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.
Secrets of Minneapolis
Minneapolis Through the Eyes of Lisa Goodman
Step inside the stories you were never meant to hear. This rare, behind-the-scenes trolley tour is hosted by former City Council President Lisa Goodman, the longest-serving City Council member in Minneapolis history. With decades at the center of power, Goodman offers unprecedented insider access to the real backstories behind the decisions, debates, and turning points that shaped Minneapolis into the city it is today.
As you ride through the streets where history was made, you’ll hear candid, riveting accounts of pivotal moments—what really happened behind closed doors, who pulled the strings, and how choices made years ago still ripple through the city today. This is Minneapolis as you’ve never experienced it before: personal, revealing, and told by someone who lived it.
Seats are limited, and experiences like this don’t come around often. If you love this city—or want to understand it on a deeper level—you will not want to miss this tour.
