Climb aboard Fredericksburg’s iconic red trolleys and let a local family guide you through three centuries of American story. Woman-owned and operated since 1994, Trolley Tours of Fredericksburg blends vintage charm with modern co...
Locals keep coming back to this trolley tour, and that tells you something. One resident has taken it nearly 15 times just to show off the city to visitors, discovering something fresh each trip since different guides bring their own perspectives and stories to Fredericksburg's deep history. The 75-minute tour hits the highlights while giving you a solid foundation for exploring on your own afterward. Guides like Heidi and Mark get consistent shoutouts for being knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing the area's past. The experience works for all ages, though fair warning: the wooden benches can get uncomfortable if you're not used to them. Most guides deliver the history with personality and humor, though a couple reviewers caught drivers on off days who seemed less enthusiastic. The tour also offers special Christmas light versions that include caroling, which families particularly love. Staff at the visitor center are helpful, and the company shows flexibility in scheduling when they can. It's an excellent starting point for figuring out what else you want to see during your visit.
Excellent driver, singer and tour guide! We went all around the city of Fredericksburg to see such wonderful lights, we sung Christmas carols and had a great time. I’m already committed to coming back next year.
