St. Peter St. Paul Walking Tour

A colorful walking tour led by the lovable know-it-all, Sr. Celeste. Learn how St. Paul went from its reputation as a Dead Tough Town to being the historically vital Capitol City it is today.

Sr. Celeste explains “What was and is and shall be” as she wends her way from the beautiful Celeste of St. Paul: Hotel + Bar (her former convent home) and travels along the length of St. Peter Street.

The tour ends at the Hotel Bar where you are invited to enjoy a cozy drink near the fireplace. Drink comes with the price of the tour! Includes a chance to win your very own glow-in-the-dark rosary with a pop quiz at the end of the tour.
