Pros: there were fun drivers and few who spoke spanish (you have to have more drivers who speak a little spanish).. Cons: 1. that the drivers speak a little Spanish; 2 - includes the timetables. e e e e e e e e e e when the bus arrives late the orientation of the passage with the attention it deserves (bao groas), as we duly fixed stressed because we will arrive at the scheduled time of the passage, in chicago my bus arrived there at 3:45pm it arrived at 5:35pm pm out of control that I had a planned plan, the cancellations and the absurdity and the lack of respect for the passenger, my control bus was canceled for everything in the Washington afternoon, or everything that respected the time of the 07/09/2022, outside this trip was smooth ..(few people wearing masks inside the bus, many people coughing. Tips: buy travel times, more driver than fake spanish a littlE.

For a comprehensive introduction to the region's history, start your trip at the Minnesota History Center, just down the street from the grounds of the State Capitol building.

Saint Paul is also one of the country's best cities for craft beer, so save time to taste some local ales or even brew your own beer at Vine Park Brewing Co.
