My husband and I came to St Paul for an anniversary trip, and discovered the cave tour. We decided to add the gangster tour to out ticket, and extend the fun, and we were certainly glad we did! This delightful bus tour took us to the sites of much nefarious gangster activity, so we could see the places we were learning the history of. Our costumed tour guide was Lois, who kept us enthralled with sordid tales of of the dark doings of some of the most notorious criminals to ever visit St Paul. We learned that at one time, gangsters were actually invited to come to visit St Paul, whenever they liked! (take the tour to find out why--it's fascinating!). We really enjoyed Lois' storytelling, and learning about the darker side of St Paul's history. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the cities.
What a super fun experience! Our tour guide for the caves (Josh), as well as the tour guide for the bus tour (Lois) were animated, full of information, and played their parts well! Appreciated the sit breaks since I have issues with my knees!
The tour guide, Ellie , aka ‘Lipstick’ was one of the worst tour guides I have ever experienced on a tour bus. First of all, she talked about herself more than the gangsters. She thought she was hilarious and she was not one bit funny. She talked about getting a bad review from someone because she was , too, in her words, ‘salacious’. My 12 year old grandson was on this bus. Her clothing was most definitely inappropriate. I would like to mention I’ve been in this tour before and it was fabulous. It was a few years ago. I encouraged my family , 5 of us, to go in this tour because of the first experience I had. I would recommend the tour to anyone from past experience but after today I would avoid ‘lipsticks’ bus at all costs. I feel she ruined the tour for all of us.
Great tour. Our guide was so fun and informative. Jeff, the bus driver was amazing in getting the bus around construction in narrow streets in St. Paul. I took my hearing aids out as the speaker system was quite loud. Unfortunately, I lost one some place during the tour. Jeff and managers were terrific in helping. They called me a couple times to update my on their search. It was my fault that I was not careful enough, but they showed such concern, and that is not common in today's world.
Loved the outlaw tour! The guides were fantastic, funny and informative! Edward was great sharing stories with us throughout the caves and “John Dillinger” on the bus tour was funny and kind! (Also the bus was roomy and comfortable)

Step into the Roaring Twenties and explore St. Paul's notorious gangster history on an immersive bus tour!
