Go on a classy pub crawl of Minneapolis

Hi! I'm John, and I run a humble little tour company called Depot. Depot Adventures started in 2016. The name came from my own experience travelling — when I first went overseas to Ireland, my future flatmate (who I had met) agreed to pick me up from the bus depot, and welcome me to my new home. She had taken the liberty of inviting all her friends over, where they played traditional Irish music and made me feels so welcome. I created this tour company to try and recreate this experience for any visitors to a new city. It's not my first rodeo — I've given tours for over 50,000 people in places like the Dalmatian Coast, Buckingham Palace and Route 66. I look forward to showing you the place I grew up.
