"Crooked" St. Paul Gangsters Private Riding Tour (2 hrs)
Overview
We'll connect at a location and hour convenient for you and step back in time during this private, 2-hour riding tour. You'll hear how St. Paul, Minnesota became a haven for the nation's most notorious gangsters, including John Dillinger, during the first decades of the 20th Century, and the impact of that legacy on life today in the "Saintly City. "
How could bank robbers and bootleggers run their crimes while "hiding in plain sight"? This private riding tour will show the homes, nightclubs, hangouts - and even the courthouse - where these professional thugs lived, planned, played and were prosecuted.
We'll also see other St. Paul highlights, including Summit Ave, cathedral and Capitol.
Private transportation is a professionally chauffeured "town car" sedan or Cadillac Escalade SUV.
Want to entertain locals or out-of-towners? Old enough to remember those lurid headlines or young enough to be amazed? Ready for a new twist on a town you thought you knew? This tour is for you.
