The trolley tour was wonderful. Debbie was an excellent guide and taught us so much about Bowling Green! We definitely recommend this tour !

The tour itself was very interesting but we wasted a good part of our morning when we could have been doing something else because the tickets we bought off of Tripadvisor had a 10am departure time but after waiting until almost 15 after, I called the tour company only to be told the tour didn't start until 11:15am... When the trolley arrived, the tour guide said she didn't have us on her list but after showing her our tickets she said, oh, it looks like Tripadvisor has our last year's hours still on the site. She honored our tickets but I think someone needs to fix this issue for future customers

TripAdvisor ripped me off. I'm sure that the Bowling Green Historic City Trolley Tours would have been great, problem is that even though TripAdvisor sold me two tickets for $40, the Bowling Green Historic City Trolley Tours only runs over the summer months, not in February. I bought the tickets as a surprise for my wife's Birthday. Boy was she surprised when the man from the Chamber of Commerce, working at the Corvette Museum, told us the bad news. He said that the Bowling Green Historic City Trolley Tours has told TripAdvisor not to sell tickets during the winter, but evidently, they haven't taken notice. Worst part is that in spite of my attempts to reach TripAdvisor to get my money refunded, I have heard nothing at this time. Will definitely try to do the tour another time. Will definitely not use TripAdvisor again unless they go above and beyond to make it right. Thanks

We went and found out the trolley doesn’t run this season. It took a long time to get through to Viator to request a refund and have to wait for a response.

TripAdvisor booked this tour that doesn’t even run this time of year. Disappointed with TripAdvisor! Working on getting a refund..

What a wonderful way to discover the history of Bowling Green, as well as viewing its newest attractions. AIR CONDITIONED trolley in excellent condition, knowledgeable and fun guide, superb driver. Our guests from out of state enjoyed the experience, and those of us from the area increased our knowledge of what this city had to offer - both in the present and in the past.
