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.
Very well done
