It’s a family run business and the tour guide was so friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. We did this on our first day and learnt so much about the city we wouldn’t have otherwise. It was a great way to get a feel for the city. Gloria Jahnel2025-05-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

After checking in, we got to play games in a waiting room filled with arcade games, board games, a pool table, and even an antique car. The trolley ride was very clean and unique, with an open air feel. Our narrator was extremely sweet and knowledgeable about the city. If you’re looking to see what Minneapolis has to offer, with a few laughs along the way, take this trolley!
