Mariah's Irish heritage has piqued her interest in St. Paul's Irish roots and heritage. Her tour will walk you through the impetus behind the Irish migration to St. Paul in the late 1800s and the role of the Catholic church. Be entertained by Celtic dancers and wear comfortable shoes for a private Irish dance lesson. After the lesson at a popular pub, enjoy a Guinness and a sampling of Irish food, which adds up to a full meal. Finally, taste authentic Irish whiskey. Distilleries, once plentiful in Ireland, have dwindled to only four distilleries. However, we will let you taste the real deal thanks to friends in the business.
Erik's Minnesota Adventures is an innovative program for young adults with autism. As experience guides, they will lead volunteers on tours, providing an opportunity for them to share their unique talents and expertise in specific areas within the arts, history, sports, environment – whatever their passion.
Each tour in the Twin Cities metro invites six to 30 volunteers to participate in adventures, such as accompanying a skilled equestrian to the racetrack for a private session with a jockey or learning about St. Paul's architecture from a young man with a photographic memory.
