitors! :)
Nancy_H, Jun 2024
The tour was great! Jessica was very knowledgeable and had many interesting tidbits to share along the way. She was very personable and had a real interest in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend the tour.

Phillip_S, Apr 2024
Jessica was great!! Super knowledgeable and fun. Very informative (and warm on a cold April day) Don’t miss Cardigan Donuts!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for your message, Phil! Donut lovers unite! I'll let you know when I visit Detroit, I know you two will give me directions to the best bits. :)
Jeff_B, Nov 2023
The tour gives a tremendous overview of downtown, the history of the skyway, various buildings, and other fun facts along the way, such as filming locations of TV shows. Jessica is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the tour and is a fantastic guide. I strongly recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hi Jeff! Thank you for this kind review. I enjoyed showing you the city from the second story. I think the Timberwolves won that game you came to see?! Maybe you'll return for some summer weather this year. :)
Patty_N, Aug 2023
We thought it would be more interesting to see the city’s skyways with a guide who could show us points of particular interest as well as talk about the city’s history, and Jessica did an excellent job with both. She was also great with communications prior to the tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hi Patty! Thank you two for joining me in the skyways. It was my pleasure! It makes me happy to know people enjoy Minneapolis so much that they return. :)
Tristian_J, May 2023
The most memorable part of our tour was our tour guide, Jessica. She was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. She gave us history of the Skywalk and the city. She is very personable and down to earth. We would definitely recommend to anyone who is curious about Minneapolis.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you, Tristian! It was my pleasure. And I sincerely hope that Minneapolis will be lucky enough to have you two as new residents in the near future! Safe and smooth travels. :)
Monique_B, Jun 2025
Jessica was a very attentive guide. We had the chance to tour only with the guide. Very friendly that the tour was not cancelled due to lack of tourists
