Narrated Scenic Tour on the Minneapolis Trolley
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.

Tons of fun at the house and on the tour. Lots of great information. Overall great experience
This was super fun and well-worth it. We loved that the tour is run by a family and they are having fun with the whole thing. We loved our guide, who was super knowledgeable about the city. We definitely recommend.
Enjoyed the trolley tour! Full of facts, history, humor, and happenings in Minneapolis! Guide was fantastic and flexible as there were road closures. but he never got flustered. Rolled with the flow and showed his marvelous city and more!
We had such a wonderful time touring around the city in the beautiful trolley. Plus we got to see a beautiful historic mansion before we set off. We learned a lot about a city we’ve lived in our whole lives and absolutely loved our tour guide!!! Highly recommend to visitors and residents alike
This was a top-notch tour where you not only learned of the history of Minneapolis but also the culture and soul of the city. The tour guide was both entertaining and informative. I highly recommend.
Amazing hosts, very informative. House shop was fun and the trolly was interestingly decorated!!! Gave us a great impression of the city and its history.
Wonderful adventure, my husband learned things he did not know although born and raised here. Wish we had had time to do the haunted tour.
This tour was fun and informative. The Pillsbury Club staff were friendly and the food was delicious. You must try the cheese curds! They are the best I have ever had!
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.
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!
