The trolly driver and his wife were very nice and made the whole experience enjoyable. We all got on the trolly as strangers and left as friends. Everyone sang happy birthday to my grandaughter which made her day.
This is a kiddy ride on a vintage train for 7 minutes each way. The trolley guide Craig; although he probably meant well, had a bad case of verbal diarrhea. From the moment you got your seat, he talked constantly until you got off. He seemed knowledgeable about the history, but would frequently get off topic. He talked so fast & so much that you couldn't retain much. For the trolley back, he promised he would talk about only 2 things. That went out the window in the first 10 minutes. When I departed, I had a headache from listening to him jammer. If you're hoping for a peaceful tour, pick another option.
Our tour guide was very informative and had a lot of great stories to tell about the city. I strongly recommend them
Our trolley guide was very knowledgeable about the city. The stories he told us were very interesting. He was also very accommodating for us and my service dog thank you so much
This a great tour! Our guide on the trolley was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information on Chattanooga. The train ride was beautiful and comfortable. Very interesting demonstration on how the train turns.
Highly recommend this tour!
Highly recommend, loved all the past history on the trolly and train ride. I do recommend inflection when telling the history.
Craig, was very knowledgeable and quite funny. He gave a wonderful tour of the city and his trolley is quite nice.
It was great!!!
Loved the scenery as we peddled through the mountain. The tunnel was fun and interesting.
Trolly not comfortable. Air conditioner broke. Driver very knowledgeable Glad we took the trip since we’ve never been here before.
Pay attention to the narrative, absolutely 5 stars! If you dont know a little about American History, and the Civil War, you may not be able to keep up. Read a little before you take the trip on the Trolley! So much knowledge from one man! It was awesome and any negative reviews are.probably from someone who brought a little kid who couldnt sit still...or someone from another country who doesnt understand what happened in the city of Chattanooga! It would be a must a see if you want to know some history about the city and the leaders. The train ride was a little disappointing. Condutor bashing the prior people before us because they wouldn't get off the train right away to see the turn around, then he was talking when we were trying to.listen to the narrative, on top we had kids that were no doubt having a good time as they were screaming and yelling, while parents did nothing in another seat. So, train ride is a hit or miss, no doubt while it's traveling but food was good at the deli at the train station and the young narrator did a great job when we stopped with narration at the turn around and at the "museum part." So that's my perspective...you may have a different one, but I would probably do it again, as so much knowledge was shared on the trolley.
Well planned, on time and following the schedule. Good activity to learn more about Chattanooga history.
The trolley driver was very knowledgeable about the history of Chattanooga and quite personable.I also enjoyed the train ride. The guides were hilarious . Enjoyed this tour as a whole. Nothing negative to state.
It was fun and I learned a lot . Loved the Train ride. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun
It was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Craig was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about the history of Chattanooga. The train tour was also very interesting, especially when they showed us how they turn the engine around when it gets to the end of the line. To think that 4 men use to turn the engine by hand was unbelievable considering its weight.
The trolley ride around town was amazing. We went to ride the train, waited for awhile and they announced it was canceled! Very disappointed that we didn't get to ride that day.
If you're good with listening to paint dry, this is the trip for you.
The first section was the trolley ride throughout town. The driver talked incessantly for constantly 1 - 1 1/2 hours. I am astonished he could remember all his stories. That was the most impressive part of all. The seats were all wood & extremely hard + uncomfortable.
The 2nd section was the train ride. Yes, there was a different man talking, but fortunately, it was a short ride to a railway museum.
The good part was that we all got off and had the option to go listen to another series of stories or walk around the antique engines. Enjoyable!!!!
Unfortunately, we had to ride the Trolley back to where we started & listen to NONSTOP Craig for another almost hour. So glad for it to be over.

Thank you for the high praise. We strive to be the tour in Chattanooga that provides the most information about Chattanooga.
The trolley was comfortable and the driver/narrator was good. His stories and information were enjoyable, but he needs new equipment as it was hard to hear and understand him. The train ride was fun with plenty of room and a good narrator. The stop at the train terminal was interesting and it felt good to support training. The experience was easy for us old folks as well as the young kids on the ride with us
Trolley tour guide very informative. Enjoyed the experience. Excellent for adults and history buffs especially with interest in the civil war.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable on our tour. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn about Chattanooga history.
We had a great time and learned a lot about the history of the town. Also learned of some places to visit while here.
Great time! Very thorough fun and informative! Craig clearly loves this city and loves to share his stories.
It was interesting the tour guide was great he had many stories going way back in time! He remembered names, places,& dates! I mentioned he must of had a wonderful history teacher! Thank you for an interesting day! I will recommend! From the Sandlin’s

Great tour. Very detailed and informative narrative from Craig whilst touring Chattanooga on the trolley bus and then on to the train at the Tennessee Valley Railroad. Highly recommend this company. He is very knowledgeable on history and keen on preserving it.
