What a fun way to see...
What a fun way to see Minneapolis and learn about it's crime history too! The Pillsbury Mansion was a cute place to grab a bite to eat and a drink to sip before your trolley tour! Most of the tour takes place on the trolley. We made 1 stop where we got off and it wad completely optional. The stories were interesting and the hospitality was great!

Our tour was very detailed and interesting! We loved how interactive it was! The trolley and mansion were beautifully decorated and tied everything together! We highly recommend supporting this family business!

9 out of 10 stars
Expect to be thrilled. Our host was very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging; which made the whole 2 hour experience feel so short. And the tour around the city was phenomenal. I highly recommend this one.

I learned a lot!
A friend and I decided to give this a try! We arrived about an hour early, had lunch, browsed the gift shop and then boarded the tour. Our guide was awesome! He was high energy and interactive with the group. I think we all leanred a lot about historical crime in the city. I am a native Minnesotan and had familiarity with only one of the cases presented. The trolley was comfortable and climate controlled (i.e. air conditioned). They host other types of tours too - historical Minneapolis, Ghost Tours and a series on Mansions. I will definitely be back for other tours. The tour started promptly at 2:15, we returned at about 3:25. We were well cared for during the entire visit. A local family owes the business and I could tell they are really passionate about their business and want every person to have a great experience!

Be prepared for chilly...
Be prepared for chilly weather as it’s an open trolley! The trolley makes a few stops so be prepared to get on and off! Very fun and interactive!

Unexpected Gem
This was an unexpected discovery and a fun family outing. The teenagers enjoyed it just as much as the adults. We learned a lot! Highly recommend!
