The Trolley Adventure is a MUST for attitude adjustment! It's fun, a tad corny, and surprisingly full of exciting and unique stories about the history of Salt Lake City. We covered a lot of ground, made a few notable stops and were serenaded by our beautiful songstress. The 90 minute tour was well paced and worth every dime!!

It may be hokey, but I love having these guys tell entertaining stories, sometimes with improbable costumes, as we tour a city. Makes the learning fun. They were extremely approachable and a lot of fun to be with.

We enjoyed the entertaining crew on the Trolley with their humor and quick change of attire telling the history of the city. The Trolley tour is 1/5 hours and covered many of the key sites of the city. It was fun. We had taken the city tour that covered more ground the previous day and had already been to the sites on the Trolley tour, however, we very much enjoyed the entertainment.

The guides and driver were entertaining, It was a great $35-$49 tour, not $70. They boast the LDS temple and when we get there it's under construction and you can't see anything. The trolley is an exciting idea but the windows are so short I needed to slouch to see out and had to put my face on the glass to see anything over 15 feet tall (couldn't see much of anything on the other side of the trolley). More time to photograph would've been great.

Thank you for joining us on the Trolley Adventure! We appreciate your feedback. The Trolley Adventure is what we call a "show-tour" as it combines elements of sightseeing as well as theatrical performances by three professionals. This special format is very entertaining to many, especially to those who may not generally enjoy the standard sightseeing bus tour. We do offer a traditional sightseeing bus tour that is conducted in a low-floor bus with large windows and more time off of the vehicle for photos. It really comes down to a personal preference as to which of the two tours a person would enjoy the most. It sounds as if our Salt Lake City Bus Tour may have been a better fit for you. Please contact us on your next visit and we'd love to help you determine which experience is best for you.

This was a very enjoyable and entertaining tour. The hosts were talented and fun. Though it was nearly two hours long, it was never dull. We had two opportunities to get out and see some special buildings on the inside.
We are glad we went and learned so much about Salt Lake City. (We are two senior adults. I believe that many children would not find it very engaging.
Seeing most of the buildings at a distance and sitting in small quarters and the high cost of this tour should be taken into consideration if you have young children.)

This has to be one of the best city tours I have ever been on. They tell the history of the settlement of Salt Lake City and so much more. Both Alina and Ben are great actors and they play the roles of historical figures from the area so well.
They act, sing, tell jokes, play music. Ben is an amazing fiddler.
The minute you get on the trolley you feel very welcomed. They make you feel comfortable and at ease.
If you hop on, be sure to be very generous with them and show them your love and appreciation through generous tips. The love of the audience is what keeps an artist going and this is shown through nice words and, of course, green pieces of paper with dead president's images on them.

This was a fantastic tour of downtown Salt Lake City. The tour guides really knew their stuff and gave me a lot of details about SLC that I didn’t know. I’ve lived here all but 6 years of my life and thought I knew the city retry well, but this tour was much better than I expected and the guides do a great job with their skits to make historical details and people a lot more interesting. I would recommend the trolley tour to everyone coming to Salt Lake, as well as to native Utahns, as you wou will learn a whole lot more about our state.

This is a must do! We have been on many 'trolly' and bus tours around the world and have never experienced anything like this one! Taking it to a whole new level with the acting, singing and information about Salt Lake kept us smiling and laughing and learning about the city. The soda and cracker jack were also a great hit! We highly recommend this!

This was a really fun way to see SLC and learn about its history. The performers were so friendly, talented and entertaining. They really know their city and its history, but don't take themselves too seriously - and they have a great sense of humor!
As other reviewers have mentioned, the views of the city from inside the trolley are a bit limited, but the music and storytelling kept everyone engaged.
We also appreciated the opportunities to stop at the convention center, a church and the capitol to get out and take pictures.

What a surprise! A fun and funny singing trolly tour. Not your typical tour. This group dresses in period costumes sing, fiddles, and puns their way thru the history and highlights of Salt Lake City. A must do for family, couples, or friends. It's a Cracker Jack time!
