Definitely Go On This Tour! - Was able to reserve our time slot online & pay for them. Their little ticket booth is located just outside the Visitors Center doorway so they’re easy to find when you arrive to check in. The married couple that runs the tours are very pleasant and genuine. Great sense of humor and great choice of music! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative, especially about Jim Thorpe himself. Fascinating individual and the world’s greatest athlete by far. Very pleasant 70 minute tour. We happened to go on a cloudy (sometimes drizzly) day and really enjoyed the open-air trolley, the sights and the scenery! We loved how the tour guide used music to keep everyone engaged! You really don’t want to miss this tour if you’re visiting! Highly recommend!

Nice time - My 89 year old mother and I came to Jim Thorpe for the day. I was an overcast day with light drizzle so I thought it a good idea to do the tour. It was enjoyable, comfortable and educational. The staff were excellent!

Fun Hour - Our guide (also the driver) made the tour very enjoyable. She has a good sense of humor and had the passengers very involved. A thorough history of the area was provided. Definitly worth the money. Note: parking in the area is a bear so give yourself extra time to walk to the trolley as one can be a good 15+ minute walk.

Energetic Guide - The driver was great and enthusiastic about presenting the information about Jim Thorpe! The last stop at the campground and lake could be dropped off the end of the itinerary…

Nice train ride - Nice experience but it was difficult to hear the tour guides as the intercom system did not appear to work well.
