1.00This company had canceled trolley without noifty the costumer. I was not aware of the cancellation. The Viator app continues to notify me the trip is plan and continue to update with plan accordingly to the event.. The trolley company had canceled the event with the Viator app without notification theirs customers. I had to called the company to be informed that the event was canceled. But no one knew about the event. The Corvette museum is unaware of this event. There was no communication with trolley company and the museum. Don’t waste your money and unorganized and very confusing people can’t give correct information

5.00The trolley tour of Bowling Green was enjoyable. It was inexpensive and covered interesting history and sites. The guide was great. She had previously been employed at the Corvette Museum which enhanced her knowledge of Corvettes and the museum. Well worth the money and time!

4.00Tour guide excellent! Unfortunately we were near the end of the line to get on the trolly. Sat in the back. View obstructed by tv that ran advertisements the whole tour and the short window viewing area due to seats be elevated in the back.
