trolley tour

Guided city circuit

A trolley tour is a sightseeing excursion conducted aboard a trolley—typically a bus styled to resemble old-fashioned streetcars, with open sides and bench seating.

Common in tourist destinations, these tours follow set routes past landmarks while a guide narrates: We took a trolley tour of the historic district.

Many offer hop-on, hop-off service.
