Q&A

Q: Is there a specific age limit for this audio tour? Can kids join?

A: There's no strict age limit for the tour, so kids can definitely join! It's pretty family-friendly, but keep in mind that some of the historical context might be a bit over younger kids' heads. If they're fans of Prince or music in general, they’ll probably enjoy it. Just make sure they have headphones to enjoy the audio!

Q: What should I wear for the tour? Is it all outdoor walking?

A: It's primarily an outdoor walking tour, so comfy shoes are a must! Dressing in layers is a good idea since Minneapolis weather can change pretty quickly. A light jacket or hoodie is great for cooler mornings or evenings. And don’t forget your headphones—those are key for the audio experience!

Q: What happens if it rains? Is there a cancellation policy?

A: Great question! Since it's a self-guided tour, you can choose to do it whenever you want, even if it rains. The app works offline, so you can plan around the weather. If it’s really bad and you want to reschedule, you might want to check with the provider, but usually, you can just pick another day. No formal cancellation policy since it’s flexible!

Thinking about gifting the Prince audio tour—any feedback?

I’m considering getting the 'In the Footsteps of Prince' audio tour for my dad’s birthday. He loves Prince and has lived in Minneapolis for years. I’m just wondering if anyone’s done it and what the experience is like? Is it easy to navigate with the app? Any must-see stops?

Just did the Prince walking tour in Minneapolis!

OMG, what a cool experience! I just did the 'In the Footsteps of Prince' tour, and it was amazing! The storytelling is top-notch, and I loved learning about his early days. The GPS feature was super helpful too. I went with a friend, and we spent over 2 hours because we kept stopping to take pics. Totally worth it!
