EXCELLENT 343 reviewsPosted on Hannah GuimontTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a fun experience and the tour guide was so sweet, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend - especially for locals! I learned a lot about the city I've lived in my whole life.Posted on Bridget FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend and I went on the 7pm ghost tour. Our tour guide, Cole, was great and we had a lot of fun learning about some of the haunted history of Minneapolis. We even got to go out and explore a couple places on the tour which was a nice surprise. The trolley was nice but it was hot outside and although it felt like there there was air blowing inside I don’t think it was air conditioned -some extra fans inside the trolley might be helpful to cool things down. We stayed for the Gertrude’s After Hours tour and felt like it was worth the extra cost. Very nice staff and I am looking forward to taking other tours in the future!Posted on Aimee Winder NewtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a great trolley tour. A little pricey, but our group felt like it was worth it. The driver/guide was absolutely phenomenal and we learned a lot about Minneapolis.Posted on Eve RowlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved the scenic trolley tour so much - learned so much about Minneapolis and saw some beautiful sights! The host was fantastic, I was smiling like it was Christmas Day!Posted on Jason HusbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tremendous way to spend a few hours. There's plenty of free street parking, the check in is easy, the waiting area has tons of cool, free stuff to do to keep you occupied (pool, arcade game, pinball, board games), and this is all the good stuff before the trolley tour. This was my second time going on one (true crime this time, the candlelight ghost before) and I know there will be a third. The tour guide knows a mind blowing amount of information about events around information BY HEART. That he's telling you all this engaging information while driving the trolley only adds to the impressiveness of it. I cannot recommend this enough.Posted on Tim ChojnackiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a great experience. Our tour guide was funny, energetic, entertaining and very knowledgeable. Our party’s ages ranged from 16-91 and there was something for everyone. There is also a surprisingly fun waiting area to hang out in before boarding the trolley. Loved it!Posted on Jenell CunninghamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
