Winter Spectacular
Limited Edition tours that are new, unique, and fun!
Our special winter tours are limited-edition experiences designed exclusively for locals. These routes explore new neighborhoods, stories, and sights not featured on our regular tours. With a smaller number of departures and carefully curated content, each tour is intentionally rare—once the season ends, these experiences won’t return. If you’re looking for something truly different, this is your chance to ride along.
MURDER MYSTERY
hop on the case of the missing jewels
What begins as a glamorous hunt for a notorious jewel thief quickly takes a deadly turn. You’re invited to an exclusive cocktail party for the rich and powerful at the iconic Pillsbury Mansion, where champagne flows, secrets simmer, and everyone has something to hide. Then—murder strikes.
Step into the glitz and danger of the Roaring Twenties, where every guest is a suspect and trust is a luxury no one can afford. Dressed in your finest Great Gatsby–era attire, you’ll enjoy included cocktails and appetizers as the mystery unfolds across a thrilling trolley ride through the city. Clues surface, alliances form, accusations fly—and it’s up to you to piece together the truth before the killer slips away… or strikes again.
This is not just a show—you’re part of the story. Use your wits, read between the lines, and survive the night in this interactive trolley-based murder mystery where glamour meets suspense and no one is innocent.
