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.

Enjoyed learning about the history of Minneapolis. Our guide, Conner, was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, we did not get to view “the pencil” due to traffic congestion from the sharpening of the pencil. Overall a very good tour.

What an outstanding tour sharing the history and geographical area of Minneapolis! The trolley itself is charming, comfortable and authentic with open air windows and stained glass lamp shades on the ceiling. Our guide was delightful in his description of the three sources of commerce sustaining the early years of the City as well as highlighting how the City changed over the years of beautification. I especially enjoyed learning about the parks and the different areas of town. Loved seeing the Prince mural and the Pencil. This tour is a must see.
