About
See and learn about Eureka Springs, up close and personal on our open-air, trolley style trams. Each tour is fully narrated by a fun, knowledgeable local guide. The tour makes 2 stops. First stop is a the 1886 Crescent Hotel, where there will be ample time to look around inside and outside the hotel, as well as enjoying the view of the beautiful Ozark mountains and the Christ of the Ozarks Statue. The second stop is at one of the historic cold water springs. The tram is "covered" but open on the sides. This makes it great for being able to see the beautiful homes, buildings, limestone walls and sidewalks and the tree covered hillsides throughout this amazing historic district. Find out, too, why Robert Ripley, of Ripley's Believe it Or Not, called Eureka Springs one of the 10 Most Unusual Towns he ever visited in the United States.

I would highly recommend this tour as an introduction to Eureka Springs and a relaxing way to see the surroundings up close. Our guide is a native to the area and shared some good insights and personal stories; sometimes too much for my taste. Some of the dialogue felt like a sales pitch for certain businesses and I would have preferred straight-up history. Also, way too long of a stop at the Crescent Hotel since there is no disembarking, and being a hot day one side of the tram was in the direct sun way too long. All in all, a very nice way to spend an hour and a half and learn some fun things about a beautiful town. Reasonably priced, the tram driver was very cautious and drove slowly so you could take in the sights.

My husband and I went on a tour 6/13/21 and loved it. I love history and he loves architecture so this was perfect. Walking and driving around town twice for several days each time exploring different sites yet we learned more on this hour tour than all the exploring we did on our own. Definitely worth the money and our narrator was a great local guy who really knew his stuff!

This is a very informative, fun, interesting ride through the beautiful historic Eureka Springs. The guy doing the narration has lived there 70 years and knows everything you would need to know about Eureka Springs. I highly recommend this tour.

We highly recommend doing the tram tour at the start of your stay in Eureka Springs. It's a good way to learn about the history of the city and also to scope out where you might want to visit/shop/dine during the rest of your stay.

Our guide, Timothy, was very knowledgeable and very funny!

We decided to take the tour on a whim. We were not disappointed. I have been coming to Eureka Springs since I was a child, but I learned so much about the city’s history on this tour. Our tour guide was incredible. He’s not from the city or even the state, but I would guess that he knows far more about the area than most lifetime residents. My kids (13 and 11) even enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend. Warning: It is an open tram so this time of year is very hot. Be prepared to shower after the tour.

Our tram tour was wonderful, and our guide was so engaging and funny. He was so knowledgeable about the town and seemed to really enjoy what he does. He talked about 9 generations of his family being in Eureka Springs. We truly enjoyed this tour.

Every visitor should take this tour, preferably before going anywhere else. The guide had great information about the city and there were a couple of places you got out to see the view of the valley and the springs. You get a good look at all the historic houses without having to drive the narrow streets. The only way I ever want to see them!

Visited Eureka Springs for the 1st time so we decided to take a tram tour. Our tour guide David was GREAT. He was full on knowledge about the history of Eureka Springs. Loved being able to see and hear about the different things the town has to offer. Also, those drivers have some skills/patience to squeeze through small/windy roads. Both of my kids(11/12) enjoyed the tour as well.

Overall disappointing. Expected more historical information and more places off the beaten path which we had already driven ourselves. Tour guide spent 15 minutes in parking lot talking about himself. Then 15 minutes sitting in front of Crescent Hotel talking about flowers. Then stopped at Catholic Church for 25 minutes. Driving part of tour (35 minutes) was spent telling us where to eat and shop because he was being given freebies from the businesses in return. Not worth $18.

Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of Eureka Springs as he had lived here all of his life. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful Victorian buildings along the route. When we stopped at the Crescent Hotel, our son had to go to the bathroom and our guide asked one of the workers if he would allow our boy to use their bathroom. The only complaint was that when we stopped it wasn’t very pleasant due to the heat and we couldn’t always hear our guide. I would recommend sitting near the front of the tram so you can hear everything that’s said.
