Explore Minneapolis’s 9-mile skyway system with a local guide and discover downtown architecture in comfort, whatever the weather.
About this tour
Discover downtown Minneapolis through its remarkable skyway system, a year-round route through the city’s architectural landscape. Minneapolis Skyway Walking Tour takes you along elevated walkways that connect 80 city blocks and stretch for more than 9 miles, offering a comfortable way to explore in cold, heat, or rain.
With a local, Minnesota-born guide, learn how the skyways grew from efforts to revitalize downtown and its retail core. Along the way, take in city sights from indoors and out, and spot details that can be easy to miss from street level. The tour covers up to 2 miles at a relaxed pace, with breaks. On the afternoon tour, the route ends at the historic Minneapolis Club, which is not typically open to the public.
Meet your guide at the big “W” in the W Hotel lobby inside the Foshay Tower. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Book the Minneapolis Skyway Walking Tour for a distinctive look at the city, whatever the weather.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 63 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Minneapolis-Saint Paul
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.8. Top 4% in Minneapolis-Saint Paul means it ranks in the top 4% of tours in Minneapolis-Saint Paul by this score.
