Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Can I bring my 8-year-old?

A: Yes, you can bring your 8-year-old! The tour is designed for kids 8 and up, so they'll be able to enjoy the stories and the bus ride. Just keep in mind that the content may reference some adult themes from the Prohibition era, but it's mostly historical and humorous. It should be a fun experience for both of you!

Q: Does the tour get cancelled if it rains? What's the backup plan?

A: The tour runs rain or shine since you're on a bus for most of it! They do have a weather policy, and if there’s severe weather, they will notify you about rescheduling. So you should be good either way – just dress appropriately for the weather!

Q: How's the parking situation at the Castle Royal? Is it easy to find?

A: Parking is pretty decent at the Wabasha Street Caves! There’s a lot nearby that often has spots available. Just get there a bit early to snag a good one. Also, consider carpooling since it can get busy on weekends!

Just went on the Saint Paul Gangster Tour—what a blast!

I took the Saint Paul Gangster Tour last weekend and it was an awesome experience! The guide was hilarious and really brought the history to life. We started at the Wabasha Street Caves, which felt super cool and historical. The two hours flew by! I was surprised how engaging the stories were, especially about the infamous gangsters of the Prohibition era. Definitely worth the $35 ticket for the whole family! Has anyone else tried it?

Planning to gift the Gangster Tour! Any tips?

I’m thinking about giving my dad the Saint Paul Gangster Tour for his birthday. He loves history and crime stories, plus it’s local. I’m curious if anyone knows what the bus is like—comfortable enough for older folks? Also, how’s the overall vibe—good for a laid-back kind of day?
