5.00We throughly enjoyed our Derailed Adventure - Chattanooga Trolly & Train Combo Tour with our guide Craig! We live in the Chattanooga area and our grandson loves trains so we decided to take this trip to see what he could learn. There was a lot of Chattanooga history shared that solidified understanding for both of our teen grandchildren. We loved the stop at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum where we visited the local model train club models on display (one Saturday per month), took the Missionary Ridge Train Ride from the Grand Junction station, watched the train turntable at the "end of the line," and visited the "back shop" (repair shop for the engines), then returned to the station. We went to the "Exhibit Building" to view memorbilia from the railway era. All was included in the price of the "Derailed Adventure" ticket. Lunch options included snacks at the station and at the Choo-Choo. We chose to take a lunch to eat on the train. This is the trip to take if you love learning about Chattanooga and/or the days of railway travel!
Worth it!

5.00Travis was a fantastic conductor offering a witty and informative commentary on the train. Craig did a great job sharing info in a similar fashion on the trolley. Booked in advance without knowing that it was to be a rainy day but turned out to be a great rainy day activity as well.
Very original and informative tour!

5.00A fabulous couple, and their ferret, gave us a very original and thoroughly enjoyable tour around Chattanooga via trolley bus and train. We learnt a lot and enjoyed their company very much and my daughter even got to have cuddles with Sid, the ferret! Would recommend this trip to all, they even spoke slower for us Brits to fully understand all the information they imparted! Thank you guys!!

4.00People get lost because it's no sign for pick up. Walked for 30 minutes looking for the pick up spot. Other than that everything was good.
Interesting tour with great guide!
