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.

5.00Provided a great tour, WAY more than you could see on a walking tour, and provided keen explanations for how Minneapolis became what it is, including: physical/geographic dynamics re Mississippi/glacial; industrial dynamics (mills, railroad and lumber); social and political dynamics in the nation and in the city; and social and architectural dynamics, all of which combined to make Minneapolis a truly special and unusual city. Highly recommend.
Lots of great Minneapolis...
