Our tour guide was interesting, educational and humorous. (And he managed to talk and drive at the same time.) Take this tour! You'll be glad you did.

Sitting tour on very comfortable trolley bus.
What an extremely knowledgeable and fun narrator that gave us history and up to the minute facts about Minneapolis AND Saint Paul
We are already letting friends and family know they should book and recommend to visitors.
Fun filled 90 minutes We wish it was even longer.

My husband and I brought our adult son with special needs for the tour in June. Once we arrived in the parking lot we realized that the tour was too overwhelming for him and we were ready to leave. However, the thoughtful guide offered to speak to our son in the car and convinced him to go on the tour. The guide made accommodations for us to get on the trolley first and he was very kind. The tour was very good — thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Viewed much of the city including some little known. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and provided the history behind each site. Very interesting and we learned so much about Minneapolis in a short time!! The Pillsbury House was beautiful and well preserved.

Our guide was really entertaining, funny and informative. Learned a lot about Minneapolis that I had zero knowledge of. Great way to see a whole lot of the city and then decide which bits you want to revisit in your own. Highly recommend, especially at the very beginning of your trip.

Trolley driver was great. Super informative. And very fun and personable. Loved hearing about the city and his history. The trolley itself was a bit musty. And being told we couldn’t bring water unless it was purchased left a sour taste in my mouth. We were going to stay after and get cheese curds but changed our minds based on that. So they lost business. Would recommend as it’s the best option for a tour locally.

This was super fun and well-worth it. We loved that the tour is run by a family and they are having fun with the whole thing. We loved our guide, who was super knowledgeable about the city. We definitely recommend.

Wonderful adventure, my husband learned things he did not know although born and raised here. Wish we had had time to do the haunted tour.

This tour was fun and informative. The Pillsbury Club staff were friendly and the food was delicious. You must try the cheese curds! They are the best I have ever had!
Charles_R, Jun 2026
Amazing and I would highly recommend this tour. The tour guide (driver) was fantastic and has the perfect attitude and energy to keep it entertaining and engaging. Wyoming suggestion would be is to let the people know that we can open up those windows to bring in some air. They also have a restaurant if you want to get a bite to eat.

Very informative tour. The tour guide did an excellent job explaining the history of the structures and city before and after any the many launches of city initiatives.

Great way to see Minneapolis and learn its history when you only have 2 days stay like we did. Tour guide was interesting, funny and knowledgeable. Enjoyed a light lunch at the Pillsbury Club where the tour leaves from.
Patrick_L, May 2026
Great tour with a tremendous amount of interesting facts about Minneapolis. Definitely worth the money and I would do it again. I actually learned stuff that was pretty cool…

Nancy_S, May 2026
Terrific information - history, architecture, arts.
Come early to the Pillsbury Club to get your boarding pass and explore this amazing venue.
James_D, May 2026
Activity was well run and very informative. Found parking challenging due to significant construction in area. Also, the description did not indicate that parking was available to Pillsbury club guests in the church parking lot across the street. Food, snacks and beverages are available for purchase at the club.

I was looking for a chill activity for my coworkers visiting from NYC to do while in town. They had a great time! I also learned some new things, even after having lived in the Twin Cities for nearly 20 years. Great guide and fun info about our great city.
Edna_M, May 2026
A great tour of Minneapolis. Went with a friend visiting from another state. She likes exploring and learning so I thought she would enjoy it. And even though I’ve lived in the south metro for several years, I don’t know Minneapolis well. Thanks to this tour I have a much better understanding of Minneapolis and also a greater appreciation. The trolly tour was great. A unique way to see the city and can’t say enough about the fabulous tour guide. He is a good enough reason to take the tour. So whether you are visiting or already live here, highly recommend this tour
Karen_E, May 2026

This is a wonderful overview of the history of Minneapolis (and a little about Saint Paul!) which will intrigue you and captivate your attention for the entire ride. I recommend this for anyone who lives near or far away! Our guide was fun, funny and well-informed!
