Description

Get ready for an unforgettable ride through the heart of Minneapolis aboard our charming vintage trolley! This isn’t just a tour—it’s a front-row seat to the jaw-dropping history, breathtaking vistas, and river-powered energy that turned a rugged frontier town into one of the most dynamic cities in the country. You’ll roll past soaring skyline views, iconic landmarks, and hidden gems as we explore the five original Districts that joined forces in the early 1900s to create the bold, bustling Minneapolis we know and love today. From the mill-powered might of the Mississippi Riverfront to the swanky theaters of Downtown, every district has its own story—and you’ll hear them all. This is more than just sightseeing—it’s time travel with a twist of adventure, a dash of drama, and a whole lot of Midwestern charm. Whether you're a history buff, a selfie snapper, or just here for a good time, the Minneapolis Trolley Tour is your ticket to the soul of the city.

Minneapolis Trolley Tour

Our driver/guide was delightful. We live near Minneapolis and never knew most of what he shared. We highly recommend this tour. We had cheese curds and a burger/homemade chips before. We give the highest marks for the food and service, too.

Mpls at its finest!

Was greeted warmly as we entered the Pillsbury Club. Surroundings were awesome. They had a very eclectic variety of gifts and mementos mostly made by Minnesota artisans. The trolley driver/tour leader was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about Minnesota and Minneapolis in particular. I’m a retired teacher and taught Minnesota history for a number of years, so it was nice to relive those memories. Thank you for a great Sunday morning!
