  I was only guest, several homeowners outside and talked with us. He was easy to talk with, and very enjoyable! I would encourage others to do the same!

  Our tour guide, Doug, went above and beyond for our tour. First of all, the fact that he was game to do an outdoor tour in February was so kind. At first I thought we might like to do the Skyway tour since we'd be mostly indoors but still fairly Covid-safe with our masks. Doug suggested that this wouldn't be the best tour as many of the shops and businesses were closed. He suggested the Summit Avenue tour instead and I'm so glad we got to see it. St. Paul is so lovely and you get the bonus of being right near the cathedral as well.

  Doug was a marvelous tour guide who provided our group with very interesting details about the Summit Ave homes & area we toured. He was also excellant at engaging our younger members & keeping them involved. Beautiful fall day & time well spent!

  Doug was very knowledgeable and had done his homework regarding the homes on and history of Summit Ave. We had a delightful late afternoon stroll that was filled with informative stories, architectural insights and interesting tidbits. Very conversational and relaxed but safe and socially distanced. Doug went above and beyond to make our trip to MSP enjoyable with recommendations of other places to visit and great restaurants to try. We would schedule another tour with Doug if we come back to the Twin Cities.

  This is an excellent tour to learn about historic architecture and local history. Doug was very kind, knowledgeable, and informative. We learned a lot about the historic homes along Summit Avenue and the surrounding area, as well as how the city of St. Paul was established. We highly recommend his service to anyone interested in a truly educational experience as it relates to the Twin Cities.

  I had family in town so I wanted to take a tour to learn a little more about the city. We picked this tour not only because we wanted to see the amazing mansions, but to learn about the history as well. Douglas was great. He knew a lot about the history of many of the houses and when they were built and the backgrounds of the families that lived there. We had a lot of questions and he was always happy to answer everything we asked. It was really cool to learn about the houses, especially because they have so much history and are very old structures. I learned a ton from the tour, and I definitely could've went longer than 2 hours (there are many more mansions on that street so I would recommend driving down summit ave. after you are done to see the rest.) Thanks Douglas, we really enjoyed the tour.

  Our guide David led us on a tour of the history of St. Paul, experienced through architecture. He’s knowledgeable, engaging, and thorough. We learned about various styles of architecture, met friendly people along the way, and really got a good feel for the area. Highly recommend!
