The actual train ride with "in costume" workers brought the experience to life. Also, visiting the repair shop and seeing the old steam engines up close was impressive. Our tour guide, Craig, was knowledgeable and friendly. Great trip overall.

Seeing a large part of the city. Craig was full of information, shared lots of history and current points of interest

The narration was very informative but the train ride was rather short and disappointing. The trolly was fine and educational however.

We had a great trolly ride and train ride. Our guide was very knowledgeable on the history of Chattanooga. Would recommend

We had a lovely day with Craig who has an astounding memory for facts regarding the history of Chattanooga. He took us all around the city. The best part was the train journey and visit to the turntable. Fascinating stories throughout.

The tour was exactly as described. It definitely lasts 4 hours (in fact ours went a little over) so don’t plan something right after. Our tour guide, Craig, was great. He was super knowledgable about the city and the history. We are both history buffs so we love hearing about the civil war etc. and seeing points of interest. The train ride was interesting and not too long. Everyone was very friendly that we met. That might just be Tennessee but it was nice. Would definitely recommend this if you have never been to Chattanooga.

Craig and his wife were awesome! This tour included fascinating history of Chattanooga and a locomotive ride. The small scale train models were my favorite. The trolly was great, though a tad uncomfortable. My only suggestion is for the trolly to take a little better scenic route, if possible.

The owner/tour guide was very informative. we learned a lot! Our 12year old grandson was skeptical at first but ended up really enjoying it.

At first me and my husband missed the time that we were supposed to be there then we prayed about it and after our prayer going back to our hotel Craig called us and said we can do it the next day. Craig is a nice and cool guy!! You will learn a lot about the history of Chattanooga from him and he will show you the places that you need to see in Chattanooga.
