What People Are Saying About This Tour
“We had such a fantastic time on our walking tour with MSP Food Tours in Saint Paul! It was a beautiful day, the perfect amount of food at each stop, and just the right pace for enjoying the city on foot. Our guide shared fascinating stories about Saint Paul’s history and the restaurants we visited, which made the whole experience even more memorable.
Highly recommend this for anyone—especially locals looking for something fun to do with out-of-town guests. It’s the perfect mix of tasty, active, and genuinely interesting!”

I personally came for the history and stayed for the food-- but if you’re into food, history, or just looking for a fun new experience in St. Paul, I’d definitely recommend it! Looking forward to doing the Minneapolis tour in the future!”
