Terrific tour with tons...

Terrific tour with tons of historical and contemporary observations about the impact of Minnesota’s unique water resources. Seeing St. Anthony Falls and understanding it’s impact on Twin Cities economic and cultural development was a wonderful new insight for our family who recently moved here from the East Coast.
Response from Host , Sep 2021
Thank you! Meeting your family was fun and your smart-n-savvy twins are sharp - it was refreshing to understand the area's historical and cultural impacts through their teenage eyes. I'm sure their birthday this week was fun and their return to school exciting. A big week! Looking forward to guiding more local tours with you.
Informative and fun

Excellent job!

We were very pleased with Doug K as our walking tour guide on the Historic Trail in Minneapolis. He was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. He listened to what we wanted and tailored the tour to our interests. Highly recommend him.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
