MPLS From The Start

Tour Guide Tim started exploring his home town of MPLS as a youngster, by foot, bike, and city bus. He hasn't stopped since! And while he's lived in different places and explored the world, he always comes back to where his heart is - The City of Lakes.  When you hire Tim to see the Hidden MPLS, you get someone who knows more than just the sites. You get his knowledge, skills, and diverse background, mixed with humor and fun storytelling. So whatever areas of interest you'd like to explore, you'll see the most hidden and undiscovered aspects of MPLS!
