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.

5.00Our family likes to do guided tours in most areas we visit. I’ve been going to school here for 2 years and I learned more about the twin cities in one hour than I had during that time! Our guide was super skilled at navigating, talking, and listening to comments of those around him. There were historical pictures and comfortable seating on the trolley. And to find out this is a family business was so touching and awesome!! I would totally come back for some of the themed / night tours!
Go!
